ANTIDESMA SARAWAKENSE sp. nov. 
Species praecedente affinis, differt nervis lateralibus magis 
numerosis, 20 ad 22 utrinque, stipulis late ovatis vel subrhomboi- 
deis, obtusis, basi truncatis ad subcordatis, 1.5 ad 3 cm longis, 
racemis 9 brevioribus, circiter 20 cm longis, pedicellis paullo 
longioribus. 
A glabrous shrub or small tree, the branches slender, terete. 
Leaves oblong-lanceolate, 20 to 28 cm long, 4 to 7 cm wide, 
brown and shining when dry, paler beneath, apex rather promi- 
nently acuminate, apiculate, base acute; lateral nerves 20 to 
22 on each side of the midrib, prominent, anastomosing and form- 
ing an arched intramarginal vein, the reticulations distinct; 
petioles about 1 cm long; stipules coriaceous, brown, shining, 
persistent, broadly ovate to subrhomboid, obtuse to rounded, 
base truncate to subcordate, 1.5 to 3 cm long, 1.2 to 2.5 cm wide. 
Fruiting racemes axillary, solitary, about 20 cm long. Fruits 
similar to those of Antidesma grandistipulum, their pedicels 5 
to 7 mm long. 
Sarawak, Rock Road, Native collector 503 (Bur. Sci. ) , July 27. 
Manifestly very closely allied to the preceding, but with more numerously 
nerved leaves, quite differently shaped stipules, shorter pistillate racemes, 
and longer pedicels. A full series of specimens may present intergrading 
forms, and thus ultimately lead to the reduction of the present species. 
Judging- from the material available, however, it is sufficiently distinct. 
ANTIDESMA HALLIERI sp. nov. 
Frutex vel arbor subtus foliis ad costa nervisque ramulis junio- 
ribus stipulisque plus minusve rubiginoso-pubescentibus ; foliis 
chartaceis, oblongis ad oblongo-lanceolatis, usque ad 18 cm longis, 
prominente caudato-acuminatis, basi acutis, nervis utrinque cir- 
citer 9; stipulis lanceolatis ad ovato-lanceolatis, tenuiter acumi- 
natis, 1 ad 2 cm longis; racemis 9 axillaribus, solitariis, usque 
ad 12 cm longis, floribus 5-meris, paucis, pedicellis sub fructu 
circiter 1 cm longis; fructibus subobovoideis, haud compress, 
rotundatis, stigmate sublateralibus. 
A shrub or tree, the young branchlets, petioles, stipules, and 
lower surface of the leaves on the midrib and lateral nerves 
more or less rubiginous-pubescent, some parts densely so. 
Branches slender, terete, glabrous, pale-grayish when dry. 
Leaves chartaceous, oblong to oblong-lanceolate, 12 to 18 cm long, 
3.5 to 4.5 cm wide, base acute, apex slenderly caudate-acuminate, 
the acumen usually about 2 cm long, the upper surface olivaceous, 
glabrous, the lower brown and prominently rubiginous-pubescent 
along the midrib and lateral nerves; nerves about 9 on each
