6. P. Anderson!, Hook. f. ; quite glabrous, leaves oblong subacute or 

 obtuse crenate-serrate eglandular, racemes very short ajcillary dense-flowered 

 glabrous, calyx 5-lobed, petals broadly ovate with villous margins. 



Bengai,, summit of Panisnath, alt. 4000 ft., T. Aadersoa. 



A rigid shrub, quite glabrous except the margins of the petals. Leaves 3 in., 

 coriaceous, smooth above, and bright green, paler beneath with 10-12 pairs of very- 

 faint nearly straight ascending nerves ; petiole j in, Sacemes 1 in. ; pedicels very 

 short ; bracts concave, obtuse. Calyx-tube hemispheric ; lobes broadly .ovate, obtuse^ 

 ciliate. Petals membranous, twice as large as the calyx-lobes. Stamtns about 15. 

 Ovary Teiy minute, glabrous, imperfect. 



** Ovary hirsute or villous, 

 t Leaves glrdtrous beneath. 



7. P. persimile, Kurz in Jonm. As. Soe. Beng. xli. Pars. 2, 306; For. 

 Flor. Brit. Burm. i. 436 ; leaves elliptic or elliptic-lanceolate obtusely acumi- 

 nate, midrib pubescent beneath, racemes 2-3, pedicels very short. 



Tenasseeim, ICurz. 



A tree ; young twigs sparingly appressed-pubescent. Leaves obtuse and equal or 

 unequal at the base, glabrous above or pubervdous along the impressed nerves ; petiole 

 \ in. slender, pubescent. Racemes from the scars of fallen leaves, or from thfr 

 branches ; pedicels very short. Calyx-tube short, urceolate. Ovary densely hirsute ; 

 style long, exserted, stigma broad. — Next to P. Lampongo {Kurz, 1. c). 



I have a specimen from Heifer that may be this, but it is in a most imperfect 

 state ; the basal leaf-glands are absent or very obscure, the raceme 1 in. long with 

 persistent bracts ; the calyx-tube obconic and limb with 6 oblong obtuse lobes. — A 

 Malacca plant {Griffith 2052) may be referable here, but differs in the shorter 

 stout style. 



9. P. polystachyum, Hook. f. ; leaves oblong obtuse young hoary 

 beneath, petiolar glands 2 very tumid, racemes fascicled elongate finely pubes- 

 cent, calyx-tube shortly 10-lobed, petals 0, stamens 40-50, style glabrous. 



Malacca, Maingay {Herb. Kew, 627). 



' A tree, not lofty, with very thick trunk ; ' branches very stout, black, youngest 

 and young leaves beneath clothed with very fine hoary down. Leaves 5-7 in., 

 rounded at both extremities, very coriaceous, glabrous above with impressed veins, 

 red-brown beneath with puberuloue midrib and stout arching spreading nerves ; petiole 

 1 in., very stout, with two oblong tumid glands at the apex in old leaves (not developed 

 in the young). Racemes 2—4 in., axillary and from the scars of fallen leaves, hoary- 

 pubescent, peduncle and rachis stout, strict ; pedicels stout, ^ in. ; bracts ; buds 

 globose. Calyx-tvbe A in. diam., lU'ceolate ; teeth rounded. Stamens in several 

 series, filaments not longer than the calyx. Ovary hirsute ; style stout, exserted. 



10. P. parviflorum, Teys^in. ^ Binneml. in Nat. Tijd. Neerl. Ind. ii. 

 309 ; leaves oblong obtuse, basal glands 2 large, nerves puberulous beneath, 

 racemes fascicled on the old wood elongate tomentose, bracts deciduous, calyx 

 limb 10-12-toothed, petals 0. — Miguel Fl. Ind. Bat. i. 361. P. arlwreum,. 

 Endl. Gen. PI. 1260 in part. Polydontia arborea, Blume Bijd. 1105. Poly- 

 storthia, Blume Prcef. Flor. Jav. viii. partim. 



Malacca, Griffith, Maingay. — Disteeb. Java, Borneo. 



A tree ; branches stout, lenticellate ; young branchlets and racemes tomentose. 

 Leaves 4-6 in., variable in length and breadth, coriaceous, base usually rounded ; 

 nerves strong arching and spreading : midrib with fine appressed hairs ; petiole j-| 

 in. Racemes 1-3 in. long; peduncle and rachis stout; pedicels short; buds almost 

 globose. Calyx urceolate ; teeth small, obtuse, villous. Stamens about 20. Ovary 

 densely villous ; style slender, hairy. F^it ^ in. transversely, clothed with deciduous 

 hairs. — Bornean specimens have no basal leaf-glands.
