stone ovate-laTTceolate^ fibro-coriaceoua. Seed erect, adhering to the 
black tegnraeot on the one side, on the other etnooth ; cotyledons with

A largo tree with very sfcont young branches. Leaves crowded at tho 
apices of tho biunches, coriaceoas, auh-Bessile, oblanceotate or obovate- 
oblong or cime ate- oblong, sub-acute or shortly and obfcasely acuniinato, 
the edges aub-undulate, gradually ^larrowed from below the middle 
to the base, glabrous and the reticulations obsolete on both smfacea : 
main nerves 20 to 22 paii-s, slender but distinct on both snrfacea, the 
midrib also broad and distinct ; length 9 to 15 in., breadth 2'5 ta4 in. ; 
petiole sometimes •! to '3 in* but usually absent. Panklc large, termi- 
nnl, nmcb longer than, the leaves, 20 tft 30 in. long, on a stout angled 
peduncle covered by miimte white hairs with a few longer brown ones 
intermixed : branches of the panicle angled, spreading and dividing^ 
the flowers borne in cy mules at the ends of the branch 1 eta ; bract eoles 
broadly ovate, concave, pubescent, decidnoas. Flowers '25 in. long, of a 
rich pinkiah purple, their pedicels short. Sepak 5, erect, linear-lan- 
ceoiate» thick, concave, pubescent outside^ glabroHa inside. J*etah 5, less 
than twice as long as the sepals, erect, linear-lanceolate, concave, thick, 
the edges thickened and nntlulate, glabrous, with a single mesial rtdge 
in front. Stamen 1, shorter thau the petals : the anther ovate, short. Disc

This is a species closely allied to If- caeMU^ Jack, but the leaves of 
this are usually quite sessile and the panicle is greatly larger. Griffit!i*s 
Malacca specimens consist of leaves only, his description extends to 
the fruit, but not to the flowers. I have described the flowers fi-om 
Forbes 's Sumatra plant, tho leaves of which appear to mo to resemblo 
perfectly those of Griffith's Malacca specimens ; and they agi'ee to the 
minutest detail with Blumc's full description. The vernacular name in 
Malacca is, according to Griffith, Gamaitg which according to Blame 
changes on the Archipelago to Kemang, Kanmng and Eammiga.
