Youngest shoots fulvous-tomentose. Leaves 57 in., with long slender tips, 

 greenish when dry, glabrous above, base eglaudular ; nerves 8-10 pair above tho

 terete. Racemes axillary, shorter than the leaves; bracts minute; flowers 10-20 in 

 a cluster; buds T \y in. long; sepals usually 3, membranous, very sparsely stellately 

 hairy and glandular; stamens 60-70; anther-cells globose, separated by the con- 

 nective which is not produced. Differs from M. Helferi in the much larger leaves 

 and flowers and very numerous stamens.

 than the leaves, clusters few-fld., bracts lanceolate longer than the ovoid 

 buds both densely subsilkily tomentose.

Brancldets compressed when dry. Leaves 5-7 by 2-3 in., very thin in texture, 

 glabrous on both surfaces, with no pellucid glands, dull greenish when dry, base 

 narrow with obscure glandular areas ; nerves 6-9 pairs above the basal, slender 

 but strong beneath, cross-nervules distinct distant ; petiole 1-1 -g- in.; stipules ovate 

 lanceolate, pubescent. Male racemes 2-3 in. ; bracts lanceolate, buds fulvous tomen- 

 tose -jL in. long ; sepals 3, ovate ; stamens 30-40, anther-cells globose separated by 

 a broad sometimes pi oduced connective. 



b. Leaves penninerved, not or very obscurely 3-plinerved. 



25. DX. anisophyllus, HooJc. f. sparsely pubescent, leaves subsessile 

 opposite in very unequal pairs penninerved eglandular beneath, larger of 

 each pair 6-8 in. elliptic lanceolate or oblanceolate acuminate smaller 

 orbicular-ovate or -cordate, racemes very short few-fid., sepals of both sexes 

 3 lanceolate, ovary spinescent, styles elongate subplumose, capsule 

 rauricate. 



MALACCA, Maingay (Kew Distrib. 1413). DISTEIB. Borneo (Motley). 



Branches terete woody, branchlets compressed simply hairy. Leaves rather thin, 

 red brown and rather shining when dry, sometimes subfalcate, entire or subsinuate- 

 toothed, glabrous or sparsely hairy on the midrib beneath, base very contracted but 

 rounded; nerves 10-15 pair, cross-nervules very slender; petiole very short, stoat, 

 densely velvety-tomentose ; stipules % in., subulate-lanceolate, rigid, persistent. 

 Male racemes ^-1 in., filiform, bracts minute, flowers ^ in. diam., on slender pedicels ; 

 sepals membranous, glabrous ; stamens 15-20, connective broad fleshy carunculate. 

 Fem.fl. few, on very short racemes ; sepals pubescent ; ovary clothed with appressed 

 erect hispidulous spines; st^le ; stigmas very long, slender, almost feathery nearly 

 all over. Main gay describes the male perianth as unequally 2-cleft. 



26. HI. muricatus, Beddome Forester s Man. 208 (not ofMuell. Aro.) ; 

 quite glabrous, leaves opposite shortly petioled penninerved rhombic- 

 lanceolate obtuse or obtusely narrowed at both ends entire or sinuate-toothed 

 minutely glandular beneath nerves 6-8 pairs, male racemes and buds 

 glabrous slightly glandular, males short, fern, elongate, ovary with a few 

 conical glabrous tubercles, capsule tridymous, cocci with two rows of 

 tubercles. Claoxylon muricatum, Wight Ic. 1886. Croton muricatum,
