Burmah to Penang, 
An imperfectly known species, badly represented in collections. 
PuaTE 34. Sagereea elliptica, H. f. §& Th. 1, Leaf-twig; 2, flowering branch; 
3, ripe carpel—of natural size; 4, flower dissected; 5, anther—en/arged. 
2. Sacer#a Lisrert, King n. sp. <A tree with pale, fibrous, deciduous bark ; young 
branches rather slender, aie all parts, except the flower and ripe fruit, glabrous. 
Leaves coriaceous, elliptic-oblong to elliptic, shortly acuminate, the base cuneate or 
rounded ; upper surface shining; the lower dull, darker than the upper when dry; main 
nerves 6 to 8 pairs, curved, spreading, very faint; length 3°75 to 5°5 in., breadth 1-5 to 
2°5 in.; petiole ‘4 in. Flowers sub-globular, solitary, axillary, sessile, ‘3 in. in diam.; 
bract close to flower, sub-orbicular, pubescent outside. Sepals much imbricate, very 
concave, orbicular, whitish, pubescent outside, glabrous inside, ‘15 in. in diam. Peéals 
like the sepals, but larger and more densely pubescent outside; the inner row rather 
smaller than the outer. Stamens 9, the connective broad, flattened, not produced at 
the apex; anther-cells lateral, extrorse. Ovaries (not seen). ipe carpels broadly ovoid, 
narrowed to the base, minutely pubescent, 1 in. long. Seeds about 12, in two rows, 
flattened. 
Chittagong Hill Tracts,—Lister, Heinig. 
This closely resembles S. edliptica, but has smaller leaves with fewer nerves and 
fewer stamens; while the carpels are ovoid, not globose. Its timber is said to be of 
excellent quality. 
Puate 385A. Sagerea Listeri, King. 1, Flowering branch; 2, ripe carpel—of natural 
size; 3, flower dissected—slightly enlarged; 4, flower-bud—much enlarged. 
3. Sacer#a Tuwarrest, Hook. fil. § Thoms. Fl. Ind. 93. A glabrous tree; young 
branches rather stout, dark-coloured. Leaves coriaceous, elliptic to elliptic-oblong, the 
_ base sub-cuneate, rarely rounded; both surfaces faintly reticulate; main nerves 10 to 
12 pairs, spreading, very faint; engi 5°) to 14 in., breadth 2°35 to 3-75 in. ; petiole 
*) in., channelled. Flowers. teeta) *6 to ‘75 im. in diam., sub-globular, pales orange, 
fascicled on the larger branches; pedicels -75 to 1 in. long with several bracteoles 
at the base. Sepuls ovate-orbicular, sub-acute, glabrous; outer vetuls larger than the 
sepals and than the inner petals. Stamens about 24; the anthers large, dorsal; the 
connective transversely elongate and truncate at the apex. Ovuries 3, glabrous, Ritcne: 
ovoid, about 7-ovuled; style very short; stigma grooved. Ripe carpels globose, smooth, 
‘75 in. in diam.; stalks ‘15 in, Seeds compressed, broadly grooved. Thwaites’ Enum. 6;
