of stout nerves ; petiole 4-7 in. ; stipules broad. Male panicles longer than the 

 leaves ; bracts % in. long, broadly ovate, finely rusty- tomentose ; flowers -^ in. diam. ; 

 sepals 3, membranous, papillose ; filament stout ; anther 4-locellace. Fern, panicles 

 shorter ; calyx cupular, toothed ; ovary glabrous ; styles subulate. Capsule in. 

 diam., rather depressed. Seeds impressed-punctate. Mueller describes the fern. fl. 

 as sometimes diandrous, no doubt an oversight for the male. I have not seen the 

 stipules, which .are deciduous in my specimens. 



11. M. megralophylla, Muell. Arg. in DC. Prodr. xv. ii. 995; 

 branches petioles leaves beneath and panicles densely rusty pubescent or 

 tomentose, leaves very large and coriaceous broadly peltate orbicular-ovate 

 obtusely 3-lobed rugose and reticulately nerved beneath, lobes short rounded or 

 obsolete, male and fern, panicles much branched peduncled, floral bracts of 

 m ale broad pectinately toothed, stamens 1-3, ovary 2 -celled, styles very short 

 united at the base, capsules didymous glandular. M. rugosa, Muell. I. c.

MALACCA, Griffith. PEEAK, at Goping, King's Collector. DISTRIB. Borneo. 



A tree, 40 ft. in Goping; branches woody but with large pith, puberulous. 

 Leaves 12-18 in. long, above pubescent when young, when old glabrous except the 

 nerves, truncate or cordate at the eglandular base above, beneath dark brown with 

 5-6 pairs of strong nerves cross-nervules and close deep reticulations concealing the 

 glands ; lobes entire, toothed or sinuately lobulate ; petiole 1-2 ft., hoary, very stout ; 

 stipules very large, oblong, erect. Male panicles 6-10 in., branches rather slender ; 

 floral bracts - in., rhomboid, eglandular; flowers ^ in. diam., tomentose j sepals 

 3, ovate; stamens short; anthers 4-locellate. Fern, panicles broad: sepals 4. 

 Capsules $ in. diam. ; cocci globose, crustaceous, puberulous, and glandular. Seeds 

 subcompressed globose, testa uneven thick. Probably this does not differ from the 

 M. gigantea, Muell., of Sumatra. 



12. IH. Maing-ayi, .Hook, f.; branches glaucous and petioles and 

 main branches of panicles glabrous, leaves broadly peltate very coriaceous 

 rounded or broader than long in outline 3-lobed to or above the middle 

 beneath rusty-tomentose and closely deeply reticulate, lobes short divergent 

 acuminate, male panicles subsessile much branched, floral bracts brown- 

 torn entose broadly ovate acuminate deeply serrate, sepals 2-4 concave 

 densely tomentose, stamens 2. 



MALACCA, Maingay (Kew Distrib. 1391). PEEAK, King's Collector. 



A tree, 30-40 ft. in Perak ; branches glabrous to the tips. Leaves 5-7 in. diam., 

 dark brown when dry and glabrous, when young rustily hoary above and eglandular at 

 the rounded concave base ; lobes broad, entire or obscurely toothed, beneath finely 

 densely tomentose on the nerves and nervules which are so close that the glands are 

 obliterated ; petiole 3-4 in. ; stipules very broad, membranous, spreading, not 

 recurved, deciduous. Male panicles 6 in. long and almost as broad, branches 

 spreading and rachis slender ; floral bracts -n> in. long, 5 6-fld., those at the axils 

 longer more acute entire; flowers - in. diam.; sepals rounded, glandular and 

 tomentose. 



13. M. Hosei, King in Serb. Calcutt. ; branches glaucous and petioles 

 and branches of panicle glabrous, leaves peltate or deeply cordate at the 

 base coriaceous broader than long 3-lobed to or below the middle puberulous 

 beneath and hairy on the nerves, lobes broad divergent cuspidate, male 

 panicle very long-peduncled, bracts tomentose pectinately-toothed, fern, 

 panicle much shorter, bracts entire, ovary 1-2-celled waxy glabrous, styles 

 very short.
