The leaves of this species, although smaller, have much the same 

 venation as those of P. Teysmaimii, King. The carpels of this are, how- 

 ever, very much smaller than those of P. Teysmannii. 



26. PoLYALTHiA ciNNAMOMEA, Hook. fil. and Thoms. Fl. Ind. 138 ; 

 Hook fil. Fl. Br. Ind. I, 65. A tree 60 to 70 feet high ; young branches 

 rusty-tomentose. Leaves thinly coriaceous, narrowly oblong to oblan- 

 ceolate, tapering to each end, acute or shortly acuminate, the base 

 rounded ; upper surface glabrous, shining ; the lower sparsely lucid-

 Flowers sub-sessile, solitary, or in pairs from short woody tubercles from 

 the young branches below the leaves, dull red, 2 to 2 "25 in. long; pe- 

 duncles very short, rusty-tomentose, bracteolate at the base. Sepals 

 spreading, sub-orbicular, "25 in. long, tomentose. Petals sub- equal,

 short, compressed ; connective with broad, flat, apical, truncate pi'ocess. 

 Pistils oblong, pubescent ; stigma large, sub-tx'uncate. Torus convex, to-

 with very short stalks, '75 to 1 in. long and 5 to '75 in. in diam., densely 

 rusty-tomentose ; pericarp thick. Seeds 2, plano-convex, with scaly

Apparently not a common species. Maingay's specimens from 

 Malacca have rather larger and smoother leaves than those from 

 Singapore and Penang.
