1895.] G. King— Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 33 
cent below but hairy near the month ; inside villous ; mouth wider than 
the tube with 8 rather deep linear 2- to 3- toothed lobes ; anthers oblong, 
slightly exserted. Ovary broadly ovoid, sericeous like the slightly com¬ 
pressed style ; stigma small, cylindric, with the upper surface lobed. Fruit 
sub-globular, narrowed at the base, 3 in. in diam., the pericarp leathery 
thick and fleshy; pedicel very stout, swollen, 1 in. long.

11. Chisocheton macrothyrsus, King, n. sp. A tree 20 to 40 feet 
high. Leaves about 2 feet long, the petiole terete, the rachis 4-angled, 
glabrous; leaflets 2 to 4 pairs, thinly coriaceous, elliptic-oblong, mi¬ 
nutely acuminate, the base cuneate, both surfaces glabrous; main nerves 
10 to 14 pairs, prominent beneath ; length 3‘5 to 9 in., breadth 1’5 to 
35 in., petiolules ‘25 to ‘5 in. Panicles longer than the leaves, angled, 
glabrous; the branches distant, the lower again branched, the ultimate 
branchlets everywhere cymose. Flowers ‘5 in. long, on very short pubes¬ 
cent pedicels. Calyx tubular, about '1 in. long, truncate or waved, 
pubescent. Petals 5, five times as long as the calyx, elliptic, thickened 
and concave at the apex, minutely tomentose outside, glaberulous inside. 
Staminal tube shorter than and free from the petals, its apex truncate, 
with about 14 broad shallow teeth, sericeous on both surfaces except to¬ 
wards the apex ; anthers 7 or 8, rather small, included, attached some way 
below the mouth. Ovary ovoid-conic, sericeous like the tapering style ; 
stigma cylindric, glabrous, with a flat ring at its base. Fruit depressed- 
globular, sub-rugose and with several vertical ridges, minutely tomen¬ 
tose, 1‘5 in. in diam.

I have seen only a single specimen in which the fruit approaches 
maturity. The majority of the fruiting specimens are in a young stage, 
and the young fruits are deeply rugose and furrowed and have a small 
apical beak. None of the specimens I ha\e seen have their leaves 
intact, and it is possible they may have more leaflets than I have des¬ 
cribed above. 
12. Chisocheton laxiflorus, King, n. sp. A tree 20 to 40 feet high. 
Leaves 1 to 2 feet long, glabrous ; leaflets 4 or 5 pairs, opposite, thinly 
coriaceous, elliptic to elliptic-oblong, cuspidate, slightly narrowed at the 
base, both surfaces minutely reticulate; main nerves 10 to 15 pairs, 
curved, ascending, depressed above and prominent beneath when dry ; 
length 5 to 9 in., breadth 1‘75 to 3 in., petiolules *2 in. Panicles soli¬ 
tary, extra-axillary, slender, with a few primary branches ; the secon¬ 
dary branches short, few-flowered, the flowers usually in distant pairs, 
sessile, ‘4 or *5 in. long. Calyx puberulous outside, less than *1 in. long,
