Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 69 
impressed above, raised beneath, prominent, curved upwards to and 
along the margin where the upper ones join in loops; secondary 
nerves few, branching and irregular ; reticulations prominently areo- 
late; petiole stout, tawny-pubescent, rugose, 1:5—2 cm. long. 
Flowers in rather dense short (about 3—4 cm.) axillary and terminal 
thickly tawny-pubescent panicles of few-flowered cymules ; pedicels 
extremely short or none; bracts very small, caducous; buds ovoid ; 
flowers waxy yellowish-brown. Perianth-tube very short, tawny- 
pubescent; lobes imbricate, up to 3 mm. long, ovate-oblong, the 
outer longer than the inner ones, granular-glandular within especially 
at the base. Stamens thick, conoidal, 1-5—2 mm. long, connivent 
over the ovary which they enclose, prominently granular-glandular ; 
anthers sessile, cells elongate, the lids up-curved and curled out- 
wards. Ovary globose, glabrous, 5 mm. in diam.; style very short; 
stigma capitate. Fruit not known.

3. ENDIANDRA PR&ECLARA, Gamble in Kew Bull. 152 (1910). 
An evergreen tree reaching 15 to 20 m. in height and 45 to 60 cm. in 
diameter of stem, with spreading branches ; branchlets stout, smooth, 
glabrous, striate, dark brown; leaf-buds small. Leaves chartaceo- 
coriaceous ; elliptic-obovate or -oblong, shortly obtusely acute or acu- 
minate at apex, cuneate or sometimes rounded at base ; both surfaces 
glabrous, shining, conspicuously and minutely reticulate; 15—40 
em. long, 5—17 cm. broad; midrib stout, slightly depressed above, 
much raised beneath; main nerves 8—10 pairs, rather irregular, the 
lowest 1—2 pairs from close to the base and more oblique than the 
rest, all at first straight then curving gently to and along the mar- 
gin when they join in a series of short loops ; secondary nerves few ; 
transverse nervules not more prominent than the minutely areolate 
reticulations which are raised on both surfaces; petiole stout, 
rugose, 10—15 cm. long. Flowers rather large, in branching nearly 
glabrous axillary and subterminal panicles reaching 20 cm. in length 
and about 10 cm. in breadth; peduncles 0 or very short ; rhachis 
glabrous, flattened; cymules puberulous, few-flowered (about 10) ; 
pedicels slender, 1—2 mm. long; flowers light yellow, the buds ovoid, 
2—3 mm. in diameter. Perianth-tube cup-shaped, puberulous; 
lobes ovate, the outer three 2°5 mm. long somewhat larger than the 
inner 3, all glabrous without, granular-glandular at the base within. 
Stamens thick, conoidal, connivent over the ovary which they en-
