xi, c, 2 Merrill: Notes on the Flora of Borneo 67 
A shrub or small tree, nearly glabrous, the branches slender, 
terete, brownish, the younger ones somewhat striate. Leaves 
furfuraceous-lepidote, numerous, crowded, linear, 4 to 7 cm 
long, 4 to 7 mm wide, coriaceous, subequally narrowed to the 
cuneate base and rather blunt apex, the margins distantly cren- 
ulate, pale-greenish, rather dull when dry, entirely glabrous, 
the very young ones with few, scattered, pale, stellate scales, 
the basal glands rather prominent; lateral nerves about 6 on 
each side of the midrib, very obscure; petioles up to 3 mm in 
length. Racemes 3 to 6 cm long, sparingly stellate-furfuraceous 
or stellate-lepidote. Female flowers: Pedicels 1 to 1.5 mm long; 
sepals 5, oblong-ovate to ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, 2 to 2.5 mm 
long; petals none; ovary ovoid, pale stellate-pubescent, about 1.5 
mm long, 3-celled; style arms spreading, 1.5 mm long. Male 
flowers above on the same inflorescence, more numerous than 
the female, about 4 mm in diameter, their pedicels 1.5 mm long. 
Sepals oblong-ovate, acute. Petals linear-oblong, flat, 1.6 mm 
long, margins prominently white-ciliate or lanate. Stamens 10; 
filaments about 2 mm long.

(original number 21), October 30, 1914. 
A very strongly marked species, readily recognized by its very narrow, 
linear, distantly crenulate, coriaceous leaves, which at maturity are entirely 
glabrous, but when young with few, scattered, stellate-lepidote scales. 
I know of no species to which it is closely allied. It probably belongs 
in the group with Croton heterocarpus Muell.-Arg.
