A SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION TO TEMENGOH. 95 
JUGLANDEAR. 
Engelhardtia spicata, Bl. Common in the Temengoh forests 
by the river. A very fine large tree reminding one of the 
-Ash-tree, not previously recorded from the peninsula, 
occurring in India to Tenasserim, Java and Cochin- 
China. 
Quercus minor, n. sp. 
A small sized tree for the genus about 20 feet tall. 
Leaves oblong oblanceolate acuminate acute, narrowed 
towards the base, obtuse, entire coriaceous dark shin- 
ing green, quite glabrous, nerves depressed above 
elevated below, 14 pairs; 8 to11 inches long, 2 inches 
wide, petiole thick 4 inch long. Panicle terminal large 
a foot long, spikes 6 inches long, rachis thickly velvety. 
Bracts and bracteoles lanceolate acuminate glabrous. 
Male flowers crowded towards the apex of the spike, 
more separate below. Perianth of 4-5 short rounded 
lobes densely hairy, disc pullvinate hairy. Stamens 
glabrous 8. Bracts elongate linear acuminate, usually 
slightly hairy. Fruit sessile distant or crowded. 
Cupule saucer shaped, margin revolute very shallow, 
outside covered with short bracts irregularly placed 
triangular with a short point, all velvety and hardly 
distinct, cupule inside finely silky, ¢ inch wide, barely 
covering 4 of the nut. Nut smooth glabrous yellow 
ocre. Ovoid cylindric, apex rounded, one inch long, 
? inch in diameter. 
Ulu Temengoh, open country near the village. 
One of the smallest sized oak trees I have seen in 
the peninsula. It seems most nearly allied to Ov. 
spicata, Sm. which ts indeed a very variable plant.

district. Lenggong, Temengoh, ete.
