with more oblique nerves, and the inflexed anthers are confined to the upper part of 

 an obconic stipes, as in Try a. It is probably one of the species described by Roxburgh 

 in terms too brief to be of any use in identifying the plants intended. 



* Anthers produced to the base of the column or not, cells more or 

 less free, easily separable.

A tall tree, young parts pubescent ; branches stout, grey. Leaves extremely 

 variable in size, form and texture, nerves faint or strong; petiole |-| in. Hale 

 panicles 3-8 in., rather slender, branched from the base ; flowers fascicled, perianth 

 | in. ; am hers 7-11, narrow, connectives attached behind and from the base to about 

 the middle only, so that the anthers are easily detached by dissection. Female 

 panicles 6-10-fld. Fruit 1-1 in., subglobose, glabrous, aril lacerate. This species 

 is founded on Wallich's Singapore fruiting specimen ; the identity in foliage of those 

 and a Malaccan plant of Griffith with small flowers suggested their union in the 

 ' Flora Indica." As stated under M. Griffithii, there are specimens of that plant as 

 like Wallich's type in foliage. In the " Flora Indica " the anthers are described as 

 having involute tips, but this is not the case. Alph. DC. separates the Malayan 

 specimens from the Deccan ones on characters taken from the foliage, but the leaves 

 vary greatly in both countries, and identical forms are common to both.

 pubescent, perianth 3 ' in. glabrous usually 2-fid, anthers 3-5 in a depressed 

 ring, cells separable. Alph. DC. in Prodr. xiv. 1. 204. M. Horsfieldia,
