rufous-tomentoso as are the inflorescence and petioles. Leaves coria- 
ceous, oblong or elliptic-oblong (rarely slightly ob-ovate), very shortly 
acuminate or sub-acute, slightly nurrowed to the rounded or sub- 
cuncate base; upper surface shining, sparsely stellate-totnentose, t be 
depressed midrib and nerves puberulous ; lower surface scaberulous, 
more densely stellate-pubescent, especially on the bold midrib and 20 to 
impairs of stout spreading main nerves ; length 3"5 to 6'5 in., breadth 
l b to 2 75 in., petiole *6 to *8 in. Panicles axillary and terminal, 3 to 7 
in. long, the ultimate branches bearing 4 or 5 distichous, seeund, brac- 
teate, sessile flowers ; bracts broadly ovate, puberulous outside. Sepals 
ovate, the two inner smaller, all densely golden-sericeous outside, 
glabrous inside. Petal* like the sepals and of about the same length, 
the inside and one-half of the outer glabrous, the other half adpress- 
ed-sericeous. Stamens about 40, in several rows ; the filaments of the 
outer shorter, all longer than the anthers ; anthers ovate, mostly in- 
appeudiculate, a few with a minute appendix. Ovary elongated, conic, 
sericeous; the style short, glabrous ; stigma small. Fruit (immature) 
narrowly ovoid, '5 in. long, embraced by, but not adnate to, the accres- 
cent membranous calyx-wings: the outer 3 calyx-wings linear-oblong 
obtuse, narrowed to the base, 3*5 in. long and "6 in. broad, 10-nerved ; 
the 2 inner in, long and much narrower and fewer- nerved, sparsely 
pubescent.

This resembles S. lacunosa SehefL, but differs in not having persis- 
tent stipules. Its vernacular name in Penang is Seraya. 
5. SnuitEA farvifolia, Dyer in Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind., I., 305. A tree 
100 to 150 feet high ; young branches slender, pale tomentose at first, 
ultimately glabrous, dnrk-eoloured and lenticellate. Leaves coria- 
ceous, ovate to ovate- lanceolate, caudate-acuminate, the base snb- 
ouneate or almost rounded} upper surface glabrous (when young the 
midrib tomentose or pubescent) ; under surface sparsely scaly-pubescent 
when young, when adult minutely pubescent, the transverse veins thick ; 
main nerves 9 to 12 pairs, oblique, rather straight, prominent beneath : 
length 2"5 to 4 in., breadth 1 to 1*8 in. ; petiole *35 to *45 in., tomentose 
when young. Panicles axillary and terminal, crowded near the ends 
of the branches, 2 to 4 in. long, rather lax, spreading, many-flowered, 
minutely tomentose, the branches distichous. Flowers '25 in. long, 
Keennd, distichous, deciduously bracteate. Sepals slightly unequal, 
ovate, acute, tomentose outside, glabrous inside. Petals twice as long 
as the sepals, obliquely elliptic, obtuse, glabrous, except on one- 
half outside which is silky. Stamens 15, or fewer : the filaments flatten-
