linear-oblong, sub-acute, slightly narrowed at the. base, adpressed-pubescent externally, 
glabrous within, 2 to. 3 in. long. Anthers numerous, short, compressed ; connective 
with broad, flat, apical, truncate process. Pis¢i/s oblong, pubescent ; ; stigma large, sub-

Apparently not a common | species. Maingay’s specimens from Malacca have rather 
larger and smoother leaves than those from Singapore and Penang.

35. PotyaurHta pacuypuytia, King in Journ, As, Soc. Bengal 61, pt. 2, 66. A tree 
50 to 100 feet high ; young branches softly pubescent, afterwards glabrous and furrowed. 
Leaves rigidly coriaceous, elliptic-oblong, sub-acute ; the edge slightly recurved, the base 
broad and rounded, or narrowed and sub-acute; both surfaces glabrous; the lower 
slightly paler, the midrib tomentose at the base beneath; main nerves 11 or 12 pairs, 
spreading, prominent, evanescent at the tips; length 4°5 to 7°5 in., breadth 1°75 to 3°5 
in.; petiole -35 to *5 in., tomentose when young. Flowers about 1°5 in, long, in few- 
flowered fascicles from small tubercles on the older branches; their pedicels 2 in. long, 
bracteolate about the middle, softly tawny-tomentose. Sepals broadly half-orbicular, | 
very short, reflexed, tomentose, Petals coriaceous, nerved, pale green, oblong-lanceolate 
or oblanceolate, sub-acute or obtuse, pubescent on the outer, tomentose on the inner, 
surface ; the outer slightly shorter and narrower than the inner, from °9 to 1°5 in. 
long and °3 to ‘5 in. broad. Stamens numerous, compressed ; the apical process of 
the connective truncate ; anthers linear, dorsal. Ovaries numerous, glabrous, vertically 
striate ; stigma sessile, truncate, puberulous. Ripe carpels numerous, crowded when 
Sins densely covered with minute pale tomentum ; when ripe narrowly obovoid, blunt, 
narrowed to a short stalk, sub-tomentose, 1°75 in. long and. about 1 in. in: diam. ; 
pericarp thick, fleshy. Seeds 2, plano-convex.
