 acuminate, base shortly acute, coriaceous glabrous; nerves about 18 pairs, shining 

 above, subglaucous beneath, 3—3,5 inch. long, 1,5 inch. wide; petiolules 0,18 inch.

»This closely resembles JV. rubescens Hiern, and has been confused with it. The leaves are 

 narrower and more rigid, and the fruit is totally different, bearing flat triangulär blunt spines close 

 together.«

 Tree ^ 40 — 50 ft., flowers white. — Allied to N. glabrum Noronha.« — »The following 

 numbers are closely allied to the above, but differ slightly in leaf-form and colour of 

 flower: — 1625, flowers greenish white, with narrower leaves; 1637a, flowers lake-

Nephelium (Euphoria) pubescens Ridley in Journ. Straits Branch R. As. Soc. LIX. 

 (1911)88; Craib, Fl. Siam. enum. I. (1926) 331.— »Tree about 30 feet tall, shrubby 

 erect. Branches and young parts closely densely hairy. Leaves equally pinnate with 

 4 pairs of leaflets 6 inches long, rachis closely pubescent with stellate hairs, leaflets 

 alternate elliptic obtuse inequilateral, coriaceous, 4 inches long by 2 inches wide or 

 less, above glabrous, except the midrib depressed hairy, beneath shortly hairy, thickly 

 on the nerves, nerves about 10 pairs subhorizontal to near the margin, reticulations 

 conspicuous, petiolule very short i/ 10 inch long. Inflorescence 8—10 inches long, 

 branches suberect, branchlets short with cymules of flowers crowded. All densely 

 pubescent, except the flowers. Bracts lanceolate white. Flowers very shortly sessile. 

 Galyx lobes short lanceolate pubescent. Petals 5 elliptic oblong obtuse white gla- 

 brous more than twice as long as the sepals, scales at the base large oblong trun- 

 cate connate pubescent. Stamens 8, glabrous, as long as the petals, style as long. 

 Fruit (not ripe) oblong, covered with crowded processes over a quarter of an inch 

 long, densely pubescent.« 



In Siam: »Bangtaphan. A jungle tree (Keith)«. »As far as the vegetative 

 organs go, this seems to closely resemble Radlkofer's Euphoria setosa, but it differs 

 in the broad blunt glabrous petals with prominent scales at the base and glabrous 

 stamens. E. setosa is a native of Perak (n. 7677). I have seen no specimen. From 

 N. malaiense, the Mata Kuching, it differs in its pubescence, larger flowers and fruit. «
