Malacca, Griffith, Maingay, 732. — ^Distrib. Sumatra. 



A large tree. Leaves 3-6 by 1^-2 J in. ; lateral nerves uniting close to the margin ; 

 petiole I in. Branches of mflorescence flattened belo-w the flowers. Calyx-lobes with 

 pale membranous edges. — Kurz in a MS. note on a specimen in the Calcutta Her- 

 barium suspects that this is the E. tetraedra of Miquel, but with some hesitation on 

 account of the terete branchlets. The examination of a, more complete series of 

 specimens in the Kew Herbarium enables me to confirm his suspicion.
