Perak : Scortechini, No. 2042. Penang, Curtis, No. 1576. 



This has been gathered in Penang by Mr. Curtis, who describes 

 it as a tree about 40 feet high. The late Father Scortechini, who 

 gathered it once in Perak, and who referred it doubtfully to Lophopeta- 

 lum reflexum Laws., describes it as a tree 70 to 80 feet high. Its fruit is 

 still unknown.

 Panicles axillary, pedunculate, from half as long to as long as the leaves,

 on bracteolate pedicels shorter than themselves. Calyx cupular, thick, 

 with 5 short shallow broad teeth. Petals 5, attached outside the short 

 disc, longer than the calyx, thick, broadly ovate, with a vertical ridoe 

 in the middle. Stamens 5; the filaments subulate, inserted on the inner
