84 SIR DIETRICH BRANDIS—AN ENUMERATION 
Leaf-base rounded or slightly cordate; blade 2-3 in. long, 
1-1j in. broad; petiole Jin. Panicles axillary, longer than leaf, 
ramifications almost filiform. Appendages of connective with 
8-7 long cilis. Stylopodium nearly twice the length of ovary, 
both hairy; style short; stigma minute. 
In habit somewhat resembles Shorea philippinensis of section 
Anthoshorea ; but the oblong leaves and filiform branches of the 
inflorescence distinguish it. 
Sect. III. ANTHOSHOREA. 
Fruiting-calyx with 3 long wings. Flowers large; stamens 
generally 15-17, in a few species 23-30; anthers oblong, con-

times scabrous at the end. Ovary mostly glabrous ; style longer
