66 Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 
small tree: branchlets rather stout, stiff, rough especially just below 
the leaves, greyish-white ; leaf-buds lanceolate acuminate with glab- 
rous scales. Leaves coriaceous, in close fascicles at the ends of the 
branchlets; obovate, very obtusely acute at apex, long-cuneate at 
base; both surfaces glabrous and minutely reticulate, the upper 
dark grey, shining, the lower glaucous; margins recurved; 6—12 
cm. long, 3—5 cm. broad; midrib prominent, raised on both 
surfaces; main nerves 10—12 pairs, raised on both surfaces, 
at about 70° with the midrib and curved to branch near the mar- 
gin and so join in loops, joined by the prominently areolate raised 
reticulation ; petiole 1—2 cm. long, black, channelled. Flowers very 
small, in slender dichotomous corymbose pedunculate glabrous pani- 
cles from the axils of upper leaves or the scars of fallen ones, about 
6 cm. long; peduncles 4—5 cm. long, slightly flattened, branches slen- 
der ; terminal cymules 3-flowered; pedicels clavate, 2—3 cm. long con- 
tinuous with the perianth-tube. Perianth-tube cup-shaped; lobes 
ovate, obtuse, the outer three 1—1°5 mm. long, the inner three 1-5—2 
mm. long, allslightly pubescent. Stamens very small, those of the Ist 
and 2nd rows ‘75 mm. long, clavate, villous, the connective emargi- 
nate; those of 3rd row similar but more square and a little longer, 
with 2 rather large glabrous glands at the base just behind ; stami- 
nodes of 4th row very small, cordate, stipitate, villous behind. Ovary 
ovoid; style slender; stigma obtuse. Fruit ellipsoid, black when 
dry, smooth, 1 cm. long and:75cm. in diameter seated on the clavate 
thickened pedicel 5 mm. long.

Curtis 1193!. SzLancor: top of Batu caves, Kelsall 1986!; Ridley ! 
Ridley’s specimen has very small leaves under 5 em. long and 2 em. 
broad, and the small fruit here described, but there seems no reason to 
consider it other than a low-growing specimen of D. Curtisit. 
5. DEHAASIA LANCIFOLIA, Ridley in Journ. Linn. Soc. XXXIIT. 
320 (1908). A small tree or large shrub reaching 7—8 m. in height

dish brown, uppermost angled by lines decurrent from the leaves ; 
buds very small. Leaves very coriaceous, glabrous, somewhat fasci- 
cled at the nodes ; lanceolate or oblong-Janceolate, obtusely acuminate 
at apex, cuneate at base; both surfaces glabrous, reddish when dry ; 
15—20 cm. long, 3:5 to 7 cm. broad; midrib stout, very prominent 
beneath ; main nerves 9—14 pairs, raised on both surfaces, at first 
straight afterwards curving to meet in loops near the margin; trans-
