91. SHOREA FERRUGINEA, Dyer MS. Arbor. Folia oblonga, 
infra ferrugineo-tomentosa, nervis secundariis utrinque 14, nervis 
tertiariis tomento obtectis. Fructus calycis segmentis 3 majori- 
bus basi cordatis fructum arcte includentibus. 
Borneo (Beccari, n. 2604). 
Leaves shining above; tertiary nerves parallel, but indistinct. 
Blade 4, petiole 4 in. long. Flowers unknown. Fruit like that 
of S. macroptera. 
Distinguished from 8. macroptera by the tomentum on the 
underside of leaves. 
92. S. acuminata, Dyer in Hook. f. Fl. Brit. Ind. i. (1872)

Perak; Malacca (Grifith; Maingay, n. 205). “ Lingga.” 
Leaves coppery brown beneath; stipules oblong, obtuse, with 
one principal and 2 or 4 much shorter longitudinal nerves, joined 
by prominent transverse veins, semipersistent, in tufts at the 
ends of branches and ramifications of inflorescence. Flowers in 
short unilateral spikes, these in distichous axillary panicles ; 
appendage as long as anther. Ovary glabrous; stylopodium 
large, tomentose ; style as long as stylopodium, glabrous. Ona 
Malacca specimen swellings or excrescences alongside the midrib, 
similar to those of S. leprosula. 
53. S. ovata, Dyer MS. Arbor magna. Ramuli pilis stellatis 
ferrugineis vestiti. Folia ovata, acuminata, infra pilis stellatis 
ferrugineis vestita, nervis secundariis utrinque 4-6, nervis terti- 
ariis parallelis non conspicuis. Panicule axillares et terminales, 
spicis unilateralibus distiche impositis. Corolla alba. Stamina 
connectivi appendice antheram paullo excedente. 
Borneo, Beccari, n. 3092; Mt. Singhi (“large tree, corolla 
white ”), Haviland, n. 2042. 
Petioles clothed with ferruginous stellate hairs. Leaves—blade 
2-21 in. long, 1-13 in. broad. Flowers in unilateral spikes, 
these distichous. Buds conical, obtuse. Sepals tomentose out- 
side, pubescent near the apex on theinside. The 5 inner anthers 
on longer filaments. Style cylindric, as long as stylopodium, 
stigma thickened. Larger sepals of fruiting-calyx 1 in. long, 
membranous. 
Beccari’s specimens are in fruit, Haviland’s in flower, but 
they belong to the same species.
