OF THE DIPTEROCARPACER. 87 
acuminate, almost entirely covered by the enlarged base of 
calyx-segments. Of these segments, the three larger 4 in. long, 
falcate ; longitudinal nerves 8-10, with prominent oblique trans- 
verse veins. Cotyledons filled with starch, nearly equal, thick 
fleshy, the outer slightly concave, partly embracing the inner. 
Both cotyledons bifid to base, the hypocotyl (2 length of embryo) 
with short petioles, between the two lobes of the outer, the 
lignified placenta with remains of dissepiments between the two 
lobes of the inner cotyledon. 
This species has been placed here on account of the similarity 
in leaf to Shorea Balangeran.

Borneo (Beccari, nn. 1126, 1127, 1128, 2480, 2912). 
Stipules deciduous, scars semi-amplexicaul Flowers sessile, 
in unilateral bracteate spikes, which are distichous and regularly 
alternating, arranged in long drooping panicles. Two oblong 
bracts under each flower, enclosing it. Anthers oblong, broader 
at base; appendage filiform, smooth, longer than anther ; fila- 
ments broad.  Ovary pilose; style as long as ovary; stigma 
minute. 
This species is readily known by what appear to be long 
cortical leaf-traces running in the bark through the entire length 
of the internodium, by the bracteate spikes, and by the large 
(8 in. long) and conspicuously veined wings of the fruiting- 
calyx.
