This plant is identified by King (Mat. Fl. Mai. Pen. i. 295) 

 with U. longiflora, Roxb., a native of Assam and Chittagong. 

 His description in this article and the description and figure in 

 the 'Annals of the Calcutta Garden,' vol. iv. i. p. 58, pi. 80, 

 do nojt apply to the Perak plant, which appears to me to be a 

 very distinct species. It differs in its very much longer and 

 more slender pedicels, which in U. longiflora vary from iJ-8 

 inches in length and are much stouter; in its petals, which are 

 much narrower, narrowing rather abruptly from a broader base 

 into a long filiform point, whereas in U. longiflora they are 

 gradually narrowed and linear lanceolate, much broader and 

 only 9 cm. long or little more ; in the carpels, which in 

 U. longiflora are often moniliform, with the joints elongate and 

 much longer in proportion to their breadth than in U.filipes. 



4. POLYALTHIA MONTANA, i?«^/., n. Sp. [288]. 



Arbor ramis tenuibus, cortice nigro, partibus junioribus 

 pilis flavescentibus appressis tectis. Folia lanceolata, 

 acuminata, apicibus obtusis, basibus brevius acuminatis, 

 coriacea, nitida, subtus pallidiora, glabra, 15 cm. longa, 45 

 mm. lata, nervorum paribus 8, reticulationibus conspicuis 

 tenuibus, petiolis pubescentibus 5 mm. longis. Florcs extra- 

 axillares, singuli, i cm. lati, pedicellis i cm. longis. Sepala 

 parva, ovata, hirta. Petala oblonga, ovata, extus hirta,''intus 

 glabra, obtnsa, serie externa quam interiore breviore. Stamina 

 oblonga, connectivo subelliptico, apice canaliculato antheram 

 vix tegente. Ovaria pauca, oblonga, hirta, stigmatibus glabris. 

 Ovuluin singulum. Carpella matura ellipsoidea, hirta vel pilis 

 dejectis pustulata, i cm. longa, stipitibus 3 mm. longis. 



Distrih. Ulu Langat (C. B. Kloss). 



Nearest to P. dutnosa, King, but differing in the venation 

 of the leaves, the petals hairy outside and glabrous within, the 

 connective or appendage of the stamen smaller, somewhat 

 oblong, grooved along the top, and in the form of the fruit. 

 Most of the flowers on the specimens appear to be unisexual 

 and male, having no pistils. The petals appear to have been 

 purple.
