breadth 1:75 in, (jide Scortechini, length 3 to 7 im., breadth 2 to 3 in.) Cymes short 
from the axils of leaves or of fallen leaves, few-flowered, shortly pedunculate. Flowers 
1 to 1:25 in. long; pedicels under 1 in., pale-pubescent with a narrow, ovate, obtuse, 
mesial bracteole -25 in. long. Sepals united at the base, ovate, sub-acute, recurved, 
minutely yellowish-pubescent, *35 in. long. Petals sub-equal, linear-obtuse, 1 to 1:25 in, 
long; the claw short, thickened, pubescent on both surfaces like the sepals. Stamens 
numerous; the connective with an apical process which is bulbous at the base and 
suddenly tapers into a sharp point. Ovaries numerous, cohermg into a mass, oblong, 
glabrous except at the pubescent base, with 6 or 8 ovules in two rows; stigma sessile, 
truncate. Ripe carpels unknown. 
Perak,—Scortechini. 
Scortechini’s specimens are in-bud only and none of them has any fruit. The 
foregoing description has been prepared partly from his notes and partly from his 
specimens. The species differs from C. odoratum in having smaller leaves, a different 
inflorescence, with smaller and quite inodorous flowers. It is also a smaller tree. —
