The specimen presents very young buds, and I refer it to 

 Elaeocarpus polystachyus, Wall., a species previously known 

 from Malacca and Singapore, with some doubt. It differs 

 from our material representing Wallich's species in its very 

 densely tawny-tomentose branchlets petioles and midrib, on 

 the lower surface of the leaves. It is, at least, very close to 

 Wallich's species, although mature material may show it to be 

 specifically distinct.

The above specimens were all originally identified as 

 Elaeocarpus stipularis, Blume, and conform to our large series 

 of specimens, so named, from the Malay Peninsula. However, 

 Koorders and Yaleton* state that the Javan species is not the 

 same as the one from the Malay Peninsula described by 

 Masters, and the form figured by Koordersf is apparently dis- 

 tinct from that of the Malay Peninsula and Borneo. Elaeo- 

 carpus gambir, Becc, is very imperfectly described, but Dr. 

 Beccari has kindly supplied me with material from the type, 

 and also fragments of Beccari, 3191 and 2J+86, and a specimen 

 collected by Riedel in Billiton, all of which' apparently re- 

 present the same species. 



Elaeocarpus beccarii, Aug. DC. in Bull. Herb. Boiss. II 3 

 (1903)367. 



The type of this is Beccari 5^0, from Sarawak, a frag- 

 ment of which has kindly been sent to me by Dr. Beccari. 

 The species is represented by the following specimens : Satire 

 collector 124, 1^5, 1500, 1960 (Bur. Sci.), Sarawak Museum 

 97, with the native name sanga dudok, and a specimen collect- 

 ed May 11, 1893, from Kuching, collector not indicated.
