Perak: Ulu Slim, King's Collector, No. 10664. Ulu Bubong, 
King's Collector, No. 10126. Distrib., Borneo ; Motley, No. 960. 
Motley's Bornean specimen above-qnoted is in flower only j bnt it 
so entirely resembles in leaves and wood those of my collector in Porak 
which are in fruit only, that I have ventured not only to consider them 
as belonging to the same species, bnt to draw up the above description 
of the flowers from the Bornean and of the fruit from tho Perakian 
specimens. The species resembles 0. fulvus in leaves and flower and 
O. malayanus in flower. The fruit is more like that of a Uvaria than of 
a Goniothalamus, having 4, sub-horizontal, rugose seeds.
