G. King— Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. [No. 1; 
An unbranched tree 10 feet high. Leaves 9 to 10 feet long ; the rachises 
somewhat compressed, puberulous. Leaflets coriaceous, opposite, oblong, 
acute, the base rounded and slightly oblique : upper surface rugulose, 
shining, glabrous except the tomentose midrib and main nerves ; lower 
surface reticulate-areolate tawny-pubescent; main nerves 15 to 30 pairs, 
spreading and little curved ; length 9 to 18 in., breadth 25 to 4*5 in.; 
petiolule *3 in., stout. Panicles spike-like, 3 feet or more in length ; 
the branches distant, sub-sessile, glomeriform, each crowded with 20 to 
30 elongate obovate shortly pedicellate flowers 1'25 to 1'5 in. long. 
Calyx 1 2 in. long, about one-seventh of the length of the petals, cupular, 
entire or with 3 or 4 rudimentary teeth, truncate, puberulous. Petals 5, 
linear-spathulate, concave at the apex, adpressed-sericeous outside, gla¬ 
brous inside. Staminal-tube slightly adherent to and shorter than the 
petals, cylindric, slightly wider at the minutely 10-toothed mouth ; vil¬ 
lous in the lower half inside, otherwise glabrous; anthers 10, short, 
linear, sub-included. Ovary small, cylindric, 5-grooved, surround¬ 
ed by a small annular disc. Style cylindric, sparsely pubescent, slightly 
longer than the staminal-tube, cylindric. Fruit sub-globular, the apex 
depressed, the sides vertically grooved, rusty-tomentose, 2 - 5 in. in 
diam. Seeds 3 to 5, 1*75 in. long.

7. Chisocheton glomeratus, Hiern in Hook. fil. PI. Bl. Ind. I, 551. 
A tree 40 to 70 feet high; young shoots deciduously tomentose, the 
bark dark when dry. Leaves 12 to 18 in., the petiole and rachises pube¬ 
scent; leaflets 2 or 3, rarely 4 pairs, thinly coriaceous, opposite, elliptic 
to elliptic-oblong, very shortly acuminate, the base rounded, unequal- 
sided ; main nerves 9 to 11 pairs, spreading, prominent beneath; upper sur¬ 
face minutely punctate when dry, glabrous except the pubescent nerves 
and tomentose midrib; lower surface softly pubescent, the midrib and 
nerves tomentose; length 4 to 6'5 in., breadth P8 to 2 5 , petiolule ‘1 to 
•15 in. Panicles solitary, drooping, supra-axillary, as long as the leaves ; 
the lateral branches rather numerous, horizontal, pedunculate, each bear¬ 
ing several dense many-flowered small cymes, everywhere tomentose. 
Flowers "25 in. long, sub-sessile, minutely bracteolate. Calyx short, tu¬ 
bular, puberulous outside, sub-entire or irregularly toothed, much shorter 
than the corolla. Petals 4, erect, elliptic, slightly concave, glabrescent. 
Staminal-tube mncli shorter than the petals and coherent with them, 
rather wide, glabrescent, the mouth with 6 to 8 long linear teeth. Anthers 
linear, elongate, much exserted. Ovary ovoid, tapering into the cylindric 
style, and like it tomentose. Stigma cylindric, rather long, glabrous. 
Fruit (immature) sub-globular, on thick slightly curved pedicels,
