the inner densely closely rusty-pubescent. Corolla whitish, -5 in. wide, 
the lobes very narrow, spreading ; interlobular spaces rufous-pubescent

Scortechini ! 
Father Seortechini’s specimens from Perak have the fruit slightly smaller, not at 
all pointed, and not so distinctly roughened as the Penang specimens, but in all other 
respects the two plants agree.

10 to 20 feet high, erect, much spreading ; branches and sparingly 
pubescent ultimate branchlets eylindric. Leaves elliptic or narrow-

obtuse tip ; 7 to 12 in. long, 1-75 to 5 in. wide ; coriaceous ; quite glabrous ;
