NEW AND BABE MALAYAN PLANTS. 93 



This pretty tree was by some error referred by numbers 

 at least to A. villosa by King and Gamble. It is most nearly 

 allied to A. ferruginea, Mez. of Jolior. and to A. Miqueliana, 



Teysm. but the leaves are larger and narrowed to the base. 



SAPOTACEAE. 



Palaquium calophylloides, n. sp. 



A big tree 50 to 60 feet tall. Leaves stiffly coriaceous 

 obovate. shortly blunt acuminate base cuneate, nerves very fine 

 and inconspicuous about 10 pairs, nearly parallel horizontal 

 forking at the tips, the secondary nervules and reticulations 

 as visible, midrib flat above strongly elevate acute beneath 4 

 inches long and 2.5 in. wide, petiole 1 in. long thickened and 

 rugose at base. Flowers in fascicles of 3 or 4 on tubercles 

 on the branch below the leaves, pedicels thick .25 in. long 

 pubescent. Calyx-lobes .1 in. long, outer three ovate, rounded 

 finely hairy, inner ones narrower, shorter lanceolate subacute. 

 Corolla .2 in. long, lobes oblong lanceolate subacute, tube much 

 shorter, all glabrous. Style a little longer than the petals. 



Kedah; Kedah Peak at 1,000 ft. (L. M. Bell and MM. 

 Aniff). 



This differs from P. Ridleyi, King and Gamble in the faint 

 obscure nerves and the two pairs of calyx lobes being dissimi- 

 lar. The pedicels are also tliicker and the corolla tube very 

 short. The set of Palaquiums to which this species belongs 

 are generally very scantily represented in herbaria on account 

 of the immense height of the trees usually 80 ft. to the first 

 branch and the small inconspicuous flowers. They include P. 

 bancanum. P. Bidlej/i, P. Harveyi and P. micro pln/llum. 



Pajena lanceolata, n. sp. 



A tree. The branchlets petiole and midrib in young 

 leaves red tomentose. Leaves thin coriaceous lanceolate short- 

 ly cordate acuminate base narrowed drying pale greenish, nerves 

 very fine 11-12 pairs, horizontal with the reticulations con- 

 spicuous below, midrib prominent 3 in. long. 1 in. wide, petiole 

 slender 1 in. long. Flowers in fascicles of 2-4 in the leaf 

 axils, pedicels stout .5 in. long, minutely pubescent. Calyx 

 glabrous outer lobes .2 inches thick ovate blunt, inner valvate 

 not meeting, edge ciliate. Corolla .5 in. long, tube as long as 

 the calyx, lobes oblong rounded, blunt. Filaments very short 

 18. anthers conic ovate, appendage very short, hairy. Style 

 and ovary glabrous. Style .4 in. long. 



Kedah. Lankawi on Gunong Baya {Aniff). 



Allied to P. lucida. but the leaves are very narrow more 

 stilt' exactly lanceolate, and flowers nearly glabrous.
