 Maingay No. 816. SINGAPORE; Maingay No. 815. DISTRIB. Sumatra and Java. 



Leaves acute, but not at all acuminate at the base ; both the secondary and marginal 

 nerves prominent. Calyx-tube saucer-shaped at the time of flowering, limb truncate 

 even in the bud. Disc flat, prominently rayed, Berry $ in. diam. or more, areola 

 in. wide, somewhat prominent, disc much depressed.

17. 1KC. IVZaing'ayi, C. B. Clarke ; leaves 8 in. subsessile oblong-lanceo- 

 late rounded or subcordate at the base secondary and marginal nerves promi- 

 nent, cymes clustered axillary, peduncles and pedicels about in. stout, flowers 

 very large, buds obtuse, calyx-tube at the time of flowering campanulate limb 

 truncate disc somewhat convex very prominently rayed. 



MALACCA; Maingay No, 814. 



The finest species of the genus, the flowers being far larger than in any other spe- 

 cies, the calyx-tube in bud nearly in. wide. Maingay's example does not show fruit, 

 but from the size of the flower it may be presumed that it would be large. 



18. BK. microstomum, C. B. Clarke ; leaves 5 in. sessile ovate or ob- 

 long subobtuse cordate at the base opaque, flowers small densely clustered axil- 

 lary, berry nearly % in. diam., calyx-limb 0, areola scarcely ^ in. dia^ji.

A small tree (Maingay). Leaves thick, subamplexicaul, marginal nerves obscure, 

 secondary visible. Pedicels less than i in., slender. Buds obtuse ; calyx-tube 

 funnel-shaped at^he time of flowering, rays of the disc very obscure.

Flowers in close umbels at the summits of the ultimate branches of the panicle. 

 Differs from M. paniculatum, Jack, in the much smaller and thicker leaves.
