ferruginous-pubescent with short, stellately arranged hairs. 

 Branches smooth, terete, olivaceous-brownish, the ultimate ones 

 3 mm in diameter. Leaves rather distant, alternate, 25 to 30 

 cm long; leaflets about 12, alternate and opposite, lanceolate, 

 coriaceous, dark-brown or olivaceous-brown and shining when 

 dry, 11 to 15 cm long, 2.5 to 4 cm wide, apex slenderly acuminate, 

 base obtuse and usually distinctly inequilateral, one side of the 

 lamina extending below the other on the petiolule ; lateral nerves 

 12 to 14 on each side of the midrib, obscure on the upper surface, 

 prominent beneath, curved, scarcely anastomosing, the reticula- 

 tions distinct or indistinct; petiolules 5 to 9 mm long. Panicles 

 axillary, exceeding the leaves, up to 40 cm in length, shortly 

 peduncled, pyramidal, very many flowered, the lower branches 

 up to 15 cm in length, the older parts nearly glabrous, the younger 

 parts rather densely but minutely stellate-pubescent with fer- 

 ruginous hairs. Flowers racemose, small, densely arranged on 

 the ultimate branchlets, their pedicels short. Calyx densely 

 stellate-pubescent, 5-lobed, the lobes less than one-half the length 

 of the calyx, acute. Petals 5, free, suborbicular to elliptic-ovate, 

 1 mm long or less. Staminal tube free, turbinate, 0.5 mm long, 

 crenulate. Anthers 5, attached on the margin of the tube.

This species, dedicated to Captain J. C. Moulton, formerly director of 

 the Sarawak Museum, is well characterized in the section Hearnia by its 

 glabrous branches and leaves and its very large densely and many 

 flowered panicles. It does not appear to be very closely allied to any pre- 

 viously described species.
