(2) F. ophirensis Ridl. 
Small tree or shrub. Leaves 8 to 10 in. long, glabrous, rachis 
striate; leaflets 8 pairs, lanceolate long-acuminate, tip blunt, base 
shortly narrowed acute, thinly coriaceous, smooth, grey when dry, 
midrib sunk above, elevate beneath; nerves 7 to 10 pairs, slender, 
faint, almost or quite invisible on the upper surface, forked and 
inarching beneath, reticulations minute ; 3*5 in. long, 75 in. wide 
or less, no stipels, petiolules -i in. long. Racemes in upper axils 
3 in. long in fruit, pubescent in flower. Bracts at base of inflor¬ 
escence coriaceous lanceolate acuminate, -15 in. long. Flowers 
few, about 10, pedicels short, stout in fruit, -i in. long. Calyx 
entire with very short lobes. Pod woody oblong with an acute 
tip, light brown, 2-seeded, about 3 in. long and -25 in. across. Seeds 
ellipsoid, rounded at the tip, flattened, dark brown, *5 in. long, 
•3 in. wide, *08 in. thick. Hab. Malacca, Mount Ophir (Hullett 802). 
Allied to F. cauliflora Dunn, of Hongkong, differing in the 
smooth grey leaves with very inconspicuous nerves, the absence 
of stipels, shorter racemes and smaller fruits. 
I have only seen very young buds and fruit of this plant. 
{3) F. lanceolata Ridl. 
Shrub or treelet, glabrous. Leaves i ft. long, imparipinnate, 
extipellate; leaflets 7 pairs with i terminal, i elliptic-lanceo¬ 
late to lanceolate long-acuminate, base cuneate, glabrous, thin 
sub-herbaceous; nerves 14 or 15 pairs branched at the tip; 9 in. 
long, 2 in. wide; petiolules very short, -05 in. long, thickened; petioles 
terete, 3 to 6 in. long. Panicles racemiform in the upper axils, 
6 to 7 in. long; branches very short, -i in. long, pubescent, thick. 
Bracts caducous lanceolate acuminate pubescent. Flowers un¬ 
known. Pod oblong, not stalked, pubenilous, margins thickened, 
terminated by a short acute beak, 2-seeded, flattened, 2 in. long, 
I in. wide; pedicel -i in, long, thick. Hab. Negri Sembilan, Senaling 
Inas Forest Reserve (Holttum 9755). 
The only specimen I have seen is very incomplete, but I think 
it is a Fordia and is certainly distinct from anything known to me. 
Vol. i. p. 586, after genus 24, Fordia, insert :—
