rounded, lateral nerves about 10 pairs curved and weak towards margin, 

 panicle pyramidal rather compact femiginously-pubescent divaricately 

 branched, bracts obsolete, pedicels shorter than the flowers, calyx ultimately 

 truncate-dentate, stamens shorter than petals. 



MALACCA, Griffith, Mawyaji. 



Tree; branchlets with pale-brown irregularly striate bark when young, as well as pe- 

 tioles and petiolules clothed with ferruginous pubescence. Leaves of flovre ring-shouts 

 12-18 in. ; petiole 4-5 in., closely striate below, nhallowly channelled above, petiolule 

 -f in. slightly transversely rugose and thickened at either extremity. Punlcle ,'5-4 in., 

 pedicels -^5- in. Bracteoles minute, obtuse. Cnli/.r pubescent. Xtuntin* inserted be- 

 neath the margin of the disk. JJrupe as in S. apiculata, but a more reddish purple 

 \vhen dry. 



** Panicle pedunculate. 



6. S. laevig-ata, JJlume Mu*. Ilt. i. 211 ; leaflets 7-15 glabrous on 

 both surfaces elliptic-lanceolate elliptic or oblong- acuminate, base acute 

 or rounded, midrib prominent above, lateral nerves 12-18 pairs mmv >i 

 less divaricating, panicle shorter than leaves pyramidally branched, pe- 

 duncle and branches minutely puberulous, bracts obsolete, pedicels as long 

 as the flowers, calyx at length truncate-dentate, stamens about equalling 

 petals, style nearly basal in fruit. Canarium hevigatum, Mi'/. Ft. I u<l. 

 But. vol. i. pt. 2, 648. 



MALACCA, ffriffitJi, Ma'niywj. DISTRIB. Sumatra. 



A large tree ; branchlets striate, with decurrent angles from the bases of the leaves 

 and ashy-brown bark with minute white warts, /^ares of flowering shoots 10-18 in. ; 

 petiole 2-4 in., striate and channelled above; leaflets 4-7 by H '2 in., petiolule | 

 J'uiiidc 6-9 in., peduncle 2^-4 in., pi-dicels about ^ in. Bracteoles minute. 

 minutely hispid, ultimately almost transversely truncate, titnim us with !i! 

 dilated at the ha<r>, inserted just below the outer margin of the disk. Dm. 

 globose, \ in. diam. Illume has figured the stamens incorrectly as inserted tit the 

 of the disk, as is proved by the examination of an authentic specimen. 



7. S. multiflora, A. IT. Jlenn. ; leaflets about 7 glabrous above except 

 the prominent tomentose midrib ferrugiiiously pubescent beneath elliptic- 



ig shortly acuminate, base obliquely rounded, lateral nerves about 

 15-18 pairs, panicle shorter than leaves pyramidally branched, peduncle 

 and branches ochraceously pubescent, bracts caducous, pedicels as long 

 as the flowers, calyx at length truncate-dentate, stamens about equalling 

 the petals, style subtenninal in fruit. 



MALACCA, Griffith, Mainymj. 



Tree ; young branchlets, pedicels and inflorescence ochraceously pubescent. Leaves 

 of flowering shoots 6-12 in.; petiole 2-4 in., striate and flat above; leaflets 4-6 by 

 1^-2^ in., petiolule |~4 in. Panicle 4-6 in., peduncle ^-1$ in., pedicels T \ in. Brac- 

 minute. Calyx minutely hispid. Petals covered with a glaucous bloom. 

 s with filaments slightly dilated at the base, inserted just below the outer mar- 

 gin of the disk. Drupe 4 in. long, globosely cylindric, reticulate and pruinose when 

 dry ; stone woody ; fruit-pedicel in. long, stout. This agrees in everything except 

 the small number of leaflets with S. tomentosa, Bh, which occurs in Sumatra, and with 

 which it may eventually prove identical. 



8. S. Blaing-ayi, A. W. Benn. ; leaflets 7-9 glabrous on both sides 

 oblong-lanceolate shortly acuminate, base acute, lateral nerves about 10 

 curving towards the margin, panicle shorter than the leaves cymosely dicho- 

 tomously branched, peduncle and branches minutely puberulous finally 

 glabrescent, bracts obsolete, pedicels rather longer than the flowers, calyx- 

 teeth deltoid obtuse, stamens shorter than the petals.
