Singapore: Bukit Timah, Bukit Mandai, Chan Chu 

 Kang (Ridlev) ; Malacca: Bukit Kandong (N. Cantlev's 

 coll.). 



The long narrow leaves with curiously undulate 

 margins in some specimens, and very numerous nerves 

 with the large flowers distinguish the plant from any 

 known to me.

 dry season when the leaves are fallen, bark grey corky 

 wrinkled. Leaves grey when dry obovate apex rounded 

 glabrous with 5 pairs of ascending nerves 3^ inches long

 lax panicles much branched and about 1-1^ inches long 

 on the ends of the nude branches stellate pubescent.

 linear obtuse hairy along the edges. Stamens six in a 

 globose capitulum on a filament as long as the tube.

 with 12 strong raised veins, stamens 5 sessile in a small 

 globose tuft. 



Lankawi islands: Kwah (Eidlev). Terutau (Curtis

Apparently nearest to 8. hi col or but with different

 I imagine it has been eaten off by something.
