long, the lamina 4.5-6. 5 cm long 1.2-1. 8 cm wide, somewhat narrowly 
and obliquely elliptic, at the apex at first gradually and then abruptly 
contracted into an obtuse or subacute acumen 1.2-1. 5 cm long, or some- 
times decreasing by 2 or 3 abrupt contractions, at the base acute or 
cuneate, slightly winging the apex of the petiolule; base of petioles 
sheathing stem at leaf-insertions.

PALAQUIUM Blanco. 
Palaquium polyandrum sp. nov. 
Arbor; floribus plerumque in foliorum delapsorum axillis fasciculatis, 
subhexameris, sepalis disticliis, exterioribus valvatis, interioribus in 
alabastro valde sub anthesi lente imbricatis, staminibus 24 vel pluribus; 
ovario 6-10-loculari, glabro; fructu 2-4-loculari ; foliis magnis, obovatis 
vel oblanceolatis, pagina inferior! crebrissime minutissimeque lepidotis, 
junior ibus tomentosis. 
Flowers in fascicles of 2-4, mostly in the axils of fallen leaves, but 
sometimes truly axillary; pedicels 1.5-2. 3 cm long, 1.2-2. 5 mm thick, 
ferruginous-tomentose and sometimes grayish-tomentose : sepals 6, about 
4-5.5 mm long, 4-5 mm wide, broadly ovate to orbicular, persistent in 
fruit, arranged in two rows, those of the outer row coriaceous, valvate, 
on their outer surface pubescent like the pedicels, acuminate at the apex, 
those of the inner row usually slightly wider than the outer, in bud 
strongly, at anthesis very slightly imbricate, glabrous, rounded at the 
apex, membranaceous on the margins; corolla oblanceolate in outline, 
1. 7-1.8 cm long, divided to within 2. 5-3. 5 mm of the base into 6 or 
very rarely 7 lobes, these lobes imbricate, oblanceolate, 4 mm wide, 
rounded or obscurely 2-cleft at the apex, glabrous or when young very 
shortly tomentose without; stamens 24-33, inserted on the corolla at 
about the level of the base of the lobes, and adnate to its tube below, 
filaments 6-8 mm long, anthers 5 mm long, lanceolate, cordate at the 
base, the connective produced to a point at the apex; ovary at anthesis 
1.5 mm long, 2 mm wide, 6-10-eelled, each cell with 1 ovule; style 2-3 
cm long, subulate, blunt at the apex: fruit glabrous, spherical or ovoid, 
baccate, tipped by the persistent base of the style, attaining a length of 
2.2 cm and a diameter of 1.9 cm, 2-4-celled, each cell containing 1 
seed, traces of additional aborted cells often very distinct.
