850 Flora of the Malayan Peninsida. 



at the sides from raised lines descending from the sides of the petiole, 

 glabrous or very slightly puberulous. Leaves chartaceous, 3- to 5-folio- 

 late, the middle leaflet longest, the next pair not much smaller, the lowest 

 pair a good deal smaller, all petiolulate or the lowest pair subsessile ; 

 leaflets entire, obovate or oblong-obovate, shortly suddenly acuminate 

 at apex, rounded often unequally at base ; upper surface glabrous, except 

 on the nerves, olivaceous-brown, shining, rough, minutely white-gland- 

 dotted ; lower surface glabrous, paler than the upper, with minute 

 yellow glands ; middle leaflet 4 to 6 in. long, 2-5 to 3 in. broad, rest 

 gradually smaller but similar ; midrib strong, impressed above ; main 

 nerves about 10 pairs, irregular, curving upwards to and along the 

 margin and joined by rather irregular transverse nervules; petiole 1"5 to 

 4 in. long, quadrangular but not winged ; petiolule of middle leaflet about 

 1 in. long, of next pair about '5 in. long, of the lowest pair to "25 in. 

 long. Panicles terminal, thinl}^ cinereous-tomentose, thyrsoid, usually 

 sessile, reaching 8 in. in length and 5 in. in diam. ; branches elongate, 

 cylindric, bearing interrupted whorls of pairs of many-flowered cymules 

 about '5 in. long ; branch-peduncles 1 to 2 in. long ; bracts linear -1 to 

 •15 in. long, recurved, deciduous ; buds large, reaching -25 in. long. 

 Calyx tubular-campanulate, '15 in. long, flattened in fruit and en- 

 larged ; tube tawny-pubescent and glandular without, glabrous within ; 

 teeth short, acute, rounded in fruit. CoroUa-iuhe curved, contracted 

 at the throat, -25 in. long, pubescent without except at the base, quite 

 glabrous within ; 2-lipped, upper lip of 2 erect crenate lobes -1 in. 

 long, lower of 3 lobes, midlobe broad, crenate, obtuse, "2 in. long, side 

 lobes shorter, reflexed, all pubescent without, glabrous within. Stamens 

 curved, exsert ; filaments glabrous ; anther-cells attached only at one 

 point, curving to nearly erect. Ovary conical, with a few glands on its 

 top ; style thickened, sigmoid below, glabrous ; stigma shortly 2-lobed. 

 Drupe globose, depressed, "3 to "5 in. long, shortly apiculate, wrinkled 

 when dry ; pyrene very hard. Seeds flattened, oblong ; testa thin, 

 spongy. V. urceolata, Clarke in Hook. f. Fl. Br. Ind. IV. 585 (1885). 

 V. heterophyUa, Schauer in DC. Prodr. XI. 686 partly. V. Loureirii, 

 Herb. Wight, not of Hook. & Arn. 



Peeak: in Upper Perak, at 3Q^ ft., Wray 3653 ; Scortechini 61 ; in 

 dense mixed jungle, at 400 to 600 ft., King's Collector 10406. Malacca : 

 Griffith (K.D.) 6064 ; Maingay (K.D.) 1205, 1207. 



As pointed out by Clarke, this variety differs in the glabresceut foliage, larger 

 flowers and larger drupes. V. heterophyUa, Eoxb., with which Koorders & Valeton 

 would combine V. urceolata, has different leaves and inflorescence and a corolla 

 villous within.
