ley at Krian. Penang, Balik Pulau. This species was based by 
Dyer on a plant collected by Maingay in Malacca, which seems to 
be a slightly narrow-leaved state of flavescens. It bears the same 
galls as are common in that species. I have also, however, a plant 
from the roadside at Changi, Singapore, which has stiffer cori¬ 
aceous lanceolate leaves, shortly acuminate at both ends, nerves 
and reticulations very fine and close, visible on both sides, 4 in. 
long, i*4 in. wide; petioles *3 in. long. Cymes lax spreading, over 
£ in. long. This may be a further exaggerated form. The flowers 
are identical in all.
