108 G. King— Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. [No. 1, 
Ovary ovoid, grooved, imperfectly 4- or 5-celled, with 4 or 5 elongated 
pendulous ovules. Style simple, much longer than the ovary; stigma 
minutely-lobed, terminal. Fruit globose, 1-celled, the epicarp thin, fleshy, 
the endocarp crustaceous. Seed solitary, globular, pendulous from the 
apex by a filiform thread (? placenta), embryo near the apex of the 
fleshy albumen, radicle superior. One species ; native of Malaya. 
1. Scorodocarpus Borneensis, Beccari in Nuovo Giorn. Bot. Ital.

Leaves coriaceous, elliptic-oblong, acute, the base slightly cuneate or 
rounded; both surfaces glabrous, the reticulations transverse; main 
nerves about 5 pairs, curved, ascending, prominent beneath ; length 5 
to 65 in., breadth 2’5 to 3 in., petiole about ‘75 in. Racemes under 
2 in. long, puberulous, the flowers in clusters of 3 or 4. Calyx with 
wavy edge, nearly glabrous. Buds oblong ; petals puberulous outside, 
*3 to *35 in. long. Disc 0. Fruit glabrous, 2 in. in diam. Valeton 
Olacineae, 88. Schmidelia foetidissima, Wall. Cat. 8064. Ximinia bor¬ 
neensis, Baillon Adansonia LXI. 271 (in part).

Rather a common tree, every part of which has a foetid alliaceous 
odour. The wood is hard and durable, and is much prized for various 
purposes. This tree was collected by Wallicli in Singapore, and he 
referred it to Schmidelia. The Wallichian specimens, however, were 
overlooked, and the plant was first described by Baillon from specimens 
collected by Signor Beccari in Borneo. Subsequently the latter Bota¬ 
nist founded for its reception, the genus Scorodocarjpus. Its affinities 
are with Ximenia . 
11. Anacolosa, Blume. 
Shrubs or trees. Leaves alternate, petiolate, simple, penni-nerved. 
Inflorescence cymose, axillary. Calyx cup-shaped, 5-7-tootlied, not 
accrescent. Petals 5-7, oblong, free, valvate, springing with the stamens 
from a liypogynous or perigynous disk. Stamens concealed in the 
cavity of the petals and slightly adnate to their bases, filaments 
glabrous, or pilose at the apex ; anthers broad, innate, 2-celled, dehiscing 
longitudinally. Ovary imperfectly 2- 3-celled below, 1-celled above ; 
style cylindric, the stigma shortly lobed ; ovules 2 or 3, pendulous, the 
placenta central. Fruit drupe-like, with the disc persistent at its apex 
and the slightly accrescent calyx at its base ; stone crustaceous, 1- or im¬ 
perfectly 2-celled, with a single pendulous seed ; embryo minute at the 
apex of fleshy albumen, radicle superior.— Distrib. 5 or 6 species, British 
Indian and Malayan.
