Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. Lr, 
and elliptic lenticels, uppermost angular, minutely puberulous ; 
innovations silvery-silky. Leaves coriaceous, alternate ; lanceolate or 
ovate-oblong or oblong-lanceolate, acute or obtuse and mucronate 
at apex, rather abruptly cuneate, often unequally, at base; upper 
surface glabrous, lower paler, when young silky-tomentose and 
silvery; 15—50 cm. long, 5—12 cm. broad; midrib very broad 
(up to 4 mm.) immersed above, much raised beneath; main nerves 
14—20 pairs, slender, obscure above, not prominent beneath, | 
starting at about 60° with the midrib and curving to and along the 
margin; transverse nervules few, distant, very obscure as is the 
reticulation; petiole stout, rugose, 1—2 cm. long, channelled 
above. Flowers in tomentose umbellules in axillary or lateral tawny- 
pubescent racemes 3—10 cm. long, the peduncles 2—5 mm. long ; 
raceme bracts rather large, boat-shaped, 6 mm. long, very early 
caducous ; umbellules when expanded about 1 cm. broad ; involucral 
bracts 4, orbicular, concave, silky-tomentose without, glabrous 
within ; flowers in each umbellule 5—7, sessile; perianth-tube short, 
grey-vilious within, lobes usually 6, sometimes more, ovate acumi- 
nate, ciliolate,3 mm.long. Stamens of & flowers 12—16, those of 
the outer rows 5 mm. long with subquadrate anthers and grey- 
villous filaments, sometimes with glands at the base, those of the 
inner rows much shorter and with a pair of rather large oblong obtuse 
subsessile glands at the base; all the anthers introrse or the lower 
slightly lateral; ovary ovoid, glabrous, with short style and peltate 
stigma, ovule apparently fertile. Staminodes of 2 flowers not seen. 
Fruit depressed-globose, 2—3 cm. diam., half-immersed in the very 
rough leathery obconic enlarged perianth-tube, 10O—15 mm. high 
and 25—30 mm. in diam. at the acute mouth ; enlarged pedicel stout, 
flattened, 10—15 mm. long; pericarp smooth, fleshy within; testa
