1891.] G. King — Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 105 
cinereous-tomentose. Flowers not very numerous, large for the genus 
('25 in. long and '25 in. in diam.), on pedicels about as long as the 
calyx. Calyx widely campanulate, almost rotate, minutely stellate- 
tomentose outside ; the teeth as long as the tube, spreading. Petals 
ovate, obtuse, rather suddenly contracted into a linear claw. Stamens 
in 5 groups of 12 or 13 each. Staminodes lanceolate, as long as the 
filaments. Ovary sub-globose, slightly compressed, minutely stellate- 
tomentose and scaly, obtusely 5-angled, 5-ce'led. Style cylindric, rather 
shorter than the filaments. Fruit nearly 1 in. long, with 10 radiating 
membranous, horizontal striate, minutely scaly, semi-elliptic, membra- 
nous wings, each '35 in. broad. 
Tavoy in Tenasserim ; Griffith, Aplin. 
A very distinct species only once collected within recent years, by 
Mr. Aplin. There is, however, in the Kew Herbarium a twig of it col- 
lected by Griffith many years ago bearing this note in Griffith’s hand- 
writing “ Tiliacearum gen. nov. capsulis pluri-alatis.” Although this 
plant has hitherto been found only in territory which is politically 
Burmese, yet Tavoy (being at the southern extremity of Tenasserim) is 
practically Malayan in its Flora and Fauna. I therefore include it 
here. 
11. Pentace STRTCHnoidea, n. sp., King. A tree 60 to 80 feet 
high : young branches slender, cinereous, glabrous. Leaves ovate- 
elliptic rarely ovate-oblong, shortly and abruptly acuminate, the base 
rounded or slightly narrowed ; upper surface shining, glabrous ; lower 
pale and dull ; boldly 3-nerved and often with a slender sub-marginal 
pair of nerves ; length 3 to 4 in., breadth 1'75 to 2'25. in. ; petiole '75 in. 
slightly thickened at the apex. Panicles terminal, 3 to 6 in. long, few- 
branched, lax, minutely lepidote-puberulous. Flowers rather large for 
the genus ('2 in. long). Calyx cup-shaped, tomentose outside, cut more 
than half way down into 5 triangular acute teeth. Petals oblanceolate, 
slightly oblique, much narrowed to the base. Stamens in 5 bundles of 
about 20 each. Staminodes linear-lanceolate. Ovary ovoid-globose, 
obtusely 5-ridged, minutely tomentose and lepidote, 5-celled. Style 
filiform, as long as the stamens. Fruit unknown.
