Usually small trees, much branched, 5-15 m tall, trunk erect, crown 
broad spreading; branches terete, spreading, fuscous, the ultimate op- 
posite, greenish ; buds coriaceous, acuminate. Leaves subopposite, thickly 
coriaceous, elliptic or elliptic-lanceolate, apex sharply turned rarely long 
acuminate, obtuse or rarely acute, base thick abruptly or gradually 
narrowed into the petiole, in drying striatulate, 9-13 cm long and to 4 
cm broad, rarely to 15-16 cm long and to 5 cm broad. Flowers dioecious ; 
male 3-7 aggregated fasciculately in pedunculate axillary very short 
cylindraceous clusters, to 1.5 cm long; anthers with short apiculus, 
broadish, sharply acute. Female flowers opposite, axillary, forming 
short branches; peduncles 6 mm long; receptacle elongate cylindraceous, 
fleshy, bearing short, . free, acute, persistent, squamif orm leaf-blades ; seed 
globose dark green, testa double, exterior tenuous-coriaceous; interior 
osseous, fragile. 
Leaves usually much resembling those of Agatliis alba ; but with more 
acute apex. Trees much smaller than A. alba , usually not exceeding 
10 or 15 m in height and 1 dm diam. A tree of the lower mountain 
ridges. Very local in distribution.

is from young sterile shoots and looks surprisingly like young Agathis material; 
but, I have placed it here because all the leaves taper to an acute tip. 
Distribution: Monsoon region: Java, in the mountains of the western part of 
the island; Moluccas, Ternate; Celebes; New Guinea; Philippines. 
Sect. IV. Stachycarpus Endl. 
Male flowers arranged in terminal spikes which are single or several 
in the axils of bracts, or single or several in the axils of leaves, rarely 
several, fasciculate at the apex of a peduncle. Female flowers spicate 
forming woody branches or on twigs which are leafy at the base ; ovules 
several, scattered, or ovules 1 or 2 at the apex of twigs which are leafy.
