This species greatly resembles A. stenophylla, Thwaites, a Ceylon species ; 
but differs in the shorter peduncles and the fruit, and espceially in the fruiting 
perianth-tube which has persistent lobes and is more cup-shaped, while in 
A. stenophylla the lobes are deciduous and the tube shallow. A. stenophylla 
also has the midrib of the leaves tawny-villous, while the under-surface in 
A. oleifolia is quite glabrous. The Borneo specimens have rather larger leaves 
reaching 4—5 cm. in breadth and much less prominently areolate, but other- 
wise agree. 
11. AcTINODAPHNE CUSPIDATA, Gamble in Kew Bull. 314 (1910). 
A tree reaching 12 to 18 m. in height and 20—30 cm. in diam. of 
stem; branchlets rather thick with greyish or yellowish bark, upper- 
most rusty-pubescent; shoot-buds perulate, the scales ovate or 
lanceolate, acuminate. Leaves coriaceous, in whorls of about 4; 
elliptic or elliptic-obovate, long cuspidate-acuminate at apex with a 
very sharp acumen, attenuate at base; upper surface glabrous, 
shining, lower glaucous-white with scattered black hairs, the midrib 
and nerves rusty pubescent ; 8—12 cm. long, 4—5 cm. broad; mid- 
rib prominent, raised on both surfaces; main nerves 8—10 pairs, 
irregular, curving upwards to join in loops near the margin; trans- 
verse nervules nearly horizontal, enclosing the rather minute reticu- 
lation; petiole slender, rusty-pubescent, 1 cm. long. Flowers in 
umbellules in very short rusty-pubescent racemes under 1 cm. long, 
subterminal or lateral from the internodes between the whorls, sup- 
ported at the base by chestnut-brown hard ovate acuminate caducous 
scales; peduncles very short; involucral bracts 4, broadly ovate, 
enclosing the umbellule of 4 flowers; perianth lobes ovate, obtuse, 
ciliate, gland-dotted, 2—5 mm. long. Stamens of 3 flowers 9, those 
of the Ist and 2nd rows 2 mm. long, with oblong anthers and slender 
villous filaments, those of the 3rd row shorter with a pair of large 
glabrous, sessile or very shortly stipitate, glands at the base, rudi- 
mentary ovary very small; style slender; stigma capitate. Fruit
