After careful dissection of the flowers of the types of the two species 
S. parvijlora, Roxb. and S. Maingayi, Masters, and of flowers of many 
other specimens, I can come to no other conclusion than that they are one 
and the same. There is a curious tendency to inequality in size in the 
leaves, some being twice as large as others rising from the same twig 
within the distance of an inch. And the panicles usually follow the 
leaves in the matter of length. 
9. S. Scoetechinii, King, n. sp. A tall tree; young branches 
rather thick, their bai’k pale, rough, the youngest parts deciduously rusty- 
pubescent. Leaves thinly coriaceous, oblong, slightly obovate, the apex 
rounded, with an abrupt short blunt point, entire ; the base slightly 
narrowed, rounded or minutely cordate, 3-nervod ; upper surface glabrous, 
shining ; the lower slightly paler, dull, thickly dotted with minute 
reddish flat shining glands, the midrib and 4 to 5 pairs of prominent 
ascending lateral nerves stellate-pubescent : length 2'5 to 3 5 in., 
breadth 125 to 1'65 in. ; petiole '65 to 1 in., deciduously pulverulent- 
tomentose. Panicles racemes-like, axillary, solitary, shorter than the 
leaves, densely pulverulent-tomentose, rusty; pedicels as long as the 
buds : bracteoles ovate, '25 in. long, imbricate, caducous. Calyx cam- 
panulate, divided almost to its base into 5 broadly ovate spreading not 
connivent lobes, pubescent-toraentose both internally and externally 
Male flower : statninal column shorter than the calyx, crowned by about 
10 short anthers with thick sub-cuneate connective and short divergent 
cells. Herm. flower: Ovary 3-celled, obliquely ovoid, pubescent-scaly; 
ovules 3 or 4 in. each cell. Styles connate, pubescent. Stigmas 3, 
large, ovoid, spreading, glabrous, dark-coloured. Follicles not seen. 
Perak; Scortechinii, No. 2068. 
Collected only once, and without fruit. 
10. S. bicolor, Mast, in Hook. fil. FI. Br. Ind. i. 359. A tree 
40 to 60 feet high : young branches rather thin, cinereous, striate, 
glabrous, rufous-pubescent at the very tips. Leaves small, membranous, 
obovate-oblong, acute or shortly mucronate, entire, slightly narrowed 
to the minutely 2 to 3-nerved rounded base ; upper surface glabrous
