Vern. ‘ Kayu Medang Kuning’ (Pun Bebas); ‘Medang Merah’ (Good- 
enough). In reference to the doubt regarding the identification of this species 
given in the Fl. Br. Ind., I have compared the descriptions and available 
specimens of both the Peninsular and Archipelago species and believe it to be 
correct. 
9. CRYPTOCARYA BRACTEOLATA, Gamble in Kew Bull. 143 (1910). 
A tree, reaching 18 to 24 m. in height and 40 to 50 cm. in diam. ; 
branchlets terete, light brown, minutely grey-puberulous ; innovations 
and upper branchlets, also the inflorescence, dark rusty-tomentose. 
Leaves coriaceous ; ovate or elliptic, bluntly acuminate at apex, 
cuneate at base; upper surface dull or very slightly shining, glabrous 
except the midrib, lower surface bluish-glaucous, almost quite white 
when dry, the midrib and main nerves tawny-puberulous ; 10—18 cm. 
long, 4—8 cm. broad ; midrib rather slender, slightly impressed above ; 
main nerves 6 to 8 pairs, the lowest from very near the base, curved 
upwards to and along the margin, joined by irregularly subparallel 
rather distant transverse nervules, and these again by the somewhat 
prominent reticulations ; petiole 1—2 cm. long, twisted. Flowers in 
axillary or terminal long-bracteate blackish tomentose panicles much 
shorter than the leaves, the axillary ones rarely up to 5cm. the termi- 
nal rather longer; bracts and bracteoles similar, linear, up to 1 cm.
