160 DR. J. D. HOOKER ON THE FLORAS OF MALAYA 



3. D. Lowii (H. f.) ; ramulis crassis crebre annulatis ultimis velutino-tomentosis, foliis 

 coriaceis ovatis integerrimis transverse undulatis, petiolo erasso, costa yenisque 

 subtus prominentibus dense tomentosis, pedunculo brevi erasso falyo lanato, calyce 

 dense tomentoso tetraptero, alis undulato-erispatis. 



Hab. In oi'a septentrionali ins. Borneo, Low. Nom. vern. " Kaga kruning." 



Rannili ob stipulas delapsas annulati, crassit. digiti majoris, intei-nodiis ^-f" longis, ultimis demum 

 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 

 l' longus. Corolla dense tomentosa. 



1. Drtobalanops aromatic a, Gaertn. fil. 



Hab. Labuan, in ora septenti'ionali insulee Borneo, Motley (85). 



1. Anisoptera ? MELANOXYLON (H. f.) ; ramulis teretibns glabris, foliis ovatis oblongisve 

 apice angustato obtnso basi rotundata utrinque glabris, venis inconspicnis, paniculis 

 folio brevioribus paucifloris, pedunculis pedicellis calycibusque dense fulvo-tomen- 

 tosis, staminibus sub 12, connectivo apice breviter uncinate, stylo gracili. 



Hab. Borneo septentrionali, in insula Labuan, Motley. Nom. vern. "Rapak." 



Rami teretes, crass, penna; anserinse. Folia coriacea, 3" longa, petiolo i-|" longo, utrinque glaberrima, 

 supra vix lucida, subtus venis primariis tenuibus. Inflorescentia FlcEocarpo 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 calj'cis tubo cinctus, stellato-tomentosus, ^" diametro. Calycis fructiferi lobis omnibus 

 accrescentibus stellato-pubescentibus, diiobus maximis lineari-oblongis, 2" longis, |" latis, 3-nerviis, 

 pubescentibus, apicibus obtusis, cEeteris V' longis lineari-lanceolatis. 



This plant differs from Anisoj^tera in the short liooked apex to the anther, and slender 

 style, and from Roi^ea 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-icood thin and white. 

 Duramen, first yellow ; when seasoned, black ; bitter, and when chewed jdelding flakes of 

 white resinous substance; easily worked and taking a beautiful polish. Next to the 

 Dryobalanops, this is perhaps the most valuable wood in Labuan. 



1. Vatica oblongifolia (H. f.) ; ramulis robustis puberulis, foliis longe petiolatis lineari- 

 oblongis oblongo-lanceolatisve abrupte acuminatis coriaceis utrinque glaberrimis, 

 paniculis erectis axillaribus terminaUbusque folio brevioribus, floribusque ferrugineo- 

 pubescentibus, petalis linearibus. 



Hab. In Borneo ora septentrionali, Low. 



V. Rassak, Bl. [Retinodendron, Korth. Verhandl. t. 8), similis, differt ramis robustis, foliis latioribus 

 magis oblongis abrupte acuminatis longius petiolatis, paniculis plurifloris ferrugineo-pubescentibus, 

 petalisque linearibus. — Petioli 2|" longi. Folia valde coriacea, 7-9" longa, 3" lata, subtus pallida, vix 

 glauca. Flores fere V' longi. 



V. Rassak and V. venulosa, Bl. (Mus. Bot. Lugd. Bat. ii. 32), are the only other de- 

 scribed Bornean species.
