Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 211 
Leaves coriaceous; elliptic-oblong, often obovate, acute at apex, 
attenuate at base; both surfaces glabrous, dull, reddish-brown 
when dry, the lower the paler; margins recurved; 10—17 cm. long, 
4—6 cm. broad; midrib stout, scurfy, rufous-puberulous on both 
surfaces; main nerves 12—14 pairs, stout, straight at first, curved 
near the margin; reticulation obscure; petiole 6--10 mm. long, 
rufous-puberulous, thick. Flowers: 3 from the young branchlets 
below the leaves in crowded spreading many-flowered scurfy stel- 
late-pubescent rufous panicles, 5—8 cm. long; ultimate branchlets 
subumbellate; pedicels slender, 2 mm. long; perianth obovoid, 4—5 
mm. jong, glabrous on both surfaces, divided for + or + of its length 
into 3 broadly triangular teeth; andrcecium sessile, cylindric, slightly 
apiculate; anthers about 10, connate from base to apex: ? not known. 
Fruit from the branchlets below the leaves, solitary, on woody 
warted often curved peduncles 12 mm. long or more, ovoid, com- 
pressed, slightly pointed, glabrous, 2°5 cm. long, 2. cm. in diam. ; peri- 
carp thick, yellowish, subsucculent, dehiscing in 2 divaricating valves. 
Seed broadly ovoid; testa thin, shining, the rugulose albumen appear- 
ing through it; arillus reddish-orange, thin, tough, entire, completely 
enveloping the seed. Myristica fulua, King Ann. Calc. III. 297, t.

Var. paludicola, Warb. |.c. Leaves slightly appressed puberu-

ginous-puberulous panicles 4—8 cm. long; rhachis stout, angular or 
flattened, as are the branches; perianth ovoid obtuse, 2-lobed, the 
lobes prominently persistent and recurved in fruit. Myristica palu-

6. HorsFIELDIA GRANDIS, Warb. Monog. Myrist. 301 (1897). 
A small tree, reaching 6—9 m. in height and 15—20 cm. in diam. 
of stem; branchlets stout, at first densely rufous-tomentose, 
afterwards striated, tomentose on the ridges and glaucous in the 
furrows, ultimately glabrous with rough striated reddish-brown 
bark. Leaves large, thinly coriaceous; elliptic-oblong, very shortly 
and suddenly acuminate or blunt at apex, rounded or slightly cune-
