130 G. King — Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. [No. 1, 
11. El®ocarpus petiolatus, Wall. Cat. 2673. A tree 20 to 40 
feet high ; all parts glabrous except the inflorescence ; young branches 
dark-coloured, about the thickness of a goose-quill. Leaves coriaceous) 
elliptic to elliptic-oblong, acute or shortly and bluntly acuminate ; 
edges entire : base slightly cuneate or rounded ; both surfaces shining, 
the lower* slightly paler when dry, the r*etioulations sharply distinct on 
both surfaces : main nerves 7 or 8 pairs, sub-ascending, curving and 
interarching a little within the margin : length 4‘5 to 6'5 in., breadth 
2 to 2 75 in. ; petiole 1*4 to 2*4 in. slender, dark-coloured, slightly thick- 
ened at the apex. Racemes numerous from the old wood just below the 
leaves, shorter than the leaves, rachises and pedicels deciduously puberu- 
lous. Flowers *5 in. in diam., their pedicels '35 in. ; buds ovoid, rather 
abruptly pointed. Sepals lanceolate, acuminate, almost glabrous exter- 
nally ; quite glabrous internally, the infolded edges alone pubescent, the 
midrib thickened from base to apex. Petals about as long as the sepals, 
oblong, the apex cut into 10 to 13 narrow glabrous teeth, the lower two- 
tlurds sericeous, cucullate at the base from the infolding of the edges, a 
large fleshy villous gland in the middle near the base with a quasi-cell 
at each side of it, the hairs on the inner surface retroversed. Torus a 
10-lobed fleshy glabrescent disk. Stamens 18 to 25, shorter than the 
petals, with sericeous or glabrescent flat or sub-cylindric filaments much 
shorter than the shortly puberulons anthers : apex of anther deeply 
cleft, the outer cell with a sub-recurved thick awn shorter than the 
filament. Ovary ovoid, pointed, glabrous, 2-celled. Style as long as the 
stamens and much longer than the ovary, cylindric, grooved, glabrous. 
Fruit elliptic, blunt at each end, smooth, '4 to '6 in. long, and '3 in. in 
diam. : the pulp thin, with very few fibres ; stone very slightly rugose, 
1-cellcd, 1 -seeded. Monocera petiolala, Jack Mai. Misc. i. No. v, 43;

This is undoubtedly the Monocera petiolata of Jack ; that it is 
the Flceocarpus Integra of Wall. (Cat. No. 2668) I very much doubt. 
Wallich’s No. 2668 was collected in Silhet from which no specimen any- 
thing like this has been collected since his day. In fact there is no 
evidence to show that this species is found in any part of British India 
(as distinguished from British Malaya), although Kurz includes it in his
