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



Ramuli crass, digiti minoris, tomento e pilis septatis. Cin-i et peiioli crass, pennas corvinae. Petioli 

 6" longi, j)etiolulis 1" longis. Foliola 2 lateralia valde inasquilateralia, latere extimo subcordato ; inter- 

 media oblonga v. oblongo-lanceolata ; omnia 5-8" longa, dentata, utrinque rufo-pilosa. Stipulce V 

 longce, sessiles, late cordatae, glabratse. Paniculce (v. spicag) rami pollicares, crassi. Flores sessiles, 

 in lanam immersi. Calyx cupularis, 5-lobus. Petala brevia, glabra. FUamenta brevia. Ovarium 

 depressum, stigmate conico. 

 My specimen of tliis magnificent plant is, I regret to say, in a very imperfect state. 



The great size, stont habit, dense tomentum, large persistent stipnles, and short woolly 



branches of the panicle well distinguish it from all others of this section with spicate 



flowers.

The genus Connaropsis was proposed by Planchon in the Hookerian Herbarium on two 

 Malacca plants of Griffith, of which one (C. monophylla, PI. Cuming, 2324) has to- 

 mentose panicles and simple (unifoliolate) elliptic-ovate long-acuminate leaves, and the 

 other ( C. Griffiihii, PI.) has impari-pinnate leaves with one pair of leaflets. The C. mono- 

 plujlla differs from C. glcmca in the form of the leaves, and in the very long styles, which 

 project beyond the stamens.
