120 Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 
lules of 3 (or 5, two being rudimentary) flowers, the central one 
pedicelled, the side ones sessile at first but afterwards pedicelled, 
each flower with 6 orbicular ciliate perianth-lobes glabrous within 
afterwards reflexed; 2 in tawny-pubescent cymes 1 cm. long, the 
cymes branching and bearing similar bracteate umbellules of 3—35 
flowers, flowers with a shortly campanulate perianth-tube, tawny- 
villous within, and 6 ovate reflexed perianth lobes 1°5 to 2 mm. long. 
Stamens of 3 flowers in 3 rows, those of 2 outer rows oblong-ovate 
with slender villous filaments, those of »rd row similar but with 
two large glabrous glands on the filaments; staminodes of 92 flowers 
small, those. of two outer rows slender oblong with villous filaments, 
those of 3rd row hastate with a pair of large glands at the base. 
Ovary ovoid; style curved, slender; stigma peltate; ovary of 3 
flowers similar but very small. Fruit a globose drupe, 5—7 mm. in 
diam., seated on the cupular, turbinate, enlarged perianth-tube about 
6 mm. in diam., lobes deciduous leaving a waving margin; pericarp 
smooth; enlarged pedicel clavate, up to 7 mm. long, Meissn. in DC.

less acuminate at apex, more so at base. Drupe globose, up to 
1 cm. in diam., seated on a smaller more thickened turbinate cupule

9. AcTINODAPHNE HuLierti, Gamble in Kew Bull. 314 (1910).

closely tawny-pubescent. Leaves coriaceous, in whorls of 3 to 5; 
oblanceolate, acuminate at apex, cuneate at base; upper surface 
shining, glabrous except on the midrib, lower softly and closely grey- 
ish-tawny-pubescent ; 7—11 cm. long, 2—3 cm. broad ; midrib slender, 
raised on both surfaces, tawny-pubescent, branching into 5—6 pairs 
of very oblique (20°—30°) main nerves which often again branch; 
transverse nervules few, only apparent in very old leaves; reticula-
