the axes, pedicels, bracteoles and bracts densely covered with large 
loose scales i bracts enveloping the bnds 2, broadly ovate, blunt. SepaU 
5, valvate, wide and saccate at the base, the apices narrowed, glabrous 
inside, densely covered outside with loose lanre scales. Petals narrowly 
oblong, obtuse, more than twice as long as the sepals. Stamens as in 
I). Malacceiisis. Ovary oblong, densely covered with loose, flat, sessilo 
scales. Style shorter than the stamens, pubescent, sparsely scaly. 
Stigma capitate. Fruit (according to Bcccari) on long peduncles, 
globose, 4 iu. in diam., with 4 or 5 slight superficial grooves, densely 
covered with short broad pyramidal spines. Seeds sub-ovate, obtuse, 
angled ; the arillua short, thin, cup-shaped.

Var. 1. Pinangiana, Becc. 1. c. 216. Leaves narrowly lanceolate, 
acuminate, 2'5 to 3 5 in. long by *6 to "9 in. broad. Flowers smaller than 
in the typical form : fruit unknown. 
Penang, at 2,500 feet; Curtis No. 293. This variety, of which only 
imperfect specimens have as yet been obtained, will probably, when full 
material shall be forthcoming, prove to be a distinct species. 
Var. 2. macrophylla, King. Leaves 10 to 17 in. long, 2 5 to 5 - 5 in. 
broad, the edge sometimes with a single shallow indentation. Racemes 
3 in. long, many-flowered, with numerous bracteoles. 
Perak ; Kunstler 7497, Wray 8807, No fruit of this variety has 
as yet been collected. Like the last, it may prove to be a distinct 
species. 
5. D. Wrayh, King, n. sp, A large tree ; yonng branches very 
slender ami, like the petioles and under surface of midrib, covered with 
rather large adpreased pale brown scales. Leaves narrowly elliptic- 
oblong with caudate acuminate apex and rounded base ; upper surface 
quite glabrous, lower closely covered with thin adpressed silvery scales 
smaller than these on the midrib ; main nerves 10 to 12 pairs, sub- 
horizoutal, faint: length 5'5 to 8'5 in., breadth 2 to 2 5 in,, petiole *75 
iu. Flowers nearly 2 in. long, from the branches ; pedicels of individual 
flowers rather more than 1 in. long, with many large loose scales. 
Bmcts 3, broadly ovate, connate. Calyx cup-shnped, the mouth with 
5 broad, rather deep, sub-acute teeth ; inside glabrous, outside covered 
with large adpressed silvery scales as are also the bmcts. Petals 
1"5 in. long, oblanceolate, or spathulate-clawed, the claw very narrow, 
pubescent on both surfaces but especially on the outer. Stamens in 
5 phalanges united at the bases only, each phalange dividing into 5 or 0 
processes at the apices of which are born about 8 narrow reniform 
authors dehiscing by their edges. Ovary broadly ovoid, loosely scaly.
