402 Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 
obovate, obtuse at apex usually with a short acute point, attenuate 
or cuneate more or !ess unequally at base; entire or suhcrenate on 
the margins; the upper sirface dark and shining when dry the 
lower ferruginous-brown nearly glabrous and glandular; 3—8cm long, 
2—3 em. broad; nerves 6—10 pairs, somewhat impressed above, pro- 
minent beneath. Flowers: ¢ in slender axillary spikes 2—4 cm. 
long, bracts subpestinately lobed in minutely antheriferous lobes, 
anthers ellipsoid, hispidulous: 9 in subsolitary slender axillary 
spikes 5—8 cm. long, erect in flower pendulous in fruit ; bracts 3 fid, 
very glandular, the midlohbe the longest ; perianth-lobes 4, triangular 
acute, recurved in fruit; ovary orbicular, stiffly hirsute; style 
slender, divided into 2-—4 filiform stigmas. Fruit a small globose 
nut, about 4 mm. in diam., covered with stiff acicular hairs and 
surmounted by the persistent perianth lobes ; cupular bract much 
enlarged, cleft nearly to the base within and divided on the outside 
into three scarious spathulate lobes, the mid-lobe 3—4 em. long and 
up to | em. broad, the side-lobes about half as long, all three prom-

var. crenata Hook f. M.S. in Herb. Kew. Leaflets prominently

frequently winged and the small inner lobe more expanded. 4.

It would be interesting, as Sir J. D. Hooker suggested, to obtain o flowers 
of this var.; it is not impossible that it may prove to be a distinct species. I do

and Calcutta Herbaria.

the petiole 5—10 cm. long; leaflets petiolulate (about 1 em ), sub-
