330 Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Pehinsula. 



Leaves clustered at the apices of the branches, coriaceous, ohovate, 

 broadly elliptic or sub-rotund, the petioles long; the apex usually- 

 broad and rounded, rarely subacute ; the base slightly cuneate, some- 

 times slightly unequal ; botli surfaces puberulous when young, glabrous 

 and reticulate when old, the upper with numerous minute papillae ; main 

 nerves 6-8 pairs, spreading, prominent, the midrib prominent on both 

 sides and sometimes with 2 glands near the sides of its base : length -A'S-S 

 in., breadth 3"5-4'75 in , petiole l'75-4 in. Spikes axillary, slender, 

 longer than the petioles, shorter than the leaves, rusty- pubescent. 

 Flowers about •25 in. in diam., those in the upper part of the spike 

 male, those in the lower hermnphrodite. Calyx-tube short, stout, includ- 

 iniy the ovary, minutely tomentose, the mouth with broad triangular 

 lobes, pubescent outside, densely villous inside. Stamens much exserted. 

 Drupe ovoid or globular-ovoid, densely covered with minute pale tomen- 

 tum, when dried obscurely 5-angled, 1 in. long and "75 in. in diam.

Roxburgh describes and figures (Corom. Plants t. 198 ; Fl. Ind. II, 431) a form 

 of this with two glands at the apex of the petiole on the under surface of the 

 leaf; but this form has not hitherto been collected in any Malayan country, and its 

 occurrence in British ludia must be rare. 



4. Terminalia rHELLOGARPA, King n. sp. A tree; young branches 

 rather slender, deciduously rusty -tomentose. Leaves crowded near the 

 apices of the branches, coriaceous, obovate, blunt, tapering from above 

 the middle to- the petiole, slightly oblique at the base ; both surfaces 

 glabrous and shining, the lower widely reticulate and minutely dotted ; 

 main nerves 4-6 pairs, spreading but curving upwards ; length 3-4 in., 

 breadth l'75-2 in. ; petiole about "8 in., thickened towards the base, 

 rusty-pubescent. Flowers unknown. Fruit elliptic, blunt at each end, 

 2'3 in. long, breadth 1*5 in. ; the apex with a short sharp mammilla '15 

 in. long, the pericarp thick, spongy, with horizontal layers of fibions 

 tissue, the eudocarp woody.

This has been collected only once, and the specimens are without flowers. I havo 

 named it from its corky fruit. In its leaves this greatly resembles the Philippine 

 species T. Tiife???, Presl J but that has a very much smaller fruit than this; more-
