446 Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 
The leaves in the Peninsular specimens are considerably larger than those 
figured by Korthals, but in other respects Sir G. King’s identifications seem 
correct. 
28. Pasanta conrracosa, Gamble. A large tree reaching a 
height of 24—30 m. and 60—90 cm. in diam. of stem; branches 
spreading ; branchlets stout, smooth, greyish-brown, with few but 
rather large lJenticels, the youngest scurfy; leaf-buds ovoid with 
small narrow acute scales. Leaves very coriaceous; elliptic or 
elliptic-lanceolate, abruptly and obtusely cuspidate-acuminate at 
apex, acute at base ; upper surface dark green when fresh, more or 
less shining when dry, smooth, lower greyish when fresh minutely 
greyish appressed-pubescent when dry; margins slightly recurved : 
10—18 cm. long, 3—75 cm. broad; midrib stout, prominently 
raised on both surfaces; main nerves 6—8 pairs, raised beneath, 
curving gradualiy to and along the margin; transverse nervules. 
many, subparallel, indistinct as is the reticulation ; petiole stout, 
10—12 mm. long. Flowers unknown. Fruits sessile, solitary, 
globose, ii stout or somewhat slender terminal or axillary spikes up 
to 20 cm. long, the peduncle about 4—5 cm.; rhachis like the branch- 
lets; when ripe up to 3°5 cm. in diam. and 3 cm. high ; cupules 
when half-grown thin enveloping three-fourths or more of the 
acorn, rugosely reticulated with appressed ovate acute keeled scales 
of which only the apex of the upper ones is free, when mature 
thicker and enveloping the whole acorn except the umbo, the scales 
thickened into irregular coarse tubercles; acorn globose when young, 
when mature somewhat depressed, minutely velvety; umbo promi- 
nent, the stigmas persistent. Quercus confragosa, King in Hook. 
f. Fl. Br. Ind. V. 616 (1888) and in Ann. Cale. II. 77. t. 71. 
PERAK: in forest on low hills up to 150 m. alt. King’s Collector 
8123!, 8188!. 
This is a very remarkable species especially in the difference between the 
young and the mature cupules. 
29. Pasanta Wrayit, Gamble. A tree, branchlets rather 
stout, pale, shining, the young ones densely and minutely fulvous- 
tomentose. Leaves subcoriaceous; oblong-lanceolate, long—cau- 
date-acuminate at apex, acute or obtuse and often unequal at 
base ; both surfaces dull, minutely stellate-puberulous especially on 
the midrib, lower paler; margins recurved when dry; 13—20 cm. 
long, 3—5 cm. broad ; midrib prominent, raised on both surfaces ; 
main nerves 12—16 pairs, prominent especially on the lower surface,
