PASANIA 



slightly narrowed towards the blunt or acute, occasionally unequal, base; somewhat 

 furfuraceous-pubescent on both surfaces when young; when adult glabrous or glab * 



upper surface, except the midrib and nerves; the under surface pale, glabrous 



glabrescent, or sparsely furfuraceous-pubescent, except the midrib and nerves, which, as 

 on the upper surface, are f ulvous-tomentose ; length of blade 4 to 7 or even 9 in., 

 breadth 2 in. to 35 in ; petiole nearly -5 in. ; stipules lanceolate, pubescent, -25 in. long. 

 Fiower spikes in large, open-branched, terminal or axillary panicles, which are much 

 longer than the leaves : very few of them female. Male flowers solitary ; the perianth 

 spreading 6-cleft; anthers about 12. Spikes of ripe fruit longer than the leaves, erect, 

 stout. Ripe cupules on short, thick stalks, saucer-shaped, flat, -6 in. to -9 in. in diameter 

 and -1 in. deep; scales with broadly ovate, connate bodies and free, acute, spreading 

 apices. Clans globose, conic, or ovoid-conic, with truncate base ; the apex crowned by 

 the remains of the united styles, glabrous, shining, about -6 in. high.— Bl. Bijdr. 520 5

A 'spreading tree, 40 to 60 and even 100 feet in height. This approaches 

 hystrix.. Korth., and Q. cyrtorhyncha, Miq., as has been pointed out under these 



species 



It is rather variable as to form of leaf and amount of pubescence. Typical 



Sundi 



ginally described by Blume, has thinner, more elliptic, leave 



wi 



more 



dency to become glabrous when adult than Q. hystrix. This species also 



embles Q. grandif 



King; but the latter has larger, more coriaceous, leaves, 

 larTe7iruiC and is almost perfectly glabrous. Oudemann's remarks on the relations of 

 Blume's three species-/*™^, Sundaica, and Korthalsii-zve excellent, and their perusal 



amon 



causes one to regret that their author did not pursue further his research 

 the rich Malayan materials in the Leiden Herbarium. Roxburgh's descrrption o 



ta in his Flora Indica is rather meagre ; but his unpublished drawing of that 

 the Calcutta Herbarium leaves no doubt as to its identity with Bl 



pecies in 



earlier published Q. Sundaica. Several specimens named Q. Sundaica in the Leiden 



Museum are, in my opinion, referable to Q. pallida, Bl
