Tree. Branchlets pubescent. Leaves coriaceous elliptic- 
oblong or oblong-lanceolate-acuminate, base blunt, glabrous above, 
beneath paler, and midrib puberulous, 6 to 9 in. long, 2-5 to 3-5 in. 
wide; petioles *2 in. long, pubescent. Flowers in tufts on old 
wood; pedicels -25 in long, pubescent. Sepals ovate acute, *2 in. 
long. Petals linear blunt, bases of inner ones concave, -5 to 75 in. 
long, silky outside. Torus flat-topped, glabrous. Ovules 2, 
superposed. Hab. Malacca (Maingay). 
The flowers are in a very young state, with very short pedicels. The 
foliage is exactly like that of P. cauliflora, and I suspect that it is merely 
a state of this.
