38 SIR DIETRICH BRANDIS—AN ENUMERATION 
Large tufts of long thin hairs densely covering buds and young 
shoots. Leaves thickly coriaceous, glabrous, very large, up to 
25 in. long and 12 in. broad, elliptic-oblong or obovate, obtuse at 
both ends. Secondary nerves 22-24 pairs, very prominent on 
the underside, straight, terminating in conspicuous intramarginal 
veins. Tertiary nerves parallel, not conspicuous.  Petiole 22 in. 
long. Flowers large, 23 in. long, distichous in simple racemes, 
the two larger calyx-segments 1 in. long. Anthers with equal 
valves, at base auriculate; connective terminating in a stout, at 
the base 4-sided acumen, a little longer than the anther. Ovary 
glabrous; stylopodium hirsute with long hairs; style very short, 
glabrous. 
Dyer (Journ. Bot. 1874, pp. 108, 153) is disposed to think that 
the large leaves of this species from Borneo preserved at Kew are 
from barren shoots of Dipterocarpus Lowii. But, as justly ob- 
served by Burck, the young shoots and stipules enclosing the 
buds of D. Lowii are clothed with an even velvety or silky 
tomentum. Excellent flowering specimens collected by Forbes 
in Sumatra, and preserved in the British Museum, settle the point 
beyond all doubt.

Like D. intricatus, this species has often racemes in pairs, but 
they are not entirely unilateral, and in the specimens seen by 
me there is no pseudo-terminal flower in the bifurcation of the 
racemes.
