lepiclote scales on the under surface of the leaf. The staminal cup is broader than long, 

 sinuate rather than toothed at the broad orifice ; the stamens are quite included, inserted 

 half-way down in Wallich's and the Bornean specimens (not at the base as described by 

 Roxburgh) ; the petals are quite free. An extremely similar Malacca species, from Grif- 

 fith, has the stamens inserted towards the mouth of the cup. There are many undescribed 

 species in India ; but without fruit, and very careful dissection of the flowers, it is impos- 

 sible to distinguish them.
