Flora of Burmah. This species is a smaller tree than E. pedunoulatus, 
which, however, it closely resembles, differing chiefly in the shape of the 
leaves, the nearly glabrous sepals and in the larger number of stamens. 
E. ovalis, Miq. (a species from Sumatra) must be very nearly allied to 
this. I have seen only a fruiting specimen of E. ovalis, but, except in 
having leaves of thicker texture and slightly larger fruit, I see little to 
prevent its being referred here.

A tree 30 to 40 or over 70 feet high, all parts glabrous except the in- 
florescence ; young branches almost as thin as a crow-quill, dark-colour- 
ed. Leaves thinly coriaceous, ovate-lanceolate to lanceolate, acuminate, 
the edges cartilaginous with shallow mucrouate crenulations, or sub- 
entire with remote marginal black points, the base sub-euneate or 
rounded : both surfaces shining, the reticulations minnte and distinct : 
main nerves 5 or 6 pairs spreading, forking and interarching at some 
distance from the margin, not prominent: leugth of blade 2o to 3'75 
in., breadth - 9 to 1'5 in., petiole '5 to 1 in. Racemes from the upper 
axils, longer than the leaves, rachises and pedicels softly and minutely 
pubescent. Flowers '5 in. in diam. ; pedicels thickened at the apex, 
'6 to - 8 in. long : buds ovoid-conic. Sepals lanceolate, acuminate, finely 
adpressed sericeous externally, glabrous internally except the pubescent 
infolded edges and the thickened sometimes sericeous midrib. Petals 
about as long as sepals, ovate, acuminate, the apex irregularly 2 or 3- 
toothed with 2 or 3 lateral fimbrise, outside minutely adpressed- 
sericeous, inside retroversed hirsuto especially on the large gland near 
the base ; edges in the lower two-thirds much infolded so as to form with 
the gland 2 quasi-cells. Torus a shallow, acutely 10-lobed, fleshy disk. 
Stamens 35 to 40, shorter than the petals : filaments short, sericeous as 
are the unequally 2-celled anthers : outer cell with a tapering awn y to J 
of its own length, the inner with a few apical hairs. Ovary narrowly 
ellipsoid, tapering, glabrous except a few silky hairs, 2-celled. Style 
cylindric, grooved, glabrous, longer than the ovary. Fruit ellipsoid, 
blunt at both ends, smooth, ’5 in. long and '3 in. in diam. : pulp thin 
with a few fibres; stone slightly rugose, l-celled, 1-seeded, Kurz in
