Sarawak, Santubong, Foxworthy Ilk, May 15, 190S r 

 known to the Dyaks as n urn pang. 



A very characteristic species on account of its large, 

 solitary, terminal, shortly pedicelled flowers, its six calyx- 

 lobes, and 8 or 9 corolla lobes, these floral characters being- 

 anomalous in the genus. It is perhaps as closely allied to 

 Fagraea monantha, Miq., as to any other species, but does not 

 conform to MiqueFs imperfect description in its terete 

 branches, longer petioles, pedicelled flowers, and 6-merous 

 calyx. Miquel does not describe the corolla of his species.

Glabra, ramis ramulisque teretibus, circiter 5 mm. dia- 

 metro, ramulis in siccitate pallidis: foliis anguste lanceolatis, 

 coriaccis, circiter 25 cm. longis et 2 cm. latis, tenuiter acu- 

 minatis, basi cuneatis, nervis utrinque circiter 12, obscuris 

 vel interdum obsoletis ; inflorescentiis terminalibus, racemosis, 

 pedunculatis, paucifloris ; floribus 5-meris, ad nodos inferiores 

 3 — 2, ad superiores 1. Species F. racemosae similis. 



Fagara xtenopliylla, Becc, as originally used, is a nomen 

 nudum, it being unaccompanied by any word of description, 

 but merely by the citation of Bcccari SS63, as representing 

 it. The figure cited is a photographic reproduction of a 

 single leaf, from which the species is determinable in .con- 

 nection with other Bornean material representing it. The 

 species is manifestly in the group with Fagraea racemosa, 

 Jack, and is well characterized by its very narrow leaves. The 

 short description given above is based on Native collector 2S28 

 {Bur. Sci.) from Selungo, Upper Baram, Sarawak, Xovember 

 26, 1911.
