young branches covered with minute soft deep brown tomcntnm. Leaves 
elliptic-oblong, to ovate-elliptic, acute or shortly and narrowly acumi- 
nate, slightly narrowed to the rounded sub-unequal base ; both surfaces 
minutely granular, the upper with a few scattered hairs ; the lower 
fuscous and more densely and softly pubescent, both the midrib and 
nerves tomentose or pubescent ; main nerves 6 or 7 pairs, spreading-, 
indistinct; length 3 to 5 in., breadth 1"4 to 18 in., petiole '1 in. Flowers 
solitary or in pairs, extra-axillary, about 25 in. in diam., pedicels dense- 
ly tomentose, "35 in. long, bracteolato. Sepals broadly ovate, sub-acute, 
densely tomentose outside, glabrous inside, persistent in the fruit. Petals 
sub-equal, thick, sub-orbicular, very tomentose outside, glabrous inside. 
Hipe cm-pels few, sometimes solitary, ovoid, blunt, slightly oblique at the 
base and slightly narrowed to the stalk, minutely velvety-pubescent, 5 in. 
long and 35 in. in diam. ; stalks '2 in., tomentose ; torus small. Seed 
solitary, glabrous, rugose, vertically farrowed. 
Perak, at Kinta ; at elevations under 1,000 feet; King's Collector. 
A species very like P. fusca t but with shorter, fewer-nerved leaves; 
evidently not common. None of the collectors' specimens have fully 
developed flowerB, and the foregoing description of these is taken from 
;t lm.l.

A tree ; young branches softly rusty-tomentoKc, when older black and 
rugose. Leaves elliptic-oblong to elliptic, acute or shortly acuminate, 
the base rounded, slightly unequal-sided ; both surfaces, but especially the 
lower, softly pubescent; main nerves about 10 pairs, slightly prominent, 
spreading; length 4*5 to 5'5 in., breadth 1*75 to 3 in.; petiole *1 in., 
tomentose. Flowers cxtra-axillnry, sub-sessile, 25 in. in diam. Sepals 
broadly ovate, connate, slightly smaller than the petals. Petals slightly 
unequal, villous outside, glabrous inside ; the outer ovate, thick ; the 
the inner larger, very thick and concave, oblong, conn i vent. Stamens 
about 25. Ovaries 7 to 9, oblong, pubescent ; ovules 2. Ripe carpels 
globose, slightly pubescent, *5 to 74 in. in diam., 2-seedcd ; their stalks 
*35 in., pubescent.

I am not satisfied that there are not two species involved here, the 
one with broader leaves and shorter pubescence.
