 Mnlay Islands. 



A large spreading tree. Leaves 4-7 in. ; nerves about 4-6 pairs, not very pro- 

 minent, reticulations distinct ; both surfaces (but especially the upper) minutely 

 tuberculate ; petiole -1 in. ; stipules ovate-lanceolate, pubescent, -f in. Male fl. 

 numerous, scattered ; pedicels long, thin ; sepals about 2, concave ; anther elongate, 

 elliptic, sessile. Gall and fern. fl. alike; ovary ovoid or elliptic; style long, lateral ; 

 stigma oblique, infundibuliform ; achene tubercled and viscid ; gall fl. sometimes 

 pedicelled. Liunseus quoted figures of several different plants for his F. indica, and 

 the retention of that name for this species in particular is therefore quite arbitrary. 

 It might be better to abandon the name. 



27. F. acamptophylla, Miq. Ann. J\fus. iii. 264, 287 ; branchlets 

 thinly covered with rufous scurf tips pubescent, leaves thickly coriaceous 

 glabrous subobovate oblong or elliptic shortly obtusely cuspidate margin 

 entire thickened subrevolute, base narrowed 3-nerved, receptacles numerous 

 crowded in pairs towards the extremities of the branches turbinate apex 

 much flattened, umbilical scales large smooth ripe yellow in. diam., 

 basal bracts 3 large ovate-rotund puberulous. King Fie. 40, t. 46, 83 d .

PERAK, Kunstler. DISTRIB. Banka. 



A large tree, young epiphytal. Leaves 2-4 in. ; nerves 3-6 pairs, not much 

 more prominent than the secondary, reticulations obscure ; petiole f-f in. ; stipules 

 ovate, acute, silky pubescent, about \ in. Male fl. scattered; pedicels long, thin ; 

 sepals 2 or 3, concave; anther elongate, sessile. Q-all and fern. fl. similar; sepals 3, 

 obtuse ; style elongate ; stigma slightly infundibuliform ; acheue tuberculate. 



28. P. truncata, King; young parts and especially the leaves 

 beneath thinly covered with brown deciduous powder and a few minute 

 hairs, ultimately all parts glabrous, leaves coriaceous crowded short-petioled 

 obovate or cuneate-oblong top broad obtuse sometimes truncate entire, base 

 much narrowed strongly 3-nerved, receptacles much crowded near the 

 apices of the branches sessile in axillary pairs depressed-spheroidal reddish- 

 yellow smooth - i in. diam., apical scales broad flat shining surrounded by 

 a ring, basal bracts 3 large free ovate-rotund. King Fie. 41, t. 48, 83 f ;

I'ERAK, Munfitler. DISTRIB. Java, Borneo. 



A small tree. Leaves' 2-4^in. ; nerves about 5 pairs, very prominent beneath, 

 as nre the reticulations ; petiole ^-^ in.; stipules lanceolate, about \ in. Malefl. 

 t'e\v, only near the apex of receptacle, sessile ; sepals 3, broad, longer than the single 

 ovatv, ^gittate, subsessile anther. Q-all and fern. fl. sessile; sepals 4 or 5, small, 

 ovate fnovary pf galls oveid-acummate, with long straight terminal style; achene 

 ovate>rotund, tubercled; style subterminal, bent at right angles.

 rounded obtuse or very slightly and obtusely apiculate, margins 'entire 

 slightly undulate, base acute faintly 3-nerved, receptacles rather crowded 

 in axillary pairs sessile chiefly at the scars of fallen leaves globose sub- 

 trigonous apex depressed yellowish when ripe and dotted, basal bracts 3
