glabratis. Petioli l" longi. Folia dura, 8-10" longa, venis cum costa fere rectangulum formantibus, 
basi rotundata v. obscure cordata, apicibus obtusis. Pedunculi 2" longi, crassi, 3-4-flori. Calyx

Hab. Labuan, in ora septentrionali insulae Borneo, Motley (85). 
1. Anisoptera ? melaxoxylon (H. f.) ; ramulis teretibus glabris, foliis ovatis oblongisve 
apice angustato obtuso basi rotundata utrinque glabris, venis inconspicuis, paniculis 
folio brevioribns paucifloris, pednnculis pedicellis calycibusque dense fulvo-tomen- 
tosis, staminibus snb 12, connectivo apice breviter uncinato, stylo gracili. 
Hab. Borneo septentrionali, in insula Labuan, Motley. Norn. vern. "Rapak." 
Rami teretes, crass, pennae anserinae. Folia coriacea, 3" longa, petiolo ^-§" longo, utrinque glaberrima, 
supra vix lucida, subtus venis primariis tenuibus. Inflorescentia Elceocarpo subsimilis. Flores nutantes, 
£" expansi, pedicellis gracilibus. Sepala lanceolata, dense tomentosa. Petala oblonga, basi contracta 
(non imbricantia). Stamina brevia, filamentis brevibus late triangularibus, antheris oblongis. Fructus 
globosus, basi calycis tubo cinctus, stellato-tomentosus, ^" diametro. Calycis fructiferi lobis omnibus 
accrescentibus stellato-pubescentibus, duobus maximis lineari-oblongis, 2 n longis, f " latis, 3-nervns, 
pubescentibus, apicibus obtusis, caeteris y longis lineari-lanceolatis. 
This plant differs from Anisoptera in the short hooked apex to the anther, and slender 
style, and from Hopea in the petals not imbricating at the base. Motley describes it as 
being a second-class tree. Trunk almost invariably divided at a great height into two 
heads. Bark scaly, studded with tears of clear yellow resin. Sap-wood thin and white. 
Duramen, first yellow ; when seasoned, black ; bitter, and when chewed yielding flakes ot 
white resinous substance; easily worked and taking a beautiful polish. Next to the 
Dryobalanops, this is perhaps the most valuable wood in Labuan.
