 high : young branches as thick as a swan-quill, brown when dry. Leaves 

 coriaceous, oblong-elliptic, the apex sub-acute, narrowed gradually to 

 the cordate, slightly oblique base ; upper surface olivaceous when dry, 

 the lower pale-brown ; main-nerves 12 to M pairs, ascending, curving a 

 little aud interarching '2 to '4 in. from the edge, very prominent on the 

 lower surface, faint on the upper ; intermediate nerves and reticulations 

 slender but distinct ; length 12 to 18 in. ; breadth 5 to 8 in. ; petiole 3 

 in. very stout. Flowers 1 in. or more across, in fascicles of 6 to 8 from 

 depressed tubercles on the smaller branches, on peduncles '5 in. long. 

 Oalyx-tuhe campanulate, '5 in. long, contracted into a pseudo-stalk at its 

 3 auction with the peduncle: the mouth with 4 broad, rounded lobes

Perak : King's Collector 5595. 



A species only once collected and the specimens have no fruit ; somewhat 

 resembling E. macrocaiya, Roxb., but with smaller flowers and larger leaves.

 flowered corymbose racemes : peduncle of racemes from 1 to 1-25 in. in 

 length ; pedicels of flowers '4 to '6 in. long. Calyx-tube clavate- 

 turbinate, smooth, "35 to "5 in. long, tapering into a short pseudo-stalk, 

 the 4 lobes broad, unequal, rounded, blunt, concave. Petals obovate- 

 orbicular, larger than the sepals. Filaments slender, about "75 in. long.
