Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 
above ; main-nerves 14 to 18 pairs, slender, about - 2 in. apart, incon- 
spicuous, more or less parallel, starting at an angle of about 80° with the 
midrib, straight almost to the margin where they are connected by a 
looped intramarginal nerve ; secondary nerves many, forking backwards, 
reticulations faint ; petiole slender, -75 in. long, channelled above by the 
decurrent margins of the blade ; stipules short, subulate, pubescent, very 
caducous. Flowers fascicled, 3—4 together, in the axils of upper leaves, 
or on terminal leafless branchlets, giving the impression of a terminal 
inflorescence ; pedicels slender, '4 in. long, pubescent. Calyx-lobes 4, 
■15 in. long, the 2 outer ovate-valvate, minutely pubescent ; the 2 inner 
ovate, truncate at apex, almost scarious on the margins, pubescent, 
imbricate. Corolla campanulate ; tube - 05 in. long, glabrous , lobes 8, 
imbricate, the 4 rather smaller outer embracing the 4 larger inner, 
ovate-obtuse, -15 in. long. Stamens 16, inserted in one row on the top 
of the corolla-tube, those opposite the lobes longer than and behind 
those alternate with them ; filaments very short, hairy ; anthers ovate, 
•075 in. long, extrorse, the connective produced in a rather thick 
penicillate mucro. Ovary villous, depressed, obscurely 8-lobed ; style 
subulate, glabrous above, pubescent below, -2 in. long ; cells 8. Fruit 
an ovate-oblong conical reddish-green berry, 1-5 to 1’75 in. long, 
obscurely ribbed and rough, at first tipped with the conical remains 
of the style, afterwards truncate seed 1. Seed 1 in. long, about 
•4 in. broad, oblong ; testa thin crustaceous, dark brown ; hilum long, 
narrow ; albumen thin ; cotyledons oblong, ‘85 in. long, '35 in. broad, 
faintly 3-nerved ; radicle small, inferior. Kurz in Journ. As. Soc.

Borneo (?), Amboina. Vern. “ Getah Sundek.” It gives a second-rate 
variety of guttapercha. 
To this species probably belong Ridley 11313, Curtis 3631, and David 108o7, 
all apparently from Sumatra— Fern. “Getah Sundi.” The specimens have 
leaves only. 
Curtis’ No. 3640 “Getah Sundek’’ from the Dindings is either this species 
or P. Havilandi; but the fruit is globose, not elongate or obconieal. It seems, 
however, to have been more or less attacked by insects, and may not show its 
proper shape.
