Tree or shrub; branches glabrous, black. Leaves coriaceous, 
glabrous ovate blunt shortly acuminate, base round, sub-opposite 
above; nerves 3 from close to base, nervules transverse obscure; 
1*5 to 2 in. long, 75 to 1 in. wide; petioles -2 in. long. Cymes 
few-flowered lax axillary, 75 to 1 in. long; peduncle and branches 
slender; pedicels -2 in. long. Flowers -078 in. long, tube short, 
lobes pubescent oblong blunt, silky inside. Stamens filaments 
linear glabrous, row 3, hairy. Staminodes conic. Hab. Mountains

A small tree glabrous; branches slender. Leaves in distant 
pairs, thin coriaceous, lanceolate acuminate, base short, narrow, 
4 in. long, 1 in. wide; petioles slender, -25 in. long. Panicles 
short, few-flowered on uppermost axils, very small. Fruit ovoid 
apiculate, *4 in. long; perianth cupule cup-shaped; pedicel en¬ 
larged, -27 in. long. Hab. Very local at 2500 ft. altitude. A very 
aromatic plant. Pahang, Fraser Hill (Burkill). Penang (Porter), 
West Hill (Curtis). 
The Penang specimens are very poor. In the Pahang ones, which I 
believe are the same, the panicle is pubescen ti'75 in. long, leaves larger, more 
coriaceous, flowers about 8 in a cyme, stamens 12. A bush, camphor-scented.

arching nerves from the outer 2 running to the edge, transverse 
nervules and reticulations conspicuous, back of leaf minutely 
puberulous, 8 to 10 in. long, 2^25 to 3-5 in. wide; petioles -5 in. 
long. Panicles lax spreading, 6 in. long, minutely puberulous to

cordate ovate acute. Fruit apparently small; calyx at base 
cupular fleshy lobed, the sepals ovate coriaceous, ribbed. Hab.

MiqueFs description is only of leaves, but it exactly fits this plant, which 
Gamble referred to iners, from which it differs in its nervation and pubes¬ 
cence beneath, and in the utterly different fruiting calyx.
