■20 Maierials for a Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 



Note. 

 Connarus Diepenhorstii, Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. Suppl. 529, (of whicli a type 

 specimen is in the Calcutta Herbarium) is unmistakeably a species of Agelaea and 

 should be named Agelaea Diepenhorstii. It is allied to A. WalUchii, Hook, fil., but 

 has larger leaflets and much longer racemes. To this belong Teysmann's Sumatra 

 specimens from Prianam (Herb. Hort. Bogor., No. 2197), and Forbes's from the 

 Lampongs in Sumatra, Nos. 1313 and 1386.

A rambling shrub. Leaves unequally pinnate, glabrous ; leaflets 3, 

 quite entire. Panicles axillary, short. Flowers hermaphrodite. Calyx- 

 tube short, hemispheric ; segments 5, enlarged and revolute in fruit, 

 valvate. Petals 5, much exceeding the calyx. Stamens 10, alternately 

 shorter, nearly free at the base. Ovaries 5, sessile ; styles short, stigmas

 434 ; Fl. Br. Ind. II, 55. Young branches puberulous, and with pale 

 brown lenticels ; all parts except the inflorescence quite glabrous. 

 Leaflets coriaceous, the terminal largest, elliptic to ovate- elliptic, with 

 sub-acute slightly bifid apices, slightly narrowed to the rounded base, 

 the edges slightly sub-revolute when dry ; both surfaces shining, the 

 lower reticulate ; main nerves 4 or 5 pairs, the lower pair sub-marginal, 

 all curved upwards, prominent on the lower and depressed on the 

 upper surface ; the petiolules of all jointed, '15 in. long ; length of the 

 terminal leaflets 5 to 6*5 in., the laterals smaller. Panicles (fide Sir 

 J. D. Hooker) "2 to 3 in. long, fascicled, densely pubescent, slender. 

 Flowers rotate, '33 in. in diam. Segments of the calyx oblong, pubescent, 

 recurved in flower. Petals twice as long, linear, dilated upwards, 

 glabrous ; filaments short, subulate. Follicles 2 or 3, '5 to 1 in. long,

7. Cnestis, Juss. 



Scandent shrubs or trees. Leaves unequally pinnate ; leaflets many, 

 quite entire. Flowers in racemes, tomentose, rarely panicled, polyga- 

 mous or dioecious, rotate. Sepals 5, valvate or imbricate at the tip, 

 spreading in fruit. Petals 5, shorter or longer than the calyx. Stamens 

 10, free. Ovaries 5-7, sessile ; styles short, stigmas capitellate. Capsules
