Fruit unknown. 
Perak; Scortecliini, No. 1918. 
Collected only once by the late Fr. Scortechini and referred by him 
to B. elata, Roxb. The species is, however, quite distinct from B. elata ; 
and also from B. peltata, which it more resembles in its leaves. 
4. Brownlowia macro phylla, King n. sp. A tree 30 to 40 feet 
high: young branches very stout, deciduously rufous-puberulous. 
Leaves very coriaceous, rotund, those on the older branches elliptic, the 
apex rounded or very slightly and shortly apiculate, the edges sub- 
undulate, the base broad, emarginate or slightly cordate, both surfaces 
glabrous ; main nerves 7 to 9 basal and about 2 pairs lateral, prominent 
on both surfaces, secondary nerves transverse and very distinct : length 
of the rotund leaves 11 to 17 in., breadth 10 to 14: of the elliptic, 
length 6 to 10 in., breadth 3'5 to 5'5 in. : potiole 2'25 to 4'5 in., thickened 
at both ends. Panicle terminal, almost as long as the leaves, its 
branches numerous, compressed, grooved, spreading, scurfy and rusty- 
pubescent : bracts few, linear-lanceolate, nearly 1 in. long, persistent. 
Flowers '65 in. long : their peduncles shorter than the calyx, stout, 
deeply grooved. Calyx rather widely cylindric-campanulate, its teeth 
about half as long as the tube, acute, triangular, rusty-tomentose and 
scurfy externally. Petals oblong, obtuse, very little narrowed to the 
base and without any very distinct claw. Ovaries 3 to 5, narrowly 
ovoid, compressed, vertically ridged, lepidote as are the conjoined styles. 
Fruit sub-globose, much compressed, covered with a layer of very 
minute pale hairs, '75 in. in diam.

Trees. Herbaceous portions sometimes pubescent or scaly, ulti- 
mately glabrous. Leaves entire, leathery, the lower surface (except in 
one species) pale from a thin layer of minute adpressed scaly hair. 
Flowers numerous, small, in terminal panicles. Calyx bell-shaped, 
usually 5-fid. Petals 5, membranous, glabrous, longer than the calyx, 
glandless. Stamens numerous, on a slightly raised torus, usually penta- 
delphous. Staminodes 5, opposite the sepals. Anthers subglobose ; 
pollen globose, 3-pored. Ovary 5-celled, cells 2-ovuled ; ovule pendu- 
lous, raphe next the placenta. Styles united, rarely free. Fruit dry, 
indehiscent, 3-10-winged, 1-celled, 1-seeded bj T abortion. Seed solitary, 
albuminous. — Distrib. About 15 species, all Malayan.
