NEW OR RARE MALAYAN PLANTS. 123 



is in the Garden Jungle, a stump of one of these trees, 

 which has been felled upwards of fifty years ago. The 

 wood of this stump is still very hard, and very resinous. 

 On the top of the stump grows a fairly large tree of 

 Cumpassla Malaccensis. 



This plant has been distributed under, Singapore: 

 Garden Jungle (Ridley 5818, 8921); Malacca: Bukit 

 Sebukor (Derry 272). 



It is by no means as heavy a flowerer as F. fragrans, 

 and sets comparatively little fruit. 



I have little doubt that Blume's F. speciosa is this 

 plant, though he figures the flowers white. His plant 

 was obtained in Java.

This species is allied to D. malayana differing in its 

 taller stem, more silky foliage and longer white flowers.
