NEW AND EAEE SPECIES OF MALAYAN PLANTS. 173 



STERCULIACEAE. 



Tarrietia unifoliolata, Eidl. n. sp. 



Big tree. Leaves unifoliolate, glabrous, coriaceous, peti- 

 ole 1 in. slender, thickened at tip, petiolule jointed on top .25 

 in., blade elliptic, subacute, base blunt, slightly inaequilateral 

 and narrowed; nerves slender about 18 pairs, 2.25 to 3.5 in. 

 long, 1-1.5 in. wide. Panicle about 4 in. long, pubescent. 

 Flowers numerous .08 in. long. Calyx tube longer than the 

 5 short ovate lobes pubescent. Stamens column short, thick, 

 andraecium globose, much shorter than calyx lobes. Carpels 

 in female flowers 5. 



Malacca (B. Derry). 



Xative name " Ivamuning hutan." Used as timber for 

 construction while the plant is also used medicinally. This 

 species is very near T. jav'anica, Bl. but the leaves are all 

 unifoliolate with slender pedicels. It is possibly a form of 

 that species but I think it will prove, when the fruit is known, 

 to be a distinct plant. 



Peniculifera, Eidl. n. gen. 



Tree. Leaves alternate distant oblong, lanceolate. Flow- 

 ers in short axillary fascicles. Petals free to base, oblong, 

 pubescent 5. Petals 5 linear, spathulate, hairy on inner sur- 

 face. Stamens in a tube, hairy, anthers at the top very small 

 5, alternating with cylindric processes, 5 large anthers sessile 

 at base of tube. Species one. 



Peniculifera penangensis, Eidl. n. sp. 



Apparently a tree. Leaves oblong lanceolate, cuspidate 

 acuminate, base round, chartaceous, nerves slender 8 pairs in- 

 arching 4-6 in. long .5 in. wide. Flowers about 12 in axillary 

 fascicles, on short .05 in. peduncles, pedicels shorter all pubes- 

 cent. Sepals .1 in. imbricate pubescent. Petals as long, hairy 

 on inner face, spathulate, round rather thick. Staminal tube 

 as long, funnel-shaped, very hairy. 



Penang, Government Hill at 1200 feet (Curtis 3745). 



The specimens resemble in appearance Leptonychia gla- 

 bra, Turez. 



Leptonychiopsis, Eidl. n. gen. 



Tree? branches puberulous. Leaves oblong elliptic cus- 

 pidate base blunt, chartaceous alternate stipulate. Flowers 

 small in axillary very short racemes. Sepals 3, valvate. 

 Petals 3. Stamens 6, connate at the base in a Ting, filaments 

 filiform, anthers subhastate, blunt alternating with 4 linear 

 staminodes. Ovary hairy 3-celled, ovules anatropous at least 

 2 superposed. Style filiform, stigma minute. Species one.
