King’s Collector 4582!, 8211! Herb. Singap. No. 448(9)! Vern. 
‘ Suko Medang Kunit’, without locality. 
This species, to judge by leaf-specimens, which is all that is available (in 
Herb. Cale.) of Tetranthera? ochrascens, Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. Suppl. I. 146, 363, 
comes very near that species; but the venation does not fully agree. 
5. LitsEa GRANDIS, Hook. f. in Fl. Br. Ind. V. 162 (1886). A 
large tree reaching 25 to 30 m. in height and 60—90 em. diam. of 
stem; bark warted; branchlets very stout, angular, the upper ones 
densely tawny-tomentose; buds ovoid, 1—3 ecm. long, velvety. 
Leaves coriaceous, alternate; broadly obovate or orbicular-ovate 
or -obovate, generally obtuse but sometimes acute or shortly acumi- 
nate at apex, attenuate or rounded or sometimes subcordate at base;

nerves, lower densely rusty-tomentose; margins recurved; 10—30 
em. long, 5—18 cm. broad; midrib very stout, flat and tomentose 
above or sometimes impressed, prominent beneath; main nerves 
12 to 20 pairs, divergent from the midrib at from 60°—70°, straight 
to near the margin where they curve upwards, deeply impressed 
above, raised beneath; transverse nervules very many and promi- 
nent, regular, ladder-like; reticulation in the intervals again more 
or less transverse; petiole very stout, 2—4cm. long. Flowers in

concave, densely greyish silky tomentose without; open umbellules 
10 mm. broad in ¢ , 7—8 mm. in @ ; flowers in each umbellule 5—7

more, up to 21; those of the 2 outer rows normally eglandular, but 
frequently with 1 or more stipitate glands, anthers short truncate at 
base, rounded above, filaments very slender, sparsely strigose, 3—4 
mm. long; those of the inner rows shorter and with a pair of small 
clavate stipitate glands at the base; upper anther-cells introrse, 
lower lateral; rudimentary ovary 0. Staminodes of 92 flowers 
normally 12; those of outer rows clavate, 2 mm. long, the filaments 
villous ; those of inner rows linear and with a pair of shortly-stalked
