SUPPLEMENT 
Burkill sends a fruiting specimen from Gunong Pondok in Perak, 
in which the leaves are more linear and long acuminate, 15 to 30 in. 
long and i to 1-5 in. wide with nerves 10 on each side of the midrib; 
the scape, i ft. tall, has 3 erect branches 5 to 6 in. long, with 
linear leafy bracts with a setaceous point at the base of each branch, 
the lowest 3 in. long and -2 in. wide at the base, the upper 2 
shorter. Fruit orbicular, 3-lobed, retuse at the top, the lobes 
thickened at the edge on pedicels -25 to -3 in. long. 
This differs in the more erect fruit spikes. The species bears 
some resemblance to an apparently undescribed species collected 
in Tonkin by Balansa, but in that plant the leaves are broader and 
dilated in the middle, narrowing at both ends. 
Note. 
H. J. Lam. in Bull. Jard. Bot. Buit. viii. i (1925) publishes a 
long paper on Malayan Sapotaceae received after the Supplement 
was in print. He separates Bassia Motleyana and Payena sessilis 
under the genus Ganua Dubard and separates B. Motleyana var. 
Scortechinii as a distinct species, Ganua Scortechinii, and adds 
Ganua chrysocarpa Dubard, a species collected at Taiping by De la 
Croix, and adds 2 new species of Madhuca, viz. 
(1) M. tomentosa Lan. l.c. 177, pi. 40.

acutely acuminate, 4 to 5 in, long, i*6 to 2-20 in. wide; petiole 
•5 to 1-2 in. long. Flowers in fascicles of 3 to 10; pedicels slender, 
puberulous. Sepals ovate acute, inner pair silky pubescent, edges 
scarious ciliate. Petals 8, narrow to mentose. Stamens 15 or 16; 
filaments flat, villous; anthers acuminate villous. Hab. Pahang, 
Temerloh (Hamid 4790). Native name : Nyato balok.
