Malacca ; Chriffith (No. 2700 Kew Distrib.). 



Apparently a large tree. Leaflets 14 by 4^ in., oblong-elliptic, acuminate, rounded 

 or little narrowed at the base, coriaceous, entire, shining, glabrous above, with scat-

 packed without bracteoles. Fruit much longer than broad, 6-8-ribbed, steUately 

 white-tomentose, crowned by the broad short cluster of styles ; disc enlarged, some- 

 what corky.— Very unlike Faratrofia capitata W. & A. (a Braesaia), with, which, 

 legaidless of geography. Dr. Seeman united it.
