PENANG ; at Muka Head, Curtis. DISTEIB. Java. 



This accords so well in habit and foliage with Blume's figure and description of 

 E. serrata, that I would have referred it without doubt to that plant, but that he 

 describes the style as short and thick, whereas, as far as I can make out, it is rather 

 long and hairy in the Penang plant. It is possibly a state of the following, but I 

 have seen no male fl. 



6. E. nudiflora. Hook. f. Ic. Plant, ined. ; branchlets petioles and 

 leaves beneath glandular, leaflets 2-6 pairs 1-1 1 in. subsessile coriaceous 

 elliptic- oblong or cuneate-obovate obtuse often oblique entire or subcrenate, 

 bract of male fl. laciniate with slender antheriferous arms, anthers ellipsoid, 

 fruiting raceme 4-6 in., style long hairy. 



PENANG; on Government Hill, Maingay (Kew Distrib. 1510). 



A very large tree (Maingay). Leaves 35 in., nerves 68 pairs, strong beneath. 

 Fruiting racemes like those of E. spicata, but -nuts smaller. This very much re- 

 sembles Blume's figure and description of E. rigida, but he describes the bract of the 

 male fl. as thick and the anther as ovate-cordate. 



ORDER CXXXVIIL METRIC ACE JE. 



Glandular and aromatic trees or shrubs. Leaves alternate ; stipules 0. 

 Flowers unisexual, in cylindric bracteate catkin-like spikes ; male spikes 

 solitary fascicled or panicled, and with sometimes fern. fl. at the top ; fern, 

 spikes axillary, bracts 1-4-fld. MALE FL. Stamens 3-6, rarely more, on a 

 torus adnate to the bract, filaments short free or connate, anthers erect, 

 2-celled. FEM. FL. A 2-4-bracteolate sessile 1-celled ovary ; style 2-fid, 

 stigmatose inwardly; ovule 1, erect, orthotropous. Drupe ovoid or globose, 

 resinous succulent or waxy, endocarp hard. Seed erect, testa mem- 

 branous, albumen ; embryo straight, cotyledons plano-convex, radicle

SUBTEOPICAL HIMALAYA, from the Kavi eastwards, alt. 3-6000 ft. The KHASIA 

 MTS., SILHET, and southwards to SINGAPORE. DISTEIB. Malay Islands, China, 

 Japan. 



An evergreen dioecious tree, branchlets pubescent. Leaves 3-7 in., with resinous 

 glands beneath. Fruit the size of a small or large cherry, flesh formed of red spindle- 

 shaped fibres radiating from the rugose nut. No doubt M. javanica, Illume, and 

 longifolia and Loblii, Teysm. and Binnend., are other forms of this very common and 

 variable shrub.
