King’s Collector 4554! and 5445! from Goping, Perak, 150—-300 m. alt., 
may be fruiting specimens of this species. The leaves are rather smaller but 
have much the same texture and nervation. Should it prove to be so, the fol- 
lowing must be added to the description: 
Fruit ellipsoid-cbovoid, 2°5—3°5 cm. long, 1°5 cm. in diam., somewhat 
acute at apex with an oblique tip, nearly black, smooth; ,pedicels enlarged to 
5 mm. in diam., rusty-pubescent, ending in the much less enlarged ring of the 
fallen perianth; pericarp thick, granular. ; 
Wray 1069! from lower Camp, Gunong Batu Pateh, Perak, is also, in all 
probability, a specimen of the fruit of a species of Beilschmiedia near to B. 
Maingayi. It may thus be characterized. 
‘“ A small tree; branchlets stout, dark-brown; buds glabrous, lanceolate, 
lcm.long. Leaves elliptic or elliptic-oblong, chartaceous, acute at apex, but 
usually sphacelate, narrowed at base; both surfaces glabrous ; 12—20 cm. 
Jong, 5—6 cm. broad; main nerves 8—10 pairs, not very prominent, reticula- 
tions prominent on both surfaces; petiole 1—2 em. long, twisted. Frit 
oblong. oblique, obtuse at apex, up to 6 em. long and 2 em. in diam., the 
pericarp ferruginously rough, scurfy; pedicel greatly thickened.’’ It cannot 
be named until the flowers are known.

(1886). A tree, reaching 15 to 20 m. in height and 40 to 50 cm. in 
diameter of stem; branchlets ashy-grey, longitudinally ribbed when 
dry, lenticellate; innovations and lanceolate leaf-buds ashy-grey- 
puberulous, the latter with few deciduous scales. Leaves thinly 
coriaceous, alternate; elliptic- lanceolate or -oblanceolate, acuminate

glabrous, often olive-green when dry, lower surface ashy-grey or rusty- 
pubescent, finally glabrate; 15—27 cm. long, 5—10 cm. broad; mid- 
rib rather slender, impressed above, raised beneath; main nerves. 
10—14 pairs, very prominent beneath, at an angle of 40° to 45° with 
the midrib, at first straight, then curving near the margin, all or only 
the upper ones joined in loops; transverse nervules and reticulations 
irregular, usually prominent on the upper surface; petiole stout, 
12—20 mm. long. Flowers in lax elongate ashy-pubescent panicles 
reaching 10—-13 cm. in length and 5 cm. in breadth; branches few,
