Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 167 



hairy without and near the mouth within ; lobes 6 (?), Hnear oblong, "1 in. 

 long, erect. Stamens 6 (?), •! in. long; filaments very slender, villous ; 

 anthers ovate, penicillate-apiculate. Ovary rounded, glabrous; style 

 slender, curved, "2 in. long. Fruit an oblong berry, about 1 in. long 

 and -5 in. broad. Seed 1, testa thin, shining. 



Peeak : Scortechini 159 ; King's Collector 4550, in dense jungle at 

 500 to 800 feet. 



In only one flower were any traces found of the corolla and stamens, and there 

 seemed to be 6 corolla-lobes instead of 4, and 6 stamens instead of 8. We consider it 

 best, however, to leave the species here for the present and until better material is 

 available. 



5. Patena, a. DC. 



Trees with milky juice. Leaves membranous or chartaceous, often 

 silky beneath ; stipules caducous. Flowers fascicled, rather few 

 together, in the axils of the leaves on the upper part of the 

 branchlets, pedicellate. Calyx-lobes 4, the 2 outer usually valvate 

 enclosing the 2 inner generally imbricate. Corolla campanulate ; 

 tube broad, short ; lobes 8, imbricate, in one or two series. Stamens 

 16, inserted on the corolla-tube ; filaments short ; anthers usually 

 extrorse, ovate to linear, connective produced in an acumen ; stami- 

 nodes none. Ovary villous, usually 8-celled ; style linear-subulate. 

 Fruit an oblong or ovoid flleshy berry, few-seeded. Seeds oblong, 

 usually somewhat compressed ; testa crustaceous, shining ; hilum 

 oblong or linear, conspicuous ; albumen thin ; cotyledons leafy, thin, 

 flat, nearly as long and broad as the cavity of the seed ; radicle inferior, 

 generally rather conspicuous. — Disteib. About 6 to 7 species, foimd 

 in the Malay Peninsula and Archipelago.
