 , A very fine addition to the Flora of the Malay Peninsula, the only 

 other known species, P. euryoides, Gardn. & Champ., being a 

 native of Hongkong. Specimens of obviously the same species 

 were some years ago brought by Mr. Barnes from K'luang Terbaug 

 in Pahang (Journ. Roy. As. Soc, Straits Branch, xxxix. (1903) 

 1-18). These specimens were in fruit, and the description of the 

 fruit is taken from them. P. malayana differs from P. euryoides 

 in its smaller, more thickly coriaceous, blunt leaves, and its shorter 

 and thicker flower- spikes.
