A variable species as regards the leaves and the length of the inflorescence ; the 
prominent glands on the margins of the leaves are a noticeable character. 
12. Symplocos perakensis, King & Gamble, n. sp. A tree with

This species is very near to S. adenophylla, but the leaves are' entire, much thinner 
and smaller, and not glandular, and the inflorescence is more compound, more slender, 
grey- and not rusty-pubescent, and has rounded calyx-lobes.
