Singapore: Gardens (Ridley 6015). 



There are two or three of these fine trees in the Garden 

 Jungle. The finest is a conspicuous object by the plant 

 sheds growing close to a still taller Palaquium bancanum. 

 The underside of the leaves is covered with a layer of 

 coppery silvery scales circular in outline with numerous 

 irregular teeth on the margin. These scales also occur 

 on the upper surface of the young leaves. The Male 

 flowers are produced in great abundance rosy pink in 

 color. The females seem much scarcer. I have failed 

 to find any on my specimens. The fruit has a much 

 more distinct wing than has II. littoralis the common 

 sea shore tree, but it is not sufficiently large to act in 

 dispersing the plant. The fruits indeed simply fall in 

 great quantities beneath the tree and most of them 

 perish after a short time.
