132 G\ King — Materials for a Flora 'of the Malayan Peninsula. [No. 1, 
13. Ed*ocarpus Hulletth, n.- sp., King. A tree 30 to 40 feet 
high : young branches very slender, dark-coloured ; all parts glabrous 
except the inflorescence. Leaves thinly coriaceous, lanceolate to ovate- 
lanceolate, acuminate ; edges slightly cartilaginous, entire or remotely 
and obscurely serrate ; the base runoate or rounded : both surfaces 
shilling, the reticulations minute, elongate and rather distinct on the 
lower ; main nerves 7 or 8 pairs curving, interarching within the edge, 
rather faint; length of blade 2'5 to 3 in., breadth - 75 to 14 in. ; petiole 
•65 to '9 in,, slender. Racemes from the leaf-axils below the apex, 
crowded, usually shorter than, but sometimes as long as, the leaves, the 
rachises glabrescent or puberulous, the pedicels silky puberulous. 
Flowers '3 in. in diam., their pedicels ’35 in. long. Sepals linear-lanceo- 
late, acuminate ; externally adpressed-pubescent ; internally glabrous 
below, puberulous near the apex and on the infolded edges. Petals 
ovate, concave at the base, narrowed to the 10 to 12-fimbriate apex ; 
outside glabrous, inside villous on the much-thickened base of the mid- 
rib, otherwise puberulous. Torus very shallow, deeply 10-lobed, serice- 
ous. Stamens 20, slightly shorter than the petals : filaments nearly as 
long as the minutely scaberulous anthers, outer cell with tapering awn 
nearly as long as itself. Ovary ovoid, pubescent, 2-celled. Style as 
long as the petals and much longer than the ovary, subulate, puberulous 
below, glabrous above. Fruit ellipsoid, blunt at each end, smooth, '6 
in. long, '35 in. in diam. ; pulp thin, very slightly fibrous : stone rugulose, 
rather thick, bony, 1-celled, 1-seeded.

A species not unlike E. Oriffithii, Wall, but with smaller flowers 
and much shorter racemes. 
14. Eijeocarpus peduncuI/Atus, Wall. Cat. 2678 in part. A tree 
40 to 80 feet high : glabrous except the inflorescence : young branches 
nearly as thin as a crow-quill, polished, dark-coloured ; their apices and 
the older branchlets rough and thickened. Leaves coriaceous, oblanceo- 
late or narrowly elliptic-oblong, obtuse or slightly narrowed at the apex, 
the base very cuneate ; the edges cartilaginous, remotely-mucronate 
crenate- waved, slightly recurved when dry : both surfaces shining: the 
lower very slightly the paler and with the minute reticulations distinct ; 
main nerves 5 to 7 pairs, interarching at some distance from the edge ; 
length of blade 3 to 4’5 in., breadth 1'25 to 18 in., petiole ’75 to 1 ’2 in. 
Racemes axillary but mostly from axils of fallen leaves, 3 or 4 in. long, 
rachises and pedicels hoary-pubescent. Flowers '3 in. in diam., buds 
narrowly ovoid, sub-acute ; pedicels l-ecurved, slightly longer than the
