"Rengas Kerbau Jalang " This gives a very fine 

 timber known as Red Rengas according to Burn- 

 Murdoch. There is a plant in the Botanic gardens raised 

 from seed brought from the Dindings in 1894 which is 

 now about 8 feet tall. The leaves are much larger in 

 the young plant, some being 8 inches long and of 

 a bright green. Compared with Sir George King's 

 description this plant only differs in the. leaves not 

 being thickly coriaceous, though rather stiff when dry, 

 arTd the nerves are quite visible on both surfaces and 

 prominent on the underside, the petiole too is not 

 channelled but distinctly flat, but there is some variation 

 in the foliage. 



Gl. lanceolata, n. sp. 



A big tree. Leaves narrowly lanceolate obtuse 

 narrowed into a long slender petiole, coriaceous 

 blade 6 inches long, 2 inches wide, nerves rather 

 inconspicuous about 12-14 hairs, reticulations conspi- 

 cuous, petiole 1-^ to 3 inches long. Panicles 4 inches 

 long much resembling those of Gl. Wrayi pubescent. 

 Calyx half the length of the corolla, tubular split on one 

 side, pubescent. Petals linear oblong obtuse 5 back 

 pubescent tip tufted with hairs, and a band of hairs 

 down the centre of the inner face. Stamens considerable 

 longer than the petals, filaments very slender. Ovary 

 sub-globose quite glabrous, style lateral rather long. 

 Fruit unripe globose glabrous black.
