This approaches P. costatum, Bl. in the shape and nervation of its leaves ; but 

 is distinguished from that species by its spicate inflorescence and solitary flowers. 

 Jts fruit also is more orbicular than that of P. costatum. 



5. Parinaridm Maingayi, King n. spec. A tree ; young branches 

 with dark bark bearing a few oblong lenticels, glabrous. Leaves very 

 coriaceous, elliptic-oblong, very shortly and obtusely acuminate, the 

 base rounded ; both surfaces glabrous and with minutely papillate 

 reticulations, the upper shining, the lower dull and rather pale ; main 

 nerves 10-12 pairs, spreading, curving, rather prominent beneath ; 

 length 3-4-5 in , breadth 135-2 in. ; petiole '3 in., stout. Spikes 

 usually in pairs, axillary, shorter than the leaves, pedunculate, minutely 

 tomentose. Flowers sessile, '3 in. long, or (to the apex of the stamens) 

 •6 in. ; bracts shorter than the calyx-tube, broadly ovate-obtuse, tomen- 

 tose. Calyx-tube infundibuliform, tomentose outside, deflexed-villous 

 inside ; the lobes short, broad, rounded very obtuse. Petals longer 

 than the calyx-lobes, obovate, sessile, glaberulous. Stamens 12-16, 

 much longer than the petals, decurved. Ovary densely wooly; style 

 long, slender. Drupe spherical, the size of a small apple (Hooker) ; 

 the pericarp thick and bony, smooth on the inner surface, furrowed 

 on one side. Seed large, with a thin texta. P. asperulum, Hook. fil.

Malacca ; Maingay 618, and probably also Griffith 2049. 



This in some respects resembles P. asperulum and P. scabrum, but differs from 

 both in its much lai'ger fruit and sessile flowers, and from the former also in the 

 venation of its leaves. 



6. Parinarium e latum, King n. spec. A tree 60-120 feet high ; 

 young branches as thick as a quill, blackish-cinereous, lenticellate. 

 Leaves thickly coriaceous, subsessile, elliptic to ovate-elliptic, acute or 

 shortly acuminate ; the base broad, rounded or minutely cordate ; upper 

 surface glabrous, shining, the main nerves and midrib slightly promi- 

 nent ; lower surface darker and duller than the upper when dry, glab- 

 rous except a few strigose hairs at the base of the very prominent 

 midrib ; the 12-14 pairs of spreading curved main nerves very promi- 

 nent ; length 45-7'5 in., breadth 15-325 in. ; petiole only about 15 in., 

 strigose. Panicles axillary, solitary or several together, shorter than the 

 leaves, with few short rather distant branches, or unbranched, minutely 

 tomentose, few-flowered ; bracts 2 at the base of each flower, slightly 

 shorter than the calyx-tube, elliptic, acute, adpressed-pubescent. Calyx- 

 tube funnel-shaped, adpressed-tomentose outside, deflexed-villous inside 

 at the mouth ; the lobes unequal, nearly as long as the tube, broadly 

 ovate, subacute, very tomentose on both surfaces. Petals longer and
