 glabrous, polished above, midrib thick on the back of the leaf, 

 nerves very numerous, fine, and indistinct, 4 to 5 inches long, 

 if to 2 J inches wide. Flowers not seen, fruits in short racemes 

 on persistent thick peduncles, below the leaves very numerous. 

 Pedicels 4-angled, \ inch long. Sepals 5, ovate, eglanduhir. 

 Drupe globose, ^ inch long, about 5 fruits on a peduncle^ inch 

 long, with small ovate bracts. 



Common on the Padang, In dry open places the stems 

 are thicker, the leaves shorter, rounded at the base, and more 

 coriaceous. 



I have seen no specimen of the type, but I suppose from 

 the description this plant is what is intended by M. perakensis.
