Knema oblongata sp, noy. 
Arbor, ramulis dense ferrugineo-ciliato-tomentosis, ramis 
glabris; foliis oblongis,, chartaceis vel subcoriaceis, 20-40 cin. 
longis, acuminatis, basi rotundatis, rariter subacutis, supra glabris, 
laevibus nitidis pallidis vel brunneis, subtus pallidioribus et leviter 
ciliato-pubescentibus, nervis utrinque circiter 33, supra leviter 
impressis, subtus valde perspicuis, reticulis subtus distinctis, supra 
subobsoletis; fructibus pedicellatis, ellipsoideis, 2.5-3 em. ‘longi, 
dense ferrugineo tomentosis, indumento plumoso, stills apice tan- 
tum laciniato. , 
A tree about 8 m. high, the branchlets densely ferruginous- 
cilate-tomentose, the branches glabrous or nearly so. Leaves ob- 
long, chartaceous to ; -ubeoriaceous, § 20 to +0 cm. ‘long, 4° to 20 7eme 
wide, the apex distinctly acuminate, the base rounded, rarely sub- 
acute, the upper surface glabrous, smooth, shining, brownish or 
pale when dry, the lower surface paler, sometimes more or less 
glaucous, more or less ciliate-pubescent, the indumentum pale or 
ferruginous, rather dense along the midrib, scattered and more or 
less deciduous on the surface; lateral nerves about 23 on each side 
of the midrib, slightly impressed on the upper surface, very pro- 
minent on the lower surface, anastomosing, the reticulations rather 
close, distinct on the lower surface, but indistinct or often nearly 
obsolete on the upper surface: petioles rather stout, ferruginous- 
pubescent, 1 to 1.5 cm. long. Fruits axillary and in the axils of 
fallen leaves, ellipsoid, 2.5 to 3 em. long, densely ferrugimous- 
tomentose, the indumentum distinctly plumose. Aril lacerate only 
near the apex. Pedicels stout, ferruginous-pubescent, 8 to 10 mm. 
long. 
British North Borneo, Batu Lima near Sandakan, Ramos 
1433, 1721, 1757, 16638 (type), October and November, 1920; 
Agama 1003, November, 1920. On forested slcves at low altitudes 
locally known as dara-dara. A species apparently most closely 
alhed to Anema laurina Warb, from which it is distinguished by 
its more numerous nerves and by the reticulations being nearly 
obsolete on the upper surface. ‘The leaves are also much larger 
than in Warburg’s species, while the fruits are distinctly pedicelled.

obscure acuminatis, basi plerumque rotundatis, supra olivaceis, 
nitidis, subtus brunneis, nervis utrinque 14-20, subtus valde 
perspicuis, reticulis subparallels, utrinque distinctis; floribus 
fasciculatis, pedicellatis, 7 ad 8 mm. longis, lobis ovatis vel oblong- 
ovatis, 4.5-5 mm. longis; ¢ 8-9 mm. diametiro, lobis) late 
ovatis, disco stamineo breviter stipitato, distincte triangulare, 2
