5 in. wide. Corymbs on the old wood, 6 to 12 in. across. Bracts 
large, caducous, yellow. Flowers very numerous. Calyx-tube 1 in. 
long; lobes yellow, mouth at length deep red, oblong, -5 in. long. 
Stamens 4. Ovary stalked, puberulous on sutures. Pod 15 to 
18 in. long, 3-25 in. wide, oblong, dark rose pink. Hab. Common 
in forests. Negri Sembilan, Tampin Hill. Selangor, Batu Caves ; 
Ginting Bidai (Kloss); Ulu Gombak. Perak, Thaiping Hills. 
Native names : Gapis; Talan. 
(2) S. declinata Miq . FL Ind. Bat . i. 84. 
Tree about 20 ft. tall. Leaflets oblong-acute acuminate rather 
stiff, 10 by 4 in.; nerves somewhat prominent, about 12 pairs. 
Corymbs distinctly peduncled, 12 in. long, 9 in. wide. Calyx-tube 
1*5 in. long, lobes -3 in. oblong blunt. Stamens 4, rarely 7. Hab. 
Hill forests. Perak Hills, Thaiping Hills; Sira Rimau, Gunong 
Inas (Yapp). Distrib. Java. 
I am not clear which of this set of Java species Miquel intended by his 
declinata, as there are more than one in Java, but this species is identical 
with the plant so named by Koorders. Prain's S. declinata, l.c. 211, is a 
mixture. 
(3) S. cauliflora Baker , in Hook. fit. F.B.I. ii. 272. 
Tree. Leaflets 5 pairs, rather stiff, elliptic, blunt 5 in. long, 
3 in. wide; nerves about 8 pairs, rather strongly elevate; petioles 
•2 in. long. Corymbs on branches 6 in. wide; peduncles 1 to 5 in. 
long or quite short. Bracts lanceolate-acute. Sepals -3 in. long 
yellow; pedicels and tube -5 in. long. Stamens 4 to 7. Pod 
“ red brown,” 12 in. long, 2-5 in. wide, beaked. Seed 175 in. 
long. Hab. Malacca (Griffith}. Perak, Ulu Kenering (Wray). 
Baker’s type (in part) the Malacca plant has four stamens, Wray’s 
(apparently identical) seven, but I believe the number of stamens varies in 
some species. The small corymb and short, blunt, strongly-nerved leaflets 
distinguish it.

prominent beneath; petiolules ‘25 in. long. Corymbs panicled 
on terminal peduncles, 8 to 12 in. long, glabrous. Calyx tube and 
pedicel very short, -4 to -5 in. long. Sepals ovate-oblong, -2 in. 
long; filaments 7. Pod falcate, 4 to 6in. long, 1*5 in. wider Seeds 
5 to 6 , ovate, *5 in. long, 7 in. wide. Hab. Rare in rocky jungle.
