38 NEW OR RARE MALAYAN PLANTS. 



about 6 inches. Peduncles and pedicels angled, grooved 

 pubescent when young. Bracts small caducous, ovate 

 edges pubescent. Pedicels shorter than the flowers. 

 Sepals rounded ovate pubescent especially on the margins 

 much shorter than the petals. Petals oblong lanceolate 

 obtuse glabrous outside, pubescent on the inner face, 

 J inch long. Stamens 5 filaments slender glabrous 

 shorter than the petals. Anthers ovate. Ovary sub- 

 globose glabrous. Fruit small, as big as a pea, petals J 

 inch long. 



Pahang: Gunong Tahan (Robinson 5391). 



In working over the study set of the Gunong Tahan 

 plants in the British Museum, I only saw fruiting 

 specimens of this tree but in specimens of other sets I 

 was fortunate enough to find flowers, so I herewith des- 

 cribe it, as it seems to be distinct from any other species. 

 The fruit appears to be nearly full size and is very small 

 for the genus. The leaves are not pale colored under- 

 neath, as in most species, and the petals are pubescent 

 within. This species is most closely allied to 8. 

 puberula, Pears, of Bujong Malacca, in Perak, differing 

 in its larger leaves with fewer veins, and its petals glab- 

 rous outside, and less pubescent angled pedicels. 

 Campnosperma oxyrrliachis, Engl. Anacard. 319. Of this 

 plant only the leaves have apparently ever been described, 

 and I have seen no type, but the plant to be described 

 below has been identified many years ago at Kew as 

 C. oxyrrliachis and the leaves resemble the description 

 given, so I propose to describe the inflorescence, and 

 habit. 



A small straight tree not rare in open country, 

 among thickets but seldom flowering, little branched. 

 Leaves oblanceolate winged completely to the base, mar- 

 gins undulate apex cuspidate gradually narrowed to the 

 base, epetiolate 15 inthes to 3£ feet long 4J-7 inches 

 wide, above glabrous shining when dry, nerves over 30 

 pairs fine and not very' conspicuous above, elevated be- 

 neath reticulations conspicuous numerous beneath, back
