nerves 14 pairs elevate on both sides, inarching; transverse nervules 
undulate, parallel, very numerous and equally conspicuous on 
both sides; 10 in. long, 3-25 in. wide; petioles 1-25 to 2-25 in. long, 
base for -5 in. thickened. Flower-bud ovoid-elliptic, glabrous, 
1*25 in. long. Sepals oblong, minutely apiculate, densely minutely 
pustulate when dry. Petals oblong blunt. Stamens linear; anthers 
rather long acuminate. Pistils oblong, short acute. Young fruits 
2 in. long; carpels with long acuminate points. Hah. Mountains : 
Pahang, Sempang Mines (Fraser Hill), Semangkok Pass at 4000 ft. 
altitude (Ridley 15,590). Disirib. Borneo, Banca. 
One specimen of this plant in Herb. Kew, from Banca, collected 
by Teysmann, is named by the Buitenzorg botanists, Talamna 
ohovata, Korth. The original specimen of Korthals was obtained 
at Pamatton in South Borneo. I have not seen it. Though 
Korthal’s description is quite inadequate to identify the species by 
{Nederl. Kruidk. Arch, ii, ser. i. Verslag, 98), Miquel [Ann. Mits. 
Bot. Lugd. Bat. iv. 69) describes the plant as fully as possible. The 
description does not altogether suit this plant, differing in the 
leaves being pergamaceous obovate-oblong, acutely acuminate, 
12 to 13 in., rarely 10 in. long, and 3 to 5 in. wide, the base of the 
flower being villous, the petals thick, oval and the anther-connective 
process short and blunt, so that I conclude that the true T. ohovata 
is not the Banca plant. Craib in describing his Talauma hctongense 
from Siam {Keiv Bull. 1925, p. 7), says that the plant from the 
Semangkok Pass closely resembles that species. I have seen no 
specimen of his plant, but it seems to differ in some points. I 
therefore think it advisable to separate the Pahang species under 
the above name from both Craib’s and Korthal’s plant.

(15) G. pendulifolius Ridl. 
Shrub; branches 4, erect. Leaves coriaceous, pendent (young 
ones on the tips red), oblong sub-acute, base rounded; nerves 33 
pairs inarching, slender elevate beneath; 18 in. long, 5-5 in. wide; 
petioles -5 in. long. Flowers solitary, axillary, pedicel *2 in. long. 
Sepals triangular-ovate, coriaceous acute, *5 in. long, -3 in. wide. 
Outer petals lanceolate acuminate, base shortly broadly clawed, 
coriaceous, 1*75 in. long, 6 in. wide; inner petals ovate-triangular, 
•5 in. long. Stamens linear with an ovate acuminate point. Pistils 
projecting, about 15; stigmas semicircular. Carpels 4, ellipsoid, 
shortly bluntly beaked, 75 in. long, narrowed into a thick pedicel 
•5 in. long. Hah. Pahang, 6 miles north of Bentong (Burkill 
16501). 
Nearest to G. uvarioides King, but the inner petals are very 
different, and the stamens longer.
