Malacca, Maingay. 



BrancUets gather stout, densely clothed -witli soft spreading ferruginous tomentum., 

 leaves 6-14. by 2-4 in., haa;d, smootli but hardly polished above, with a slender mid- 

 rib, not reticulated; beneath pale -vrith 30-35 pairs of strong arched pubescent 

 nerves, and feint reticulations ; petiole very thick, \-^ in. Panicle exceeding the 

 leaves, rachis _ almost villous, branches spreading pubescent. FlotBurs $ minute, 

 i in. diam., in small lateral cymes, shortly pedicelled. Calyx lobed for half 

 way down, lobes obtuse^ Petals oHong, obtuse, pubescent outside, villous within, very 

 coriaceous. Filaments rigid nearly as long as the petals, Brupe elliptic, globose, 

 1-11 in. diam., orange-yellow, clothed with ferruginous (when dry) pubescence, and ' 

 full of black varnish. 



2. TIL. angustifolia, Sbo^. /.; leaves linear-lanceolate or -oblanceolate 

 acuminate quite glabrous, petiole long slender, panicles slender puberulous., 



Malacca, Maingay. 



Bramchlets rather slender, minutely puberulous, as are the panicles. Leaves 6-10 by 

 1^-lf in., hard, base acute often unequal, margin rather waved, shining on both sur- 

 faces, reticulations not well defined ; midrib slender above, strong beneath ; nerves 

 15-20 pairs, arched; petiole 1-1 i in. very slender, greatly thickened from i in. above 

 the base. Panicles chiefly axillary, very slender, longer or shorter than the leaves. 

 Flowers in lateral cymules, <? A in. diam. ; like those of M. tomentosa, but much less 

 tomeutose. Brupe unripe ^-J in. diam, globose, apiculate, puberulous. — Maingay 

 describes the corolla as imbricate, but I find it to be quite vaivate. 



3. BZ. Kain^ayl, Sook.f. ; leaves narrowly eUiptic-oUong or -oblanceo- 

 late abruptly acuminate pubescent beneath, panicle stout tomentose. 



Malacca, Maingay. 

 A tree yielding a copious black varnish, Maingay. Branchlets rather slender, gla- 

 brous or pubescent. Leaves 6-8 by 2:J-3J in., rigidly coriaceous, narrowed into the 

 petiole, smooth but hardly shining above, beneath minutely pubescent; nerves 20-25 

 pairs, strong, arched; reticulations beneath distinct, transverse; petiole ^— | in. Pa- 

 nicle terminal, stout, ferruginous. Flowers pubescent, $ | in. diam. subsessile ; ^ 

 more than twice as large, with an almost urceolate calyx. Filaments rather broad. 

 Ovary globose, hairy. Fruit not seen. 



4. nx. aurlculata, SboA./. ; leaves narrowly linear-oblong from an au- 

 licled tapering base recurved acuminate glabrous polished sessile or with a 

 Tery short enlarged petiole, panicle ^ stout pubescent. 



Malacca, Maingay. 



BrancUets veij thick and woody. Leaves 18 by 3-4 in., rigidly coriaceous, appa- 

 rently folded down the middle, recurved, polished on both surfaces, base^— | in. broad, 

 auricles recurved ; nerves about 30 pairs, slightly arched, more prominent above than 

 beneath, transverse reticulatioiis faint beneath ; midrib at the base suddenly expand- 

 ing into a petiole ^ in. long and as broad, which is adnate to the branch. Panicles 

 terminal, smaller than the leaves, rusty-pubescent, rachis very stout. Flowers $ clus- 

 tered about I in. diam. Brupe oblong-globose, lj-1^ in. diam^ puberulous, ribbed 

 when dry ; stone very thick. 



18. XTOTKOFSeXA, Blume. 



Small tree. Leaves alternate or opposite, petioled, entire. JRacemes short 

 axiUaiy. Flowers small, bracteate, white, polygamous. Calyx small, 4-5- 

 lobed, persistent. Petals 4r-5, spreading, imbricate. Dish annular, 4^5-lobed. 

 Stamens 4r-5, inserted on the margin of the disk, filaments fi:ee hairy. Ovary. 

 free, sessile, ovoid, l-celled ; style very short, stigma, simple ; ovule pendulous
