This species has the flowers of both sexes alike. The carpels of this species are 
much larger than those of S. Buraho/, Bl.; and its leaves are more thickly coriaceous 
and shining, the nerves and midrib being much more depressed on the upper, and 
prominent on the lower, surface.

3. SreLecnocarpus Buranot, H. f. §& T. Fl. Ind. 94. A tree 20 to 60 feet high ; 
young branches slender, dark-coloured, glabrous. Leaves thinly coriaceous, oblong- 
lanceolate, acute or very shortly acuminate, the base cuneate; both surfaces glabrous, 
shining, the reticulations minute and distinct, the lower with minute black dots, the 
upper with very minute scales; main nerves 10 to 12 pairs, sub-ascending, prominent, 
inter-arching *2 in. within the margin; length of blade 5 to 8 in.; breadth 1°75 to 
2°75 in.; petiole *3 to ‘9 in. Male flowers much smaller than the female (only about 
‘4 in. in diam.), in fascicles of 8 to 16 from minutely bracteolate woody tubercles from 
the branches and trunk, pedicellate ; the pedicels slender, ebracteolate, tomentose, from 
*5 to ‘75 in. long. Sepals coriaceous, triangular, spreading. Petals much longer than the 
sepals, oblong, sub-acute, warted, pubescent inside ; anthers with obtuse, terminal, dilated, 
2-lobed apical appendages from the connective; ovaries 0. Female flowers three times as 
large as the males, and on similar pedicels ;. calyx not persistent ; corolla as in the male. 
Ovaries numerous, On an ovoid-conic torus, oval or obovate; the outer surface compressed, 
the inner with a vertical ridge, and adpressed pale hairs ; stigma sessile, minutely lobed.
