48 Gr. King— Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. [No. 1, 
leno-th 5 to 8 in., breadth 2*25 to 8 in., petiolules ’25 in. Racemes 
slightly snpra-axillary, solitary, 4 to 5 in. long, puberulous. Flowers 
scattered, *2 in. long, on slightly shorter thick bracteolate pedicels. 
Calyx a shallow puberulous cup with 4 obscure shallow lobes. Petals 4, 
much longer than the calyx, elliptic, slightly oblique, the apices slightly 
concave and thickened, the bases truncate, puberulous on both surfaces. 
Staminal-tube slightly shorter than the petals and style, widely cy- 
lindric, sparsely puberulous, the mouth with 8 broad 3-toothed lobes. 
Anthers shortly ovate, their apices exserted. Disc slightly longer than 
the ovary, shortly cylindric, fleshy, glabrous, crenulate. Ovary hemis¬ 
pheric, densely puberulous, tapering into the thick style. Stigma sub- 
capitate, with an annular disc at its base. Fruit ovoid, deciduously 
rusty-puberulous with round smooth pits, the pericarp leathery ; length 
1*5 to 2 in., diam., *9 to 135 in. 
S. Andaman and Nicobar Islands ; King’s Collectors. 
This bears, especially in its inflorsescence, a resemblance to D. grande, 
Hiern ; but this is quite glabrous, while that has leaves very pubescent 
beneath; the fruit also is different. 
Var. arborea ; 20 feet or more in height, leaves up to 20 in. long, 
leaflets often much narrowed to the base, longer and with more nerves ; 
spikes often 12 in. long. 
16. Dysoxylum microbotrys. King n. sp. A tree 40 to 60 feet high. 
Leaves 12 to 20 in. long, equally pinnate, their petioles and rachises 
glabrescentor glabrous; leaflets thinly coriaceous, opposite, about 3 pairs, 
elliptic or elliptic-oblong, broadly cuspidate, the base cuneate, both 
surfaces glabrous; main nerves 9 to 11 pairs, oblique, rather straight, 
slightly prominent beneath when dry ; length 6 to 10 in., breadth 2'5 
to 3’5 in., petiolules ‘25 to '35 in. Cymes spike-like, solitary, extra- 
axillarv, 4 to 8 in. long, few-flowered. Flowers '6 in. long, usually soli¬ 
tary, on pedicels T5 in. long, bracteolate at the base. Calyx a shal¬ 
low slightly 4-toothed puberulous rugulose cup. Petals 4, puberulous, 
oblong, slightly widened at the base; the apex sub-acute, thickened and 
incurved. Staminal-tube slightly shorter than the petals and style, 
everywhere puberulous ; its mouth not expanded but with many broad 
shallow obscure teeth. Anthers 8, narrowly elliptic, inserted about their 
own length below the mouth. Disc longer than the ovary, tubular, 
puberulous ; the mouth thickened, rugulose, pilose. Ovary ovoid-conic, 
pubescent; style 4-angled, pubescent in its lower, glabrous in its upper, 
half ; stigma discoid, with a narrrow annular band at its base, 4-celled, 
each cell with 2 ovules Fruit pyriform, the top often much flattened, 
1*5 to 2 in. long, and from T25 to 15 in. in diam., sub-glabrous, the 
pericarp rather thick. Seeds about 75 in. long, plano-convex.
