lower half, the apex of the outer anther-cell with a short recurved awn. 
Ovary ovoid, pointed, tomentose, 2-celled. Style cylindric, as long as 
the petals, puberulous below, glabrous at the apex. Fruit unknown. 
Perak ; at elevations under 1000 feet, King’s Collector, No. 8328. 
A species near E. apiculatus, Mast, but with broader, blunter leaves 
more abruptly attenuated to the base and quite glabrous, also with 
smaller flowers. 
16. Eljjocarpus obtusus, Blume Bijdr. 125. A tree 30 or 40 
feet high : young shoots minutely pale pubescent, ultimately glabrous. 
Leaves coriaceous, oblong-obovate, the apex rounded or retuse, gradually 
narrowed from above or below the middle into the acute or acuminate 
base ; the edges sub-entire or with shallow mucronate crenations ; upper 
surface glabrous, shining ; the lower minutely puberulous at first, ulti- 
mately glabrous, the reticulations very minute and rather distinct ; 
main nerves 6 to 8 pairs, sub-ascending, not much curved, rather pro- 
minent below, scrobiculate at their origin from the midrib ; length 4’5 
to 6 5 in., breadth 2 25 to 2’75 in., petiole "75 to 11 in. Racemes axil- 
lary, sometimes from the axils of fallen leaves, less than half as long as 
the leaves, few-flowered ; rachises and pedicels puberulous when young, 
often nearly glabrous when old. Flowers '9 in. in diam ; their pedicels 
slender, '75 to 1 in. long. Sepals oblong-lanceolate, outside minutely 
pubescent, inside sparsely adpressed-sericeous, the midrib thickened. 
Petals longer than the sepals, cuneiform, the base rather broad ; the 
lower third thickened and its edges infolded, the apex with 8 to 10 
rather broad teeth sometimes 2-lobed, sericeous on both surfaces but 
especially on the thickened lower third. Torus a wavy, sub-10-toothed, 
fleshy, sericeous cup. Stamens 30 to 50, shorter than the petals : the 
filaments slender, slightly swollen in the lower half, as long as the 
pubescent anthers ; outer anther cell with a thin tapering awn about as 
long as itself. Ovary ovoid, sericeous or pubesceut, 2-celled. Style 
tapering, cylindric, nearly as long as the petals, slightly grooved, 
puberulous. Fruit ovoid, oblong, not pointed, 1'5 in. long, and '9 in. 
in diam., smooth : stone boldly tuberculate, 1-celled, 1-seeded. Mono-
