The materials on which this species is founded are not so completo a might be 

 desired. The point in which they more especially fail is that no leaf* peci men lias ripe 

 fruit actually attached to it. The young acorns which are attached agree, however, - • 

 well with the ripe detached ones picked up from under trees by Maingay, that there is 

 practically no doubt of the identity of the two. The species resembles (J. Wcnziyiana, 

 King; but this has larger leaves, shorter spikes, and a different cupulc. Tho ripe fruit 

 of this also much resembles that of Q. lucid*, Roxb. A plant very near, if not identical 

 with, this was collected by Motley in Borneo (77 'b. Motley 464 and 1168), 1 have 

 named this species after Sir Cecil Clementi Smith, Governor of the Straits Settlements.
