Perak, Scortechini, King's Collector; at low elevations, 
A tree 30 to 40 feet high, approaching A. Scortechitu in externals,

nate, more or less obscurely serrulate ; the base rounded, rarely aeute ; 
upper Burfaco glabrous except the pubescent midrib and nerves ; under 
surface minutely and softly tomeutose, the midrib and 14 to 16 pairs 
of rather straight nerves and the transverse secondary nerves promi- 
ment ; length 4"5 to 7 in , breadth 1 '5 to 2"5 in., petiole *1 to *2 in. j

S. 683. 
Usually a tree, and sometimes attaining tho height (fide Kunstler) 
of 70 feet. But also, according to the same collector, found as a shrub 
6 to 8 feet high. This is allied to the Burmese species A. mollis, H. f. 
and Th., which however, besides having the anthers of a Prosthesia, 
has much smaller cymes, and broader bracteoles and sepals. 
12. A. EcniNOCARPA, Korth. in Ned. Kruidk. Arch. II, 360. A small 
tree, the young branches fulvous or ferruginous-tomeutose. Leaves 
membranous, shortly poliolate, obovate or ovate-elliptic, abruptly and 
shortly acuminate, boldly and unequally serrato, tho base rounded or 
narrowed; upper surface glabrous except the pubescent midrib and 
nerves; the lower softly pubescent, tho midrib, 11 to 15 pairs of nerves 
and transverse secondary nerves pale and prominent: length 6 - 5 to 9 in,,
