A glabrous tree the branches and branehlets mostly straw- 

 colored, the brandies terete, the branehlets about 2 mm. in 

 diameter, 4-angled or silicate, nearly smooth. Leaves opposite, 

 snbeoriaceons, oblong, 7 to 12 cm. long, 2.5 to 4 cm. wide, 

 subequally narrowed to the acuminate base and apex, the apex 

 subacute, margins slightly recurved, the upper surface sub- 

 olivaceous, slightly shining, minutely verruculose, the lower 

 surface pale, the glands scattered, distinctly visible to the 

 naked eye ; primary lateral nerves about 20 on each side of the 

 midrib, slender, obscure, scarcely more distinct than are the 

 secondary ones, anastomosing with the equally obscure mar- 

 ginal nerves close to the edge of the leaf ; petioles 10 to 12 mm. 

 long. Cymes terminal and in the upper axils, 1 to 2 cm. 

 long, few-flowered, the axillary ones mostly 3-flowered, the 

 terminal ones trichotomous, each branch 3-flowered, the bracts 

 oblong, coriaceous 3 to 4 mm. long, acute, somewhat keeled, 

 the two bracteoles subtending each flower ovate or elliptic- 

 ovate, rounded, somewhat concave, thickly coriaceous, 2 mm. 

 long. Flowers all sessile, 4-merous. Calyx 3 to 4 mm. long, 

 slightly narrowed below, subterete, rugose, pale when dry, 2 to 

 2.3 mm. in diameter at the throat, the lobes broad, rounded, 

 0.3 mm. long, 1.2 mm. wide. Petals united into a deciduous

Sarawak, Tabwan road and Bock road, Native collector 

 255, Sll {Bur. Sci,), May and June, 1911, with the local 

 names malaban and malaban paya. 



A species readily recognizable by its short, few-flowered, 

 axillary and terminal cymes, straw-colored branches and 

 branehlets, and obscurely nerved, distinctly glandular-punctate 

 leaves. It is named in honor of Captain J. C. Moulton, for- 

 merly Director of the Sarawak Museum, who supervised the 

 work of our native collector.
