usually a more slender petiole, the male flowers are larger and more racemose, i.e. 

 longer pedicelled, and the common peduncle is longer ; the females also are longer 

 pedfeelied, and have longer bracts, the stigma is very obscurely lobed, not stellately 

 rayed as in Lobbiana. The female flowers of the Tenasserim specimens have vevy 

 minute imperfect anthers, those of Borneo, as figured by Blume, have perfect ones. 

 The Malaccan plant of Cuming described by A. De Candolle as H. philippinensis, 

 is from Malacca ; it has very slender male racemes, and may be Blume's H. spicata, 

 which according to De Caudolle differs in the 6-merous perianth (a character of no 

 value) and glandular flowers. My Borneau specimens of varians are very insufficient. 

 Maingay's has leaves 4 by 2-3 in. 



5. H. buxifolia, Blume Mus. Bot. Lugd. Bat. i. 244; branches 

 smooth terete spreading and twining, flowers minute bisexual on short 

 simple pedicels or sessile on branched few-fld. very short peduncles which 

 are 2-4-bracteate under the flower, fruit minute globose 4-6-furrowed and 

 rugose, stigma discoid lobed subsessile. A. DC. Prodr. xiv. 631. Dendro-

Habit of H. Lobbiana, but the flowers are in much shorter branched peduncles, 

 apparently all hermaphrodite, with very small lobes, the fruit is not | in. diarn., and 

 the stigma more shortly lobed. Griffith describes the ovules as 5.
