descriptions of the latter species, are entirely distinct from the 

 Philippine E. monocera, Cav. The Bornean specimen, cited 

 above, agrees perfectly with the descriptions of Elaeocarpus- 

 littoralis, T. & B., and with Indo-China specimens collected bv 

 Thorel.

Foxworthy's specimen agrees so exactly with King's ex- 

 tended description that I have no hesitation in referring it 

 to Wallich's species, although I have seen no named specimens 

 representing it. The species is definitely reported from 

 Penang, Malacca, Perak, and Singapore. The closely allied 

 Monoceras palembanicuni, Miq., of Sumatra is described as 

 having leaves rather long acuminate.

The specimens cited above agree perfectly with King's 

 description and with a large series of specimens representing 

 the species from the Malay Peninsula and Singapore. This 

 form is doubtless the basis of the Bornean reference given by 

 Masters in Hook. f. Fl. Brit. Ind. 1 (1874) 408 under Elaeo- 

 carpus acronodia, Mast. 



Elaeocarpus paniculatus, Wall. Cat, (1831) No. 2663, nomen

 to the Dyaks as umpuldu : Baram, Hose 291 ; near Kuching r 

 Native collector 120, 2153 (Bur.ScL). 



The Bornean material agrees closely with our fine series 

 of specimens representing Wallich's species from the Malay 

 Peninsula. The petals are slightly and obscurely toothed at 

 the apex, this being true of some of the specimens from the 

 Malay Peninsula, although King described them as entire.
