Malacca ; Maingay (Kew Destrib), No. 101. 
I have seen only Maingay'a Malacca specimens of fchia plant. 
15. Polyalthia macropoda, King n. Bp, A tree 50 to 60 feet 
high ; young branches rather pale, pubescent but speedily glabrous. 
Leaves membranous, oblong-lanceolate, shortly acuminate, the base 
acute ; the edge slightly re volute ; upper surface shining, glabrous 
except the puberulous silicate midrib; the lower paler when dry, 
minutely lepidote, sparsely strigoso on the midrib and 8 or i) pairs of 
curving rather prominent nerves ; length 3*5 to 5" 5 in., breadth 1*4 to 
2*1 in., petiole '25 in. Flowers nearly 1 in. long, in fascicles on short 
broad rugose woody tubercles from the stem close to its base : pedicels 
about 1 in. long, woody in fruit and 2 in. or more in length, glabrous ; 
braeteoles (if any) deciduous. Sepals broadly ovate, acute, spreading, 
corrugated and glabrescent outside, glabrous inside, connate at the base 
to form a cup *65 in. in diam. Petals elliptic, blunt, slightly constricted 
about the middle, sub-equal, puberulous, coriaceous. Stamens numer- 
ous, compressed especially the outer rows ; apical process of connec- 
tive transversely elongated, truncate. Ovaries numerous, oblong-ovoid. 
Ripe fruit with large woody sub-globular torus 125 in. in diam. j ripe 
carpels numerous, oblong-ovoid, tapering to the apex, the base gradually 
narrowed into a stalk, 2'5 to 3'5 in. long (including the stalk) j pericarp 
rather fleshy, glabrous. Seed solitary, elongated-ovoid, grooved verti- 
cally. 
Perak • King's Collector, Singapore, Ridley. 
A species remarkable for its large ripe carpels borne on the stem 
near the ground. It is possible that Mr. Ridley's plant, collected in 
Singapore, may really belong to a distinct species, the only specimen of 
it which I have seen being very imperfect. This comes very near P. 
clavigera King. 
16. Polyalthia clavigera, King n. sp. A tree 30 to 40 feet high ; 
young branches slender, at first puberulous but speedily glabrous and 
pale. Leaves thinly coriaceous, oblong, tapering to each end, acuminate ; 
both surfaces reticulate; the upper shining, glabrous except the puberul- 
ous sulcate midrib; lower surface slightly puberulous at first but ulti- 
mately quite glabrous ! main nerves 7 pairs, ascending, curved, not 
inter-arching, slightly prominent beneath, obsolete above ; length 5 - 5 
to 8'5 in., breadth 1*75 to 2*5 in. ; petiole "4 in. slightly winged above. 
Flowers unknown. Peduncle of ripe fruit stoat, woody, 2 in. or more in 
length ; the torus depressod -globular, woody, about "5 in. in diam. : ripe 
carpeU ovoid-elliptic, tapering to each end, the base gradually passing into 
the stout puberulous slightly scabrid stalk, greenish-yellow when dry, 
glabrous : tho pericarp succulent : length 2 25 in, breadth nearly 1 in. j 
stalk 15 in. puberulous; seed solitary, ovoid.
