42 Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 
elliptic- or obovate-oblong, or oblong-oblanceolate, sometimes almost 
orbicular; obtuse, emarginate, sometimes mucronate or shortly 
acuminate at apex, rounded or slightly attenuate at base; margin 
usually recurved ; upper surface shining usually conspicuously bullate, 
glabrous when mature except on the midrib and nerves; lowersurface 
sreyish-rusty-pubescent between the densely rusty tomentose nerva- 
tion ; 10—30 cm. long, 5 to 15 cm. broad ; midrib very stout, scarcely 
raised or impressed on the upper, much raised on the lower surface ; 
main nerves 5 to 10, impressed above, raised beneath, curving 
upwards to and along the margin and joined by prominent also 
impressed transverse nervules, and these again by reticulations; peti- 
ole stout, 1°5 to 2°5 cm. long. Flowers sessile, in stout dense much 
branched axillary and terminal panicles up to 10 or 15 em. long; 
bracts thick, oblong orspathulate, about 4 mm. long, with 2 bracteoles 
1 to 2 mm. long to each flower. Perianth-tube cylindric, densely 
rusty-tomentose, 2—5 mm. long; lobes about 4 mm. long, ovate, 3 
nerved, grey, the outer slightly acute, tufted hairy near the tip and 
somewhat longer than the obtuse inner ones. Stamens of Ist and 
2nd row about 2°5 mm. long, the filaments villous, those of 3rd 
row as long and with the connective crest-like; staminodes of 4th 
row cordate acuminate, obtuse at apex, hirsute on the back, -2 mm. 
long; glands large, 1-5 mm. long, glabrous, villous-stipitate. Ovary 
slender, ending in a long style and obtuse stigma; the young fruit 
prominently urceolate at first. Fruit ellipsoid, black, glabrous and 
smooth when ripe, ribbed when young, 2 cm. long by 1-5 cm.in diam- 
Seeds conform to the enlarged perianth-tube; testa membranous; 
cotyledons fleshy. Meissn. in DC. Prodr. xv. i. 69. C. infectoria, 
Mig. var. 8. acuminulata, Meissn. in DC. Prodr. XV. i, 68.

This species approaches rather nearly, as hinted by Meissner, to C. Griffith- 
iana, but is distinguished by the usually very obtuse, short apiculate or even 
emarginate leaves, the ellipsoid fruit, the small bracts and the blunt stam- 
inodes. It is therefore considered best to maintain it separate, and the long 
series of specimens of either species with very little tendency to intermediate 
(Wray 2962 is the only one slightly so) seems to support the conclusion. 
Burn-Murdoch gives the Vernacular name ‘‘ Medang miang.’’
