Santiria.] xxxvi. BUKSERACEiE. (Alfred W. Bennett.) 539 



Malacca, Maingay. 



Tree ; branohlets smooth, striate, pale brown. Leaves of flowering shoots 10-22 in. ; 

 petiole 3-6 in., striate and flat above; leaflets 5-6 by 1^-24 in., petiolule J-| in. 

 thickened at the apex. Panicle 10-12 in., peduncle 4 in., pedicels ,V in. Braeteoles 

 yeiy minute. Calyx and petals minutely paberulous and rather fleshy. Stamens 

 inserted below the margin of the crenate disk. Fruit unknown. 



9. S. fasclculata, A. W. Benn. ; leaflets 7 glabrous on both surfaces 

 elliptic or elliptic-oblong shortly obtusely cordate-acuminate, base acute, 

 midrib prominent above, lateral nerves about 8 depressed above prominent 

 below divaricate curving towards the margin, panicle exceeding the leaves 

 with long slender filiform puberulous branches bearing small distant fasci- 

 cles of minute flowers, bracts obsolete, calyx-lobes ovate acute, stamens 

 shorter than the petals. 



Malacca, Maingay. 



Tree ; branohlets sniooth with ashy-brown bark, heames of flowering shoots about 

 1ft.; petiole 2 in., with 2 lateral edges, scarcely flattened above, leaflets 4-5 in., 

 lJ-2_4 in. broad, petiolule about 1 in. transversely rugose thickened at either end. 

 Panicle rather longer than leaves, peduncle 37-4 in. long, pedicels twice as long or 

 shorter than flowers. Braeteoles obsolete. Wlowers about -^ in. long. Oalyx mi- 

 nutely hispid. Stamens inserted on the outer margin of the disk. Fruit unknown. — 

 This appears to agree very closely with the description of 8. virgata, Bl., except that 

 the leaves have the midrib tomentose beneath. 



9. TRXeOXrOCKXiAIIKYS, Hook. f.

 impaflpinnate with opposite petiolulate leaflets. Flowers polygamous. Calyx 

 large, 3-partite, valvate, persistent. Petals 3, valvate, about equalling calyx. 

 Disk annular. Stamens 6, inserted in the margin of the disk j filaments very- 

 short. Ovwry 3-celled, nearly globose ; style straight, short, stigma 

 3-lobed ; ovtxles 2 in each cell, axUe. Drupe obliquely globose, 1-celled.

1. T. Griffithil, Sook. f. in Trans. Linn. Soc. xxiii. 170, t. xxvii. ; 

 leaflets about 13-16 eUiptic-acuminate rather coriaceous with a very pro- 

 minent midrib, panicle axillary, shorter than the leaves, flowers rufous- 

 tomentose with 2 spathulate bracts at base of the pedicel, drupe glabrous 

 about the size of a cherry.

10. FXXiXCXUXa, Thwaites. 



A lofty tree with angular often scaly branches. Leaves imparipinnate, with 

 opposite sessile leaflets and broadly-winged rachis. Flowers polygamous. 

 Calyx 5-partite, imbricate, deciduous. Petals 5, small, imbricate. Disk 

 5-lobed, tomentose. Stamens 5, inserted within the disk, equal ; filaments 

 subulate, free. Ovary globose, 2-celled ; style bent, stigma simple or 

 2-lobed; ovules solitary in each cell, pendulous. Drupe fleshy, usually 

 1-celled, 1-seeded. 



1. P. declpiens, Thwaites Envm. 408 ; leaflets about 15 narrowly 

 elhptical quite glabrous sometimes glaucous, wing of rachis spathulate 

 between each pair of leaflets, drupe about the size of a large pea nearly 

 globose glabrous. BeM. Fl. Sylv. L t. 129. Pteridophyllum decipiens.
