1. CRYPTOCARYA DENSIFLORA, Blume Bijdr. 556 (1825). A tree 
reaching 20 m. in height and 40 to 50 cm. in diameter; trunk thick, 
cylindric; bark reddish, smooth; branchlets dark brown, terete, 
rather stout, the uppermost somewhat angled and tawny-puberu- 
lous ; buds lanceolate, tawny-puberulous. Leaves coriaceous, yellow- 
ish when dry; elliptic or elliptic-ovate, abruptly long-acuminate at 
apex, the acumen obtuse, attenuate at base; upper surface glabrous, 
shining, lower glaucous and glabrous, pruinose when fresh ; 8—15 cm. 
long, 4—7 cm. broad; 3-ribbed from the base or up to 1 cm. above it, 
all impressed above, the side ribs only little fainter than the midrib, 
and extending sometimes half-way up, sometimes nearly to the 
acumen, or joined by loops to the main nerves of which usually only 
1 to 2 curving pairs; transverse nervules few, irregular; nervules 
outside the side ribs about 4—5 looped together; reticulations finely 
areolately-netted ; petiole stout, 10—15 mm.long. Flowersin axillary 
or terminal corymbose tawny-pubescent panicles much shorter than 
the leaves, usually 2—3 cm. in length and breadth; cymules dicho- 
tomous; bracts ovate, acute, caducous; bracteoles lanceolate; pedi- 
cels 1—5 mm. long or less. Perianth-tube turbinate, 1:5 mm. long, 
constricted at the mouth; lobes 2—2°5 mm. long, ovate, obtuse. 
sparsely villous within. Stamens of Ist and 2nd rows 1:°5—2 mm. 
long, the connective produced in a rounded tip; filaments pubescent : 
those of 3rd row similar but more slender; staminodes ovate acu- 
minate, glabrous in front, villous behind, 1:5 mm. long, stalk °5 
mm.; glands glabrous, rounded, stipitate,-°75 mm. long. Ovary and 
style narrowly subulate ; stigma capitate. Fruit depressed-globose 
with a conical tip, 15—2 cm. long and rather more in diameter, 
ipbed and bossed when dry. Seed conform to the pericarp; testan 
membranous ; cotyledons plane on the inner, rugose and rounded or 
the outer sides. Koord. and Val. Bijdr. X. 213. Caryodaphne densv-
