Malacca; Griffin. — Disteib. Borneo. 



A small tree; branchlets round, puberulous or glabrate. Jjeajlet 7ihj 2| in., 

 punctnlate beneath, sessile, articulate on a petiole J in. Panicle a foot, one branch 

 15 by li in. in Griffith's example, rusty-pubescent; cymes distant ; bracts small, 

 caducous; pedicels 12-16 in., thickened in fruit. Cali/x shortly but distinctly 

 toothed, enlarged in fruit. Corolla nearly J in., tomentose, ochroleucous, the middle 

 lobe of the lower lip purple-lilac (Griffith). Drupe ^ in. or more, ovoid ; apex depressed. 

 — Wight supposed this to be mex macropht/lla, R. Br. (now removed to Qmelina by 

 Bentham) ; and it is so very like it, except in having narrow leaves, that it appears 

 unnatural to refer the two plants to different genera. 



** Peduncles all axillary, sometimes suhohsolete.

 mostly shorter than tie petioles. Sohauer in DC. Prodr. xi. 692; Kv/rs
