few-flowered umbel ; the flower-pedicels longer than the calyx and, like 

 the peduncles of the secondary umbels, rugulose. Calyx-tube campanulate, 

 narrowed to the base ; the mouth truncate, with 4 very obscure shallow 

 teeth. Fruit globular, crowned by the rather large calyx-limb, 25 in. 

 in diam. (not quite ripe). 



Johobe; on Gunong Pulai, Hullett and King 253 ; Lake and Kelsall

A very well-marked species near M. amplexicaule, Roxb., at once distinguished 

 by its elongately acuminate, broad-based leaves and long-peduncled umbels. 



9. Memecylon Maingayi, Clarke in Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. IT, 557. 

 A tree, 20-40 feet high ; branches stout, terete, somewhat thickened at 

 the nodes, the bark pale-brown when dry. Leaves coriaceous, nearly 

 sessile, elliptic-oblong, sub-acute, slightly narrowed to the rounded, 

 sometimes slightly cordate base ; in length 6'5-9 in. ; breadth 3-4 25 

 in. ; main nerves 12-15 pairs, not very prominent, interarching inside 

 the margin. Flowers large for the genus, in few-flowered (12-20) 

 fascicles from the axils of the leaves or of fallen leaves ; peduncles and 

 pedicels about 15 in. long, bracteolate. Calyx-tube widely cupular, 

 truncate, toothless, '2 in. in diam. when dry. Petals obtuse in bud. 

 Fruit unknown. Cogn. in DC. Mon. Phan. VII, 1139.

An arboreal species with large flowers and thick branches, allied to 

 M. amplexicaule but well distinct. 



10. Memecylon Kurzh, King. A glabrous shrub ; young branches, 

 terete, swollen under the nodes, the bark pale when dry. Leaves 

 tjiinly coriaceous, sub-sessile, ovate-oblong, shortly acuminate, slightly 

 narrowed to the rounded base ; main nerves 15-20 pairs, rather straight, 

 interarching *25 in. from the margin, faint ; length 85-10 in. ; breadth 

 3 25-4*5 in. ; petiole about *1 in. long, stout. Flowers large, on slender 

 bi-bracteolate pedicels *4 in. long; the cymes 3- or 4-flowered, from the 

 axils of fallen leaves, solitary or several together ; peduncle short (only 

 •15 in. long). Calyx-tube campanulate, *2 in. long; the mouth '2 in. 

 wide, wavy and with 4 broad teeth. Fruit ellipsoid, somewhat curved, 

 •75 in. in length (including the persistent limb of the calyx) and *4 in. 

 in diam. M. subtrinervium, Miq., var. grandi flora, Kurz in Journ. As.

The leaves of this when dry are pale-brown on the upper and pale-olivaceous 

 on the lower surface. They are different in shape from those of M. subtrinervium 

 Miq., of which Kurz makes this a variety. The flowers of the latter are moreover 

 small and in slender pedunculate cymes.
