tiibe, narrow; corolla-lobes whiter than the tube. Capsules very numerous, 3 in., 

 fusiform, beaked, shorter than the slender pedicels, nearly glabrous. One sheet of 

 Wallich's 6107 is U. Gambler, Koxb., another is U. ovata.

 finely acuminate slightly hairy above softly so beneath, stipules 2-partite, 

 peduncles all axillary short bracteate in the middle, calyx-lobes long linear,

PENANG, Wallicli, Phillips. DISTRIB. Sumatra, Malay Islands. 



Slender. Leaves 3-4 by l|-2 in., membranous, yellow-brown, opaque above when 

 dry with scattered hairs or glabrate, paler beneath with soft appressed hairs, base 

 acute or rounded ; nerves 6 pair, very distinct, obliquely arching, transverse nerves 

 very slender ; petiole in. ; stipular segments ovate-oblong, recurved, quite glabrous. 

 Peduncles |-J in., narrowed from the base ; bracts 4, slender, recurved. Heads f in. 

 diam., in fruit 2 in. ; receptacle very small and pedicels slightly hairy ; calyx-lobes 

 longer than the tube. Capsules fusiform, ^ in., glabrous, on filiform pedicels twice 

 their length, acute, hardly beaked. I have seen no corollas. Wallich describes the 

 tube as capillary, smooth, and the lobes as a little hairy.

SINGAPORE, Lobb (n. 332). 



Slender, very glabrous. Leaves 3-3^ by l-lf in., green when dry, shining above, 

 almost so beneath ; nerves slender, arching upwards, with minute axillary tufts and a 

 few scattered hairs ; petiole slender, in. ; stipules membranous, reflexed. Peduncles 

 narrowed from the base, shining; bracts 6, large, ovate, acuminate, membranous, 

 reflexed. Heads 1 in. ; flowers sessile. 



19. U. ferrea, DC. Prodr. iv. 348 ; branches subterete, peduncles and 

 petioles and leaves beneath densely tomentose or villous, leaves short-petioled 

 ovate or elliptic-ovate obtusely acuminate with scattered hairs and tomentose 

 on the 8-9 pair of nerves above, stipules 2-fid and large bracts tomentose, 

 peduncles all axillary bracteate above the middle, calyx hirsute, lobes very 

 long filiform, corolla glabrous, capsules slender long-pedicelled. Nauclea ferrea,

Rather robust and very hairy. Leaves 3-4 by 2-2^ in., rather coriaceous, rusty- 

 brown above when dry, paler beneath, base rounded, nerves strong spreading, trans- 

 verse ones distinct; petiole in.; stipules broad, recurved. Peduncles 1-1 J in., 

 narrowed upwards; bracts 4-6, nearly \ in., ovate, acuminate. Heads 2 in. diam., 

 fruiting not much larger ; flowers subsessile ; calyx-tube much shorter than the lobes. 

 Capsules % in., fusiform, shorter than the pedicels, acuminate, hairy. U. Horsfaldiana, 

 Miq., is a variety with leaves less hairy beneath. Cuming's 1128, from the Philip- 

 pines, is a closely allied species with much smaller bracts and stipules.
