1. Sarcocephalus hirsdtus, Havil. in Journ. Linn. Soc. XXXIII. 



32. A tree: young branches slender, pubescent, the bark pale. Leaves 

 thickly membranous, oblong-oblanceolate, shortly and abruptly acumin- 

 ate, the base attenuate: upper surface quite glabrous, shining, the lower 

 with short pubescence on the nerves and midrib, otherwise minutely 

 scaly ; main-nerves 7 to 9 pairs, ascending, slightly prominent on the 

 lower surface ; length 3 to 5 in. ; breadth 1-5 to 225 in. petiole *2 to 

 •3 in., pubescent ; stipules oblong-oblanceolate, obtuse, "3 in. long. 

 Peduncle solitary, terminal, about 1 in. long, with 2 lanceolate small 

 bracts about the middle. Capitules about *8 in. in diam. Calyx very 

 short; the limb truncate, hairy. Corolla infundibuliforrn, glabrous 

 both outside and inside ; the mouth with 4 rarely 5 broad rotund 

 slightly obovate lobes. Anthers 4, broadly ovate not apicalate, cordate 

 at the base, inserted at the base of the corolla-lobes by short broad 

 filaments ; numerous flattened and ridged imperfect flowers mixed with 

 the perfect ones. Style shortly exserted, stigma cylindric. 



Malacca : Ridley 3214. — Distrib. Borneo. 

 The Malacca specimens described above have their leaves more attenuate at the 

 base and rather more hairy beneath than the Bornean type (Herb. Hav. 3406) on 

 which Haviland founded the species. But in other respects they agree. 



2. Sarcocephalus Maingayi, Havil. in Journ. Linn. Soc. XXXIII. 



33. A spreading tree, 40 to 80 feet high ; young branches rather 

 stout, yellowish-brown, glabrous. Leaves coriaceous, broadly elliptic 

 or elliptic-obovate, shortly and abruptly acuminate, the base attenu- 

 ate ; upper surface quite glabrous, shining; the lower covered with 

 minute white scales : main-nerves 9 to 14 pairs, impressed on the upper 

 surface, prominent and sparsely puberulous on the lower ; length 4 to 8 

 in. ; breadth 2*25 to 3*5 in. ; petiole 5 to *75 in., slightly winged; stipules 

 oblong, sub-acute, thick, conjoined at the base, '65 in. long. Peduncles 

 solitary, terminal, short ( # 25 to '5 in. long) bearing several oblong or 

 lanceolate bracts, about '5 in. in length. Capitule 1*5 in. in diam. 

 Calyx-tube tomentose, 4-5-lobed. Corolla S in. long, infundibuliforrn ; 

 the tube sub-glabrous ; the lobes 4 or 5, lanceolate, pubescent on both 

 surfaces. Anthers oblong, sub-acute, apiculate, filaments very short. 

 Style exserted ; stigma large, overlapping at its base the apex of the 

 style. Nauclea Maingayi, Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. II, 27.
