t. 258a. 



This is one of the Plants known here as Rassak. 

 It seems to be rare here as I have only ><>v\\ it from 

 Snngei Morai in Singapore (4630 and 3619a of my col- 

 lections) and it is not recorded in King's Materials. It 

 has stiff lanceolate leaves quite smooth and polished above 

 and covered with a soft short grey tomentum of minute 

 stellate hairs, the nerves are almost invisible without a 

 lens. The flowers are very numerous in short panicles 

 all covered thickly with stellate woolly hairs about I 

 inch long. The fruit which I have not seen is described 

 as tomentose globular the two large wings free to the base 

 2 inches long, blunt, the other three linear lanceolate 

 acute and only f inch long. It is also a native of 

 Sarawak. 



Hopea globosa, Brandis I.e. 61. This is based on a plant 

 collected by Wray, at Thaiping, Perak. The only type 

 specimen I have seen is a poor one but I have collected 

 fruiting specimens of a tree rather small for this genus 

 at Chua Chu Kang, in Singapore (No. 6585) and have 

 also received it from Eantau Panjang, in Selangor under 

 the name of ('bengal Paya. The leaves are ovate acu- 

 minate 4 inches long, rather coriaceous with the nerves 

 prominent on the back. The fruit in Wray's specimen 

 seems young — it is pubescent and does not show the true 

 wing veins. In the others, adult, there are 7 distinct 

 nerves and the wings are glabrous. The large wings are 

 broad and elliptic half an inch wide, the small ones 

 quite small and rounded. Flowers of this tree are much 

 wanted.
