 Fl. Malay Peninsula I. (1922) 494. — »Small tree-like shrub; entirely softly hairy 

 except the upper side of the leaves. Leaves 2 ft. long or more; leaflets 10, alter- 

 nate, elliptic-lanceolate shortly acuminate, neryes 18 pairs, membranous, 12 in. 

 long, 4 in. wide; petiolules 0,15 in. long. Panicles axillary; branches few distant. 

 Flowers 0,1 in. wide racemose. Sepals 5 orbicular pubescent, edge ciliate. Petals 4 

 glabrous ovate rounded nearly twice as long, scales at base oblong densely white- 

 woolly. Stamens 3 short. Disc undulate. Pistil densely hairy. 



In Peninsula Malaica; — »Kelantan, Ghaning Woods (Ridley). A plant on 

 the Pehi stream had much smaller leaves, the leaflets 5 by 2 in., oblong and 

 quite blunt.«
