Borneo, — Motley, De Vriese, Teysmann. 



I have seen no fertile female flowers in this so-called species, which is possibly only 



a form of diversifoiia, Bl. 



The affinities of this are, in my opinion, with diversifoiia and lutcscens, rather than with 



pyriformis near which Miquel places it.

A shrub. The leaves in bud, and the apices of the young petioles adpressed-pubescent ; the 

 adult-parts all perfectly glabrous. Leaves membranous, petiolate, lanceolate, oblanceolate or 

 ovate-lanceolate ; narrowed below to the cuneate, 3-nerved base ; the apex acuminate or 

 cuspidate ; the edges quite entire ; primary lateral nerves 3 to 5 pairs ; secondary nervation 

 subhorizontal ; reticulations minute, distinct on the lower surface; both surfaces quite 

 glabrous, the lower often slightly asperulous; petioles slender, -6 to 1 in. long; stipules 

 lanceolate, convolute, glabrous (pubescent when very young), from '2 to -4 in. long. 



Receptacles sessile or very shortly pedunculate, in pairs in the axils of the leaves or of the 

 scars of fallen leaves, often crowded, globular; umbonate when young; when ripe smooth, 

 yellow, and about -25 in. across; basal bracts 3, minute; peduncles when present about -1 in 



long, glabrous. Male flowers numerous near the mouth of the receptacles con aim ng ga 1 



flowers, sessile, clavate ; the perianth of 3 spathulate distinct pieces ; stamens 2, the filaments 

 very short. Gall flowers pedicellate; the perianth of 4 narrow lanceolate pieces; ovary 

 smooth, sub-globular, with short lateral style and tubular stigma. Fertile female flowers m 

 separate receptacles, pedicellate; the perianth of 3 distinct spathulate pieces; the achene 

 ovoid, rugose, with a thickened margin ; style sub-terminal ; st.gma cyl.nd-

A small broad-leaved form of this was issued as a species by Walhch under the 

 name of torulosa. It may be kept up as a variety.
