Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 
990; Curtis 3483. Singapore: Ridley 6239,6497. Curtis says it is 
the “ Taban Percha ” of the Malays. 
The drawing of the flower in Engl. & Prantl Naturl. Pflanzen-Fam. IV. i. 132, 
fig. G9 A-C seems a little doubtful. The identification of Wall. Cat. 4161 seems also 
doubtful, for Payena Maingayi much resembles in leaf Palaquium Gutta var. oblongi- 
folia. 
2. Payena longipedicellata, Brace MS. in Herb. Calc. A tree, 
reaching 100 to 130 feet in height; branches slender, silvery-grey, 
innovations rusty-pubescent. Leaves cliartaceo-coriaceous , oblong or 
elliptic-oblong, shortly acuminate at apex, rounded unequally at the 
base ; glabrous on both surfaces, margins slightly recurved ; 4 to 5 in. 
long, 1-5 to 2 in. broad; midrib slender, impressed above; main-nerves 
about 18 pairs, indistinct, starting at about 85° with the midrib, at first 
parallel, near the margin joined in an intramarginal looped nerve , 
secondary nerves nearly as prominent as main-nerves, often branching 
backwards, reticulations few, indistinct ; petiole - 7 to "8 in. long, 
channelled above and bordered by the margins of the decurrent blade , 
stipules small, ovate-acute, rusty-pubescent, very caducous. Floweis 
fascicled, 1-3 together, in the axils of lower leaves or of the scars of 
fallen leaves ; pedicels 1 to 1-5 in. long, slender, curved, striate when 
dry, clavate above, puberulous ; flower-buds conical, large. Calyx-lobes 
4 ; 2 outer valvate, ovate-acute, thick, - 5 in. long, sparsely rusty- 
pubescent ; 2 inner lanceolate-acuminate, concave, thickly keeled, '6 in. 
long, densely tawny-pubescent on the back. Corolla tubular-campanu- 
late, -8 in. long; tube -3 in. long, glabrous; lobes 8, 4 outer enclosing 
4 inner, ovate-acuminate, glabrous. Stamens 16, inserted in 1 row, 
below the top of the tube but alternate ones covered by the others ; 
filaments very short, slender; anthers '15 in. long, ovate, rusty -hirsute, 
extrorse, the connective produced in a broad mucro divided in 2 diverg-

3. Payena Havilandi, King & Gamble, n. sp. A large tree (?) ; 
branchlets grey, slender, innovations appressed rusty-pubescent. 
Leaves chartaceo-coriaceous ; elliptic, abruptly acuminate at apex, at- 
tenuate usually unequally at base ; glabrous above, glabrous beneath 
except on the midrib which is appressed-rusty-pubescent, margins 
recurved; 2-5 to 3 in. long, P25 to 1‘75 in. broad; midrib slender ; 
main-nerves 10 to 12 pairs, not very prominent, rather irregular, 
starting at about an angle of 60° with the midrib, meeting close to the 
margin in an intramarginal looped nerve ; secondary nerves and reticu- 
lations scanty but prominent, raised beneath ; petiole -4 to -5 in. long,
