Vol. i. f. 496, sp. 9, Tristira penangensis RidL, note : — 
A fruiting specimen of what appears to be this plant collected 
in the same locality by Curtis as the flowering specimen described 
above has more coriaceous shining leaflets, and an oblong globose 
fruit, 3 in. long, and as wide; pericarp woody, dark brown, covered 
with pale lenticels. It contains 2 seeds and is borne on a stout 
pedicel *5 in. long. A young fruit i in. long is covered with yellowish 
hair, the remains of the sepals persisting, and is crowned with a 
short style. The typical fruits of Tristira are triquetrous and the 
fruits above described are totally different.

Vol i. p. 542, sp. 4, Semecarpus Curtisii King, note :— 
To the localities given Henderson in Gardens Bulletin iii. p. 290, 
adds Kedah, Alor Sta. (Burkill and Haniff), and p. 291, adds a 
variety, var. brevipetiolata, which differs from the type in the 
shorter petioles, *5 to i in. long, the glabrous disc of the male flower 
and the absence of white scales on the underside of the leaf, and 
slightly more pubescent panicle. He gives as localities for it, 
Negri Sembilan, Gunong Tampin (Holttum 9521, Burkill 3230); 
Bukit Kayu Arang, Tampin (Nur 1623) and Gunong Talan (Gaong 
Jalan as he writes it) (Alwins, Cantley's collector, 885). He notes 
that the Selangor plant seems to approach var. brevipetiolata in 
the pubescence on the panicle and the absence of the white scales 
beneath the leaf, but has the long petiole of the type. Had it not 
been for this intermediate form, he would have been inclined to 
separate the northern form specifically from the southern. I have 
not seen any of the specimens refeiTed to which are preserved in 
the herbarium of the Singapore Gardens.
