522 Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 



shrub ; branchlets brown, striate, with purphsh-brown rather stiff 

 pubescence. Leaves coriaceous when old, almost membranous when 

 young ; ovate-oblong or ovate, acuminate at apex, acute at base ; both 

 surfaces olive-green when dry, rather dull, lower paler, glabrous except 

 on the midrib beneath ; margins recurved ; 3 to 4 in. long, 1 to 1-75 in. 

 broad ; midrib prominent on the lower, impressed on the upper, surface ; 

 main nerves 7 to 8 pairs, pale, I'aised on the lower surface, starting at an 

 angle of 50° with the midrib and curving upwards to meet in a looped 

 intramarginal nerve ; secondary nerves few ; reticulations irregular, 

 prominent on the lower surface ; petiole '3 to "5 in. long, rusty- 

 pubescent. Cymes axillary, sessile, densely clothed as in the calyx with 

 purplish-brown pubescence, reaching -75 to 1 in. long ; branches few, 

 few-flowered; bracts minute, deciduous; pedicels about •! in. long, 

 thick ; buds oblong ; flowers rather large. Galyx-lohe'S, ovate-oblong, 

 glabrous within, -1 in. long ; scales or 'minute, alternate with the 

 lobes within. Gorolla-tuhe short, •! to -2 in. long; lobes obovate-oblong, 

 glabrous, "35 to '5 in. long, spreading in flower. Co?'07z.a-processes 

 flat, truncate, much shorter than the anthers when young, when older 

 furnished with an erose tip as long as the anthers, minutely gland-dotted. 

 Style-apex pyriform-clavate, "1 in. long ; the tip conical, bifid, in 

 acuminate lobes. Follicles 3 in. long, -4 to '5 in. broad, cylindric, acute ; 

 pericarp smooth, thick, brown. Seeds ovate, flattened, with a shining 

 margin, -6 in. long, "25 in. broad ; testa brown, thin. 



Perak : Scortechini 630 ; at Larut Hill, 3000 ft., Derry (Curtis 2706). 



The leaves in the two specimens seem at first to differ considerably, but the 

 flowers agree and we believe the diiiference is merely due to Scortechini's leaves coming 

 from a much older plant. 



4. ToxocAEPUs PENANGIANUS, King & Gamble, n. sp. A slender twin- 

 ing shrub ; branchlets pale brown, striate, hispid with ferruginous- 

 brown hairs. Leaves chartaceous; lanceolate or oblanceolate, cuspidately 

 acuminate at apex, acuminately cuneate at base ; nearly black, shining 

 and glabrous except on the midrib on the upper surface, pale and 

 glabrous on the lower, except on the midrib or main nerves ; margins 

 recurved ; 3-5 to 4-5 in. long, 1 to 1-25 in. broad ; midrib stout, im- 

 pressed above, raised beneath; main nerves 6 to 8 pairs, irregular but 

 usually at an angle of about 50° with the midrib, slightly cui'ved to 

 meet an intramarginal looped nerve ; secondary nerves few ; reticulations 

 irregular, prominently netted on the under surface ; petiole -25 to -35 in, 

 long, bordered by the narrow decurrent margin of the blade, densely 

 rusty-pubescent. Cymes slender, rusty-pubescent, divaricate, reaching 

 2 in. in length and about 4 in. in breadth, sessile or very shortly
