2. Bouea macrophtlla, Griff. Plant. Cantor. 15 : Notulae, IV, 

 420. A tree, all parts glabrous except the inflorescence. Leaves coria- 

 ceous, oblong-lanceolate, the apex very shortly and bluntly acuminate, 

 the base cuneate or rounded ; both surfaces shining ; main nerves 

 18 to 20 pairs, spreading, slightly depressed on the upper and promi- 

 nent on the lower surface ; length 5 to 8 in., breadth 1*65 to 2'65 in. ; 

 petiole "75 to 1 in. Panicles axillary and from the axils of old leaves, 

 2 to 4 in. long, puberulous; their branches spreading, short, and densely 

 flowered. Flowers '1 in. in diam., on tomentose pedicels shorter than 

 themselves. Sepals 3 or 4, ovate, unequal, blunt, spreading, tomentose 

 externally. Petals 3 or 4, oblanceolate-oblong, rather thick, glabrous. 

 Stamens 3 or 4, about as long as the sepals : anthers ovate, slightly 

 longer than the filaments. Ovary narrowly ovoid, pubescent. Drupe
