short ovate ; awns longer. Ovary ovoid-conic, glabrous below, 
tomentose above. Fruit ovoid apiculate tomentose, outer wings 
linear-oblong, sub-spathulate, widest at tip narrowing gradually 
downwards, membranous, 5-nerved, 2*25 in. long, *4 in. wide, 
inner ones 1*5 in. long narrower. Hab. Forests, Pahang Lipis 
and Ben tong (Foxworthy). Perak, Thaiping Hills 500 to 800 ft. 
altitude (Kunstler). 
I have never seen good specimens of this tree. 
(13) S. Maxwelliana King, lx. 114. 
Tree 60 to 80 ft. tall. Stem 10 to 15 in. through, almost glabrous. 
Leaves small, coriaceous ovate-lanceolate acuminate, often bluntly 
caudate, shining above, base slightly unequal and very shortly 
cuneate; nerves 6 to 7 pairs inconspicuous above slender, raised 
beneath; nervules very numerous, rather irregularly parallel, 
invisible (upper surface minutely reticulate, dotted), smooth 
beneath, 3 to 4 in. long, 1*3 to i’5 in. wide; petioles '4 in. long. 
Panicles axillary, slender, 4 in. long with branches '25 in. long, 
steUate-puberulous. Flowers pedicelled. Sepals unequal oblong 
blunt, pubescent. Petals oblong, bases concave tomentose out¬ 
side. Stamens 10 ?; filaments short, broad; anthers elongate; 
awns as long. Fruit globular tomentose, free from wing bases, 
outer wings oblong blunt, narrowed downwards, pubescent at least 
when young, 7-nerved, 1-3 in. long, -4 in. wide, inner ones similar, 
but only *5 in. long with 5 nerves. Hab. Rare. Open jungle.

This differs from S. Ridleyana in the thicker leaves with different venation 
and the long slender stellate tomentose panicles. 
Allied to this is a plant represented by a specimen collected by Good- 
enough at Ayer Panas in Malacca, No. 1290, and called Chingal. The small 
ovate-elliptic caudate blunt leaves are more stiffly coriaceous with fine incon¬ 
spicuous nerves about 4 pairs, faint, very lax, reticulations short, panicles 
pubescent; young fruit entirely sparsely tomentose, the smaller wings more 
than half as large as the longer ones. It is probably a distinct species, but 
the specimen is insufficient for identification.

A big tree. Leaves ovate or oblong-ovate, shortly acute acumin¬ 
ate, base broad round, occasionally cordate, glabrous stiffly cori¬ 
aceous, above smooth pale, beneath silvery-scaly; nerves obscure 
above, elevate beneath, decurrent on the ribbed midrib 10 to 12 
pairs, 5 in. long, 3 in. wide (young leaves 9 in. long, 5 in. wide) ; 
petioles scaly scurfy or glabrescent, 1 in. long. Panicles axillary 
and terminal, 3 to 6 in. long with 6 to 10 branches, ‘5 in. long, 
bearing 8 to 10 nearly sessile secund flowers; whole panicle white- 
mealy. Bracts ovate very small caducous. Sepals ovate, round, 
•05 in. long, white silky. Petals linear ‘5 in. long, narrow, base 
ciliate, glabrous inside, silky velvety outside, slightly imbricate,
