narrowed to both ends; nerves fine, 12 pairs, faint; 4 to 5 in. long, 
i*5 in. wide; petioles *5 in. long. Stipules broad, oblong, truncate 
with a long setiform cusp from the back. Cymes terminal, 3 • 
peduncles 2 in. long, glabrous; branches *5 to 1 in. long, puberulous 
bearing 1 to 3 globose umbelled cymes at the tip, *3 in. through 
(in bud), puberulous. Bracts lanceolate-acuminate; bracteoles 
usually blunt. Buds only seen. Hab. Mountains, rare. Selangor, 
Gunong Mengkuang Lebah (Robinson). 
This much resembles P. angulata, but the stipules arc quite different, leaves 
more coriaceous and inflorescence puberulous.

(35) P. cuspidella Miq. Ann. Mus. Bot. Lagd. Bat. iv. 209. 
Shrubby glabrous plant. Leaves elliptic cuspidate-acuminate, 
thinly coriaceous, base narrowed decurrent on the petiole; nerves 13 
pairs ascending; 6 in. long, 3 in. wide; petioles 1 in. long. Stipules 
oblong truncate, free nearly to base, -6 in. long. Fruit ellipsoid 
*25 in. long, 8-ridged shortly pedicelled on a lax few-flowered cyme, 
2 in. long. Hab. Selangor, Semangkok Pass (Ridley). 
I am not certain of this species, as I only got very incomplete specimens, 
but if it is not Miquel’s plant it is very closely allied to it. P. cuspidella 
is a native of Borneo and Sumatra.
