PENANG, Wallich. 



Leaves 68 by 2-3 J in., base cordate, finely reticulate beneath, nerves oblique, con- 

 spicuous ; petiole J in. Flowers small, white, in 2-3-flowered cymes, tomentose. 

 Sepals orbicular. Outer petals very thick, broad ovate, acute ; inner thick, arched, 

 rather contracted at the base. Genus doubtful, the flowers being immature.

 tusely acuminate glabrous above except the midrib puberulous beneath, 

 flowers monoecious, pedicels fascicled axillary, carpels globose. Uvaria

TENASSERIM, Hdfer. DISTRIB. Java. 



A small tree, 25 ft. ; young branches hoary. Leaves 4-8 by 1^-2^ in., base acute, 

 conspicuously reticulate beneath, nerves parallel; petiole - in. Pedicels 3-6, slender, 

 4-1 4 in., pubescent ; bracts basal ; bracieole median, minute, ovate. Sepals minute, 

 ovate, obtuse. Petals outside and margins tomentose, outer very small, subacute; 

 inner in., trapezoid ; claw narrow, erect. $ with 6 staminodes in 3 pairs. Ovaries 

 pilose, 4-ovuled. Carpels 4-seeded. Heifer's specimens differ from Blume's figure only 

 in the rather longer petiole, all are male (like Blume's), but Maingay says the species 

 is monoecious.
