A Bornean species, represented in Herb. Kew. by Beccari's 760 and Haviland's 

 3420, is allied to this, but its calyx bas long teeth and much woolly bair. It is 

 evidently undescribed and migbt be named B. Beccarii.

 20 to 60 feet high ; young branches usually thicker than a goose-quill, 

 glabrous, the bark pale when dry. Leaves of the pairs not very un- 

 equal, membranous, obovate-elliptic to oblanceolate-elliptic, obtuse or 

 abruptly acute or minutely cuspidate, much narrowed from above the 

 middle into the glabrous petiole ; both surfaces brown when dry, rarely 

 tinged with green and both glabrous except for a few scattered hairs on 

 the nerves on the lower ; main-nerves 14 to 18 pairs, little-curved, spread- 

 ing, prominent on the lower surface, rather faint as the upper, veins on 

 the lower prominent, transverse, wavy ; length of the larger leaf of the 

 pair 8 to 16 in. ; breadth 4 to 6 in. ; length of the smaller leaf 5 to 8 in. ; 

 breadth 3 or 4 in. ; petioles *75 to 1*5 in. ; stipules ovate, connate by their 

 bases. Cymes pedunculate, leaf-opposed (from the fall of the subtending 

 leaf), many-flowered, much-branched, spreading, 2 to 25 in. in diam., 

 everywhere puberulous; bracteoles numerous, broadly triangular, per- 

 sistent ; peduncles *75 to 1 in. long. Flowers about 1 in. long, puberu-
