both surfaces, the outer surface with some small superficial scales, tlie

Perak: Scortechini, No. 1990. 
Scortechini's are the only specimens I have soon, and they bavo 
flowers only.

As regards leaves, this closely resembles Popowia nitida, King — a 
plant of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands ; and there is reason to 
believe that some specimens of that Popowia from those islands bavo 
been issued from the Calcutta Herbarium as JJvaria micrantha. I am 
also of opinion that JJvaria sumatrana, Kurz Andaman Report, 29, 
and of Hook. fil. and Thome. Fl, B. Ind. I, 51, is possibly Popowia nitida t 
King.
