Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 67 
verse nervules few, irregular, raised on both surfaces enclosing ob- 
scure reticulations ; petiole stout, 1—1:5 cm. long, bordered in the 
upper half by the decurrent margins of the blade. Flowers in elon- 
gate spreading panicles up to 10 cm. long, with few short pubescent 
branches ending in greenish cymules, the flowers 6—7 together in the 
cymules with short pubescent pedicels. Perianth-tube obconic, very 
short ; lobes nearly glabrous, ovate, the outer 3 much shorter (‘75 
mm.) than the inner (1°75 mm.). Stamens nearly glabrous, those 
of the Ist and 2nd rows clavate with rounded apices 1 mm. long; 
those of the 3rd row similar but with a pair of rather large glabrous 
glands at the back of the filaments; staminodes of the 4th row ovate, 
‘75 m. long, sometimes absent. Ovary ovoid, glabrous; style thick, 
curved; stigma large, thick, capitate. Drupe elliptic, 3—4 cm. long, 
-the pedicel only slightly thickened.

Evergreen trees. Leaves alternate, penni-nerved, conspicuously 
reticulate-areolate, coriaceous ; buds small, with leafy scales. Flowers 
small, hermaphrodite, in axillary or subterminal panicles. Perianth- 
tube very short; lobes 6, subequal or the inner rather smaller. 
Siamens of the Ist and 2nd row absent; those of the 3rd row 3, 
2-celled, extrorse, thick, sessile, usually connivent over the ovary ; 
staminodes of the 4th row none or minute or replaced by a fleshy 
ring; glands absent or 6 at the base of the perfect stamens. Ovary 
sessile, usually globose, surrounded by the perianth-tube; style 
short ; stigma capitate. Fruit an oblong or subglobose berry, the 
pedicel sometimes thickened; perianth usually wholly deciduous. 
Distr. About 15 species, Indian, Malayan and Australian. 
The Malay Peninsula species all seem to belong to subgenus Dictyodaphne, 
Migq. characterized by the absence of staminodes and glands. 
Leaves under 10 cm. long and 4 cm. broad, glabrous, main 
nerves 8 to 10 pairs; panicles glabrous sc .. lL. BH. Maingayi.
