__NOTOC__
:Protologue: Bull. Jard. Bot. Buitenzorg, sér. 3, 7: 163 (1925).
== Synonyms ==
''Bassia'' ''argentea'' C.B. Clarke (1882).
== Vernacular names ==
*Indonesia: melikuran, kemodan, ketiau (Sumatra)
*Malaysia: sundik (Peninsular).
== Distribution ==
Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, Sumatra, Lingga, Bangka and Borneo (Sabah, East Kalimantan).
== Uses ==
The timber is used as nyatoh, particularly for construction purposes such as house and bridge building.
== Observations ==
A fairly large tree up to 35 m tall with columnar, straight bole up to 50 cm in diameter, sometimes with small buttresses; leaves scattered or loosely clustered at tips of twigs, narrowly elliptical to elliptical or obovate, 6.5-25 cm × 3-10 cm, secondary veins diminishing until inconspicuous near margin, yellowish-brown or silvery-grey velvety beneath, stipules up to 2 mm long, fairly persistent but ultimately caducous; flowers with sepals hairy at both sides but inner sepals glabrous inside, 8-11-lobed corolla glabrous except between stamens, 18-24 stamens and hairy ovary; fruit ellipsoid or ovoid, 2-3.5 cm × 1-1.5 cm, with woody pericarp initially hairy, 1-2-seeded; seed with very thin albumen and fleshy cotyledons. Var. ''ridleyi'' (Gand.) Ng from Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore differs in the longer petiole which has a closed groove above. ''M.'' ''sericea'' has been confused with ''M. penicillata'' and occurs scattered in primary lowland forest up to 700 m altitude. The timber is purplish-brown to greyish-brown and has a density of 670-920 kg/m<sup>3</sup>at 15% moisture content, which makes it a heavy nyatoh or even bitis.
== Selected sources ==
100, 102, 190, 318, 581, 733, 779, 781, 792.
