Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 435 
sharply curved close to the margin; transverse nervules many and 
nearly regular and parallel, enclosing the very minutely areolate 
reticulation ; petiole stout’ at base, 15-20 mm. long, the upper half 
bordered by the decurrent margins of the blade. Spikes: 3 soli- 
tary, axillary, reaching 15—20 em. long; rhachises angular, grey- 
lepidote ; bracteoles lanceolate, acuminate, 1—3 mm. long, promi- 
nent, especially on the lower part of the rhachis below the flowers: 
2 also solitary, axillary, up to 25 cm. long ; rhachis stout, angular ; 
bracteoles asin @. Flowers: 3 solitary orsubglomerulate; perianth 
cup-shaped, !--1°5 mm. long, lobes 6, shallow, obtuse, villous within; 
stamens 12, filaments slender, anthers small, globose; pistillode 
cylindric, densely villous: 2 in groups of 2—3 or sometimes soli- 
tary, on stout pedicels, soon reaching 5 mm. jong and decurrent 
at their bases both above and below to the rhachis, young cups 
prominently scaly styles; 3, small. Fruits single or sometimes in 
pairs on a very stout woody pedicel along the thick rhachis of a 
woody raceme, when single the undeveloped ones remaining at the 
base ; pedicel about 5—10 mm. long and 5 mm. thick at base, 
puberulous and 1—3-lamellate ; cupule in young fruits depressed- 
globular embracing all but the apex and umbo of the acorn, when 
old saucer-shaped, embracing only the base of the acorn, 20—25 mm. 
in diam. and about 5 mm. high, softly minutely grey-puberulous, 
the margin thin, acute ; lamellae about 5—7, obscurely denticulate ;

King remarks that the ~ and 2 flowers are apparently produced on differ- 
ent trees; only local investigation can show if this is invariably the case: 
certainly all the specimens avaiiable have either 7 flowers only or only ¢, 
not both.
