nerves, six pairs, elevate beneath, anastomosing witliin tiie 

 margin, depressed on the upper surface, nervules cons- 

 picuous, 6-18 cm. long, 4-2 cm. wide, petiole 1.5 cm. long. 

 Racemes axillary, 0.5 cm. long, with very small rounded 

 persistent bracts, peduncles 1 cm. long. Buds globose, 

 0.2 cm. long. Bracts rounded, semicircular. Flowei-s, six 

 or more in a capitulum on hairy pedicels. Male flowers, 

 perianth lobes, six, glabrous except for a few hairs on the 

 base outside, oblong obovate, gland-dotted on both sides, 

 apex rounded. Stamens nine, six paddle-shaped with flat 

 linear filaments and broader anthers, the two cells distant

 Female flowers and fi'uit not seen. 



Also collected by myself at the Sempan Mines, Selangor, 4,000 

 feet. Tliis is undoubtedly closely allied to L. malaccensis, 

 Hookei' fil., a common lowland tree from Singapore, 

 northwards to Perak, but it differs in its thinner leaves, 

 glaucous beneatli, oblong rounded petals and longer racemes. 

 L. malaccensis seems confined to edges of woods in the 

 low country and I have never seen it in the hills. 



The specimens with larger and thinner leaves refeiTed to by 

 Gamble in the " Materials for a Flora of the Malay Peninsula," 

 Nos. 3,373 and 4,704, and from the Dalvey Road, Singapore, 

 are merely from yoUnger trees or younger branches of older 

 trees as the character of- the foliage differs somewhat in 

 the same tree.
