diameter, of five, prominent, densely pubescent, somewhat 2- 

 lobed glands. Ovary ovoid, densely pubescent, 5-celled; style 

 3 mm. long, somewhat pubescent in the lower one-half. 



Sarawak, Baram District, Baram, I Jose 699 (type), 110, 

 April, 1895 and October, 1694. 



From the 5-celled ovary this species probably belongs to 

 the section Ganiirus, but it may be a species of the section 

 Dicera. some of which have 5-celled ovaries. It some- 

 what resembles Elaeocarpus stipularis, Blume. but is distin- 

 guished by its fewer-nerved leaves which are glabrous except 

 the midrib and nerves; there are no stipules on the specimens 

 examined. From Elaeocarpus ganiirus, Roxb. it is distinguish- 

 ed by its fewer-nerved leaves, its anthers on distinct filaments, 

 and other characters.

 pubescentibus, partibus vetustioribus glabris ; floribus 5-meris, 



6 ad 7 mm. longis; sepalis in siccitate nigris, lanceolatis,

A tree, entirely glabrous except the sparingly cinereous- 

 pubescent inflorescence and the buds at the tips of the branch- 

 lets. Brandies terete, brownish, the younger parts dark red- 

 dish-brown. Leaves numerous, oblong-ovate, subcoriaceous, 

 pale and shining when dry, 5 to 8 cm. long, 2 to 3.5 cm. 

 wide, apex slenderly and prominently acuminate, base acute, 

 subacute, or sometimes slightly rounded, margins obscurely 

 and distantly glandular-denticulate, the apiculate tins of the 

 teeth black, appressed, the upper surface smooth, the lower 

 snbfoveolate by the close ultimate reticulations; lateral nerves 



7 on each side of the midrib, prominent on the lower surface, 

 curved, anastomosing; petioles 1.5 to 2.5 cm. long. Racemes 

 axillary, solitary, 5 to 6 cm. long, rather few flowered, sparing- 

 ly appressed cinereous-pubescent, the older parts glabrous or 

 nearly so. Flowers 5-merous, 6 to 7 mm. long, their pedicels 

 about 5 mm. long. Sepals black when dry, lanceolate, acu-
