80 SIR DIETRICH BRANDIS—AN ENUMERATION 
Stigma 8-dentate. Cotyledons thick, fleshy, bifid to base, fur- 
rowed on the outside. The short radicle and the well-developed 
petioles, these 4-3 inch long, lie between the two lobes of the 
outer cotyledon, which is more or less concave, embracing the 
inner or placentary cotyledon, between the lobes of which the 
lignified placenta and the remains of the dissepiments intrude. 
According to Pierre, 7. e. tab. 243, the cotyledons of S. robusta 
are “huileux.” I have always found the cells filled with 
starch. 
In herb. Kew are specimens of leaves and fruit communicated 
by M. Pierre, no. 1690, from Cambodia. The leaves resemble 
those of Shorea robusta, and the corticalleaf-traces seem to be 
short, but the fruit is different. The fruiting-calyx is glabrous, 
shining, and only covers the base of fruit. In S. robusta the 
fruiting-calyx is pubescent, and the base of its segments covers 
the entire fruit. Under tab. 243, which figures S. robusta from 
Indian specimens, Pierre expresses his doubt whether the speci- 
mens mentioned should be referred to S. robusta or to Š. obtusa; 
and under tab. 234 he actually refers no. 1690 to S. obtusa. 
But the nervation of the leaves is different in S. obtusa. 
These specimens somewhat resemble a specimen (leaves only), 
no. 6563, received at Kew from Hort. Bot. Bog. in 1815, and 
marked * S. tomentosa, Miq., from Siam, cult. in Hort. Bot. Bog." 
S. tomentosa does not seem to have been published.

Eastern Peninsula, not known north of 20? N. lat. In 
Burma scattered in forest of Dipterocarpus tuberculatus ; in 
Cambodia associated with this tree, but also, according to Pierre, 
forming pure forests by itself. 
Flowers in short unilateral racemes, these distichous, forming 
drooping axillary and terminal panicles. Stigma indistinctly 
3-toothed. Embryo similar to that of S. robusta, the five abortive
