the apical tail is sometimes as much as '75 in., breadth '8 to 1*2 in. ; 

 petiole '2 in. Male flowers 15 in. in diam., in axillary fascicles of 2 or 

 3 ; buds globose, pedicels "15 in. ; perianth reflexed, sepals 4, the outer 

 less than half as large as the inner pair, all orbicular, sub-coriaceous and 

 concave ; petals 4, ovate-orbicular, blunt, with a thickened spot near 

 the base, covering the stamens in bud ; stamens numerous, on both 

 surfaces of 4 fleshy processes ; anthers sessile, globular-oblong, the con- 

 nective rather thick, 2-celled, dehiscence vertical ; rudy. style cylindric, 

 convex, smooth. Female flowers axillary, solitary, pedicels as in the 

 male ; sepals 4, orbicular, thin, concave, about the same size as the petals 

 and neither sepals nor petals quite covering the stigma in bud : petals 

 4, orbicular, concave, with a coloured thickened spot near the base ; 

 disk lobed, shallow, fleshy : staminodes none ; ovary cylindric ; stigma 

 hemispheric, smooth, entire, enveloping the whole of the ovary, ulti- 

 mately becoming discoid and slightly depressed in the middle. 



Perak ; on Ulu Batang Padang and on Gunong Batu Pateh, at 

 elevations of 4,500 feet and upwards. Wray, Nos. 267, 362, 1527 ;

I have not seen ripe fruit of this, but (from the appearance of a 

 young one) it is probably ovoid. In its leaves, this species rather re- 

 sembles O. merguensis and rostrata. 



6. Garcinia diversifolia, King, n. sp. A tree 40 to 60 feet high ; 

 young branches rather thick, 4-angled, yellowish. Leaves lanceolate 

 and sub-acute, to elliptic and shortly and bluntly cuspidate, the base 

 always cuneate ; upper surface shining, the lower dull, slightly pale 

 when dry ; midrib prominent on both surfaces ; the nerves numerous, 

 about '05 in. apart, spreading, straight, visible on the upper, invisible 

 on the lower surface ; length of the lanceolate form 3'5 to 4'5 in., 

 breadth 15 to 1*75 in.; length of the elliptic form 2 - 5 to 4'25 in. ; 

 breadth 1*4 to 2'75 in., petiole '2 to - 4 in. Male flowers "75 in. in diam., 

 in 3 to 6-flowered, bracteolate, axillai-y cymes ; buds globular- ovoid ; 

 pedicels unequal, from "2 to :4. in. ; bracteoles orbicular, fleshy: sepals 4, 

 orbicular, fleshy, concave, the outer pair small, united by their bases and 

 sometimes irregularly denticulate, inner pair as large as the petals: 

 petals 4, ovate-orbicular to orbicular, fleshy, concave ; stamens very 

 numerous, occupying both sides of 4 fleshy processes : anthers sessile, 

 2-celled, the connective thick, bifid, bearing at its upper part the two 

 sub-orbicular suturally-dehiscent cells: rudy. pistil with cylindric style 

 thickened upwards : the stigma large, hemispheric, entire, sub-papillose. 

 Female flowers in cymes like the males but fewer-flowered and often 

 terminal, perianth as in the male ; staminodes apparently none ; ovary 

 depressed-globose, smooth: stigma sessile, discoid, entire, its suiface
