6. ACTINODAPHNE MALACCENSIS, Hook. f. in Fl. Br. Ind. V. 
148 (1886). A tree; branchlets rather stout, densely rusty-tomen- 
tose; terminal branch-buds lanceolate, the outer scales leaf-like, up 
to 1 cm. long. Leaves subcoriaceous, in whorls of 4 to 7; elliptic- 
oblong or -lanceolate, obtusely acuminate at apex, attenuate at 
base; upper surface shining, glabrous, lower puberulous when 
young, glabrous when old except sometimes on the nerves; 10—20 
em. long, 4—7 cm. broad; midrib rather slender, raised on the 
upper surface; main nerves 8—12 pairs, often rather irregular and 
branched, impressed above, conspicuous beneath; transverse 
nervules few, irregular; reticulation obscure; petiole rusty-tomen- 
tose, 1—2 cm. long. Flowers in globose clusters 7—13 mm. in 
diam. at the verticils or on the internodes between them, supported 
by small orbicular deciduous bracts; clusters with many sessile 
involucres each of 4 orbicular concave bracts 2—3 mm. long, pubes- 
cent without glabrous within and 1—3-nerved; each involucre 
bearing an umbellule of 3 flowers, the middle one longer pedicellate 
than the side ones; 3 and 2 flowers similar, with 6 ovate ciliate 
perianth-lobes 2 mm. long, puberulous without, glabrous within. 
Stamens of 3 flowers in 3 rows, 1:5 mm. long, the anthers ovate, 
the filaments hidden in tufts of tawny-silky hairs, those of the inner 
row with 2 large nearly basal reniform glabrous glands; rudimentary 
ovary conical. Staminodes of 2 flowers also in 3 rows, those of the 
2 outer rows clavate, those of the third row hastate with two large 
glabrous glands on the filaments; filaments always with tufts of silky 
hair. Ovary sub-globose; style short, slender; stigma broadly 
peltate. Fruit ‘globose, 8 mm. in diameter, seated on the very 
small cup-shaped thickened perianth-tube 3 mm. in diam.; pedicel 
very short and thick ’ (Hooker).
