NEW AND KARE MALAYAN PLANTS. 15 



Malacca. Mt. Opliir (Ridley 3285). 



Distinct in its very narrow elongate, coriaceous leaves, 

 gland-dotted above, finely reticulate beneath ending in a long 

 blunt tipped point and much narrowed to the base. 



G. puberula, Lindl. Wall. Cat. (5375; Oliv. I.e. 39; Hook. hi. Fl. 

 Brit. Ind. I. 501. 



A small leaved shrub with usually trifoliolate leaves and 

 red tomentose inflorescence and ovary. Fruit as big as a 

 pea, globose, glandular. 



Penaxg. (Walliclp 637 5 A and B) ; Government Hill at 

 500 feet (Curtis 88). Perak. (Scorteckini). A variety 

 with stiff coriaceous leaves with a broad blunt point, nerves in- 

 visible above. 



Wallich 6375B is labelled Singap(ore) but it may be 



doubted if it too did not come from Penang, as it has never 

 again been found so far south. 



G. rupestris, Eidl. is allied to G. puberula, but its ovary is always 

 glabrous, as is the whole inflorescence. 



Kedah. On Gunong Geriang, Pulau Adang, Eawei 

 Island; Perlis, on Bukit Lagi, (Ridley 15752). 



var. tomentosa, n. var. has the inflorescence red hairy though the 

 ovary is glabrous, but glandular. 



Kedah. Lankawi, Pulau Segai (Ridley 15566). Pulau 

 Adang (Ridley 15841: and 15843) both larger leaved than type. 

 Southern Siam. Koh Samui (Robinson). 



A plant very closely allied to G. rupestris, if not identical 

 specifically, was collected at Montalban in the Philippines in 

 the Province of Eizal (Lolier 6767 and 6771:) but the leaves 

 are all unifoliolate. 



BURSERACEAE. 



Santiria laxa, King. Canarium laxum, Benn. 



The female flowers of this tree have not been described. 

 They are distinctly larger than the male flowers, the blunt 

 oblong petals being .3 in. long and are borne on longer slender 

 pedicels, .5 in. or more in length. The stamens (abortive) are 

 as long as the pistil, the anther thick linear and blunt, longer 

 a little than the filament. The ovary is thick oblong and some- 

 what distinctly 3-lobed. The stigma sessile, large three-lobed, 

 thick and overlapping the ovary. 



Icicaster Planchoni, n. gen. 



I found the genus Icicaster for the plant formerly known 



B. A. Soc, No. 75, 1917.
