Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 85 
50cm.; branches spreading ; branchlets slender, terete, glaucous-grey. 
Leaves sub-coriaceous, undulate, opposite or sub-opposite ; lanceolate, 
acute at apex, subcuneate at base ; both surfaces glabrous, the upper 
shining dark green when fresh, olive green whendry, the lower grey- 
cinereous as are the young leaves on both sides ; margins cartilagin- 
ous; 8—15 cm. long, 3—5 cm. broad; ribs 3, the midrib slender 
‘in young, strong in old leaves, the side pair branching from the 
midrib at from 5 to 15 mm. above the base, sometimes not quite 
opposite, curving to about 2 of the length of the blade and then 
joined by the main nerves and breaking up into loops; main nerves 
from the midrib about 4—6 pairs, rather obscure; reticulation pro- 
minently areolate in young leaves, hardly apparent in old ones; 
_ petiole rather stout, 1 —1°5 cm. long, channelled above. Flowers pale 
vellow, in slender long-peduncled grey-pruinose panicles or 7- or 15- 
flowered dichasia, reaching 15 cm. in length ; peduncles very slender, 
somewhat flattened as are the branches and pedicels ; buds obovoid, 
very minutely puberulous. Perianth-tube rather siender, 2 mm. long 
glabrous within ; lobes ovate, 2°5 mm. long, white-villous within spe- 
cially at the base. Stamens slender, 2—2:5 mm. long; those of the 
Ist and 2nd rows with oblong anthers and anther-cells and nearly gla- 
brous filaments; those of the 3rd row with smaller anthers, filaments 
villous at base and 2 large uniform glabrous stipitate glands, trun- 
cate or lobed at apex, inserted about 4 of the way up the filaments 
staminodes of 4th row 1:5 mm. long with ovoid acute heads and 
villous filaments. Ovary ovate-oblong, narrowed into the slender 
style ; stigma peltate, oblique. Fruit not known.

sub-opposite ; ovate or elliptic, obtuse or bluntly acuminate at apex, 
rounded or attenuate, usually unequally, at base; both surfaces 
pale when dry, glabrous; 5—li cm. long, 3—5 cm. broad; mid- 
rib slender, prominent beneath ; main nerves faint, 6—9 pairs, the 
lowest pair frequently opposite and curved to more than halfway up, 
the rest joining near the margin in small loops, the axils usually 
bearing a pitted gland; reticulation minutely areolate, prominent 
under the lens ; petiole slender, 1—2°5cm. long. Flowers small, up
