Malacca; Maingay No. 256 (Kew Distrib.). Penang; Stoliczka ; on 
Government Hill at 2,500 feet, Curtis, No. 1092. 
The Malacca and Penang specimens agree with a specimen at Kew 
which Miquel has named E. foment osus, Bl. The two species are no 
doubt close together : but Blnme describes the leaves of his E. tomen- 
tosus, as "setaceous-denticulate" which is not the case here. This tree 
appeais to be uncommon, for Herbarium specimens of it are very few. 
22. ELiEOCARPTJS pdkctatus, King, n. sp. A small tree ; all parts 
glabrous except t he puberulous inflorescence ; young branches thicker than 
a crow-quill, rough. Leaves coriaceous, oblong-lanceolate, acute, the edges 
cartilaginous, crenate or serrate, sometimes with n short seta on each 
tooth, the base much narrowed into the petiole, entire : both surfaces 
Binning j main nerves 8 to 10 pairs, slender but distinct beneath as ate 
the reticulations : length 1*75 to 3 in., breadth *5 to 1*1 in,; petiole "25 
to "3 in., channelled in front. Racemes axillary and from the axils of 
fallen leaves, much shorter than the leaves; rachises and pedicels pu- 
berulous, becomiug glabrescent. Flowers *25 in. in diam., their pedicels 
2 in., recurved. Sepals 4, oblong-lanceolate, sab-acute, puberulous on 
both surfaces, the edges thickened and pubescent but uot recurved : 
midrib thickened insirle. Petals 4, obo void-oblong, apex obtuse with 5 
to 7 short broad teeth, glabrous. Torus a shallow wavy pubescent cup. 
Stamens 8 to 12 ; filaments less than half as long as the scaberuloas 
obtuse beardless awnless anthers: the cells sub-equul, Geary ovoid, 
glabrous, slightly grooved, 2-celled. Style about as long as the ovary, 
cylindric, grooved, puberulous. Fruit oblong-ovoid, pointed, narrowed 
to both ends, glabrous, shining, pule, '5 in. long and .'25 in. in diam. ; 
pulp thin, and slightly fibrous; stone crnstaceous, sharply rugose, 1- 
celled by abortion, l-seeded. Elacocarpus Acronodia t Mast, in Hook. fil. 
Fl. Br. Ind. i. 408 in part. Acrouodia punctata, Bl. Bijdr. 123; Miq. Fl. 
Ind. i. pt. 2, p. 213. 
Perak; on Ulu Batang Padang, at 5000 feet, Wray Malacca. 
Distrib. Java, Sumatra. 
The leaves cf specimens from Java and Sumatra are larger than 
those froni Perak and have numerous black dots on the lower surface, 
whereas those from Perak have no such dots. In other respects the 
specimens agree : but the Perak material which I have as yet seen is 
scanty. The plant issued by Wallich as E. punctatus, (No. 2676 of his 
Catalogue) is not the Acronodia punctata of Blume, but an altogether 
different plant. Wallich "s specimens are very bad, and Dr. Masters 
(Fl. Br. Ind. i. 406) suggests that perhaps the leaves are those of a 
Pterospermum ; in reality they belong to a species of Parinarium.
