It flowers and fruits most of the year. The larger 

 broader leaves, the larger male flowers and the shape of 

 the fruit distinguish the plant readily.

This is omitted from the Materials. It is a fairly 

 large straggling tree found like most of the genus over- 

 hanging streams or rivers in forests. The leaves are 

 leathery and stiff lanceolate caudate acuminate 3 to 6 

 or 9 inches long, 1-2 inches wide quite glabrous, petiole 

 £-J inch long. The fruit is large an inch through the 

 sepals, ovate oblong rather longer leathery, scurfy outside 

 polished within, , I have not seen flowers of it, but have 

 it in fruit from Johore, collected by Kelsall at Sungei 

 Sembrong, and by myself on the river bank at Kota 

 Tinggi (4187) ; Pahang at Aver Hitam, near Pekan, 

 and from the Dindings where \\. Deny collected it, 

 This latter has unusually Jong narrow oblong leaves, but 

 I take it to be the same. It varies a good deal in the form 

 of the leaf. Kelsall gives the name " Buah Seinbawang " 

 for it.
