150 Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 
glabrous ; lower dark reddish brown, minutely but sparsely puberu- 
lous when young, afterwards glabrous; 10—20 cm. long, 4—6 em. 
broad ; midrib thick, impressed and sometimes keeled above, raised 
beneath ; main nerves prominent, 7—12 pairs, usually 10, regular, 
parallel, impressed above, bisulcate beneath, leaving the midrib at 
from 65°—70° and curving rather obliquely to the margin where 
they end; transverse nervules obscure, very slender, numerous and 
nearly straight, sometimes branched, enclosing the very minute 
obscure reticulation ; petiole stout, 10—25 mm. long, black. Flowers 
in umbellules on slender grey-pubescent peduncles 5—7 mm. long, in 
axillary or lateral short pubescent racemes reaching (buds only) 1 em. 
in length with about 6 flowers; involucral bracts 5, the 2 outer 
coriaceous, glabrous, orbicular, concave, the rest membranous and 
ovate, the innermost fimbriate and puberulous without; flowers in 
each umbellule 6, subsessile ; perianth lobes 6—8, irregular in shape, 
sometimes alternately ovate-acute and oblong-obtuse, densely golden- 
villous without. Stamens in 3 flowers (from bud only) 12—16, 
usually 12, glabrous, those of inner rows with a pair of large 
angular glands near the bases of the filaments. Stamnodes of 92 
flowers 9, the 3 inner short and furnished with large quite adnate 
glands (Koorders & Valeton). Fruit glossy, dark red, ovate- 
oblong, 2 cm. long, 1 cm. in diam., the tip obtusely acute, seated on 
the flattened enlarged perianth-tube with undulate margins 6 mm. 
in diam.; enlarged pedicel clavate, flattened, 14—17 mm. long ; 
pericarp when fresh speckled with white, the tip green (Kunstler) 
when dry nearly black. Koord. & Val. Bijdr. X. 158. UL. Rein-

I believe the identification to be correct: unfortunately there are only 
leaf specimens available for comparison in the Kew and Calcutta Herbaria. 
Koorders and Valeton describes the drupes as depressed-globose.
