67. SHOREA MACRANTHA, Sp. nova. Arbor procera, ramulis 
tomento ferrugineo stellato dense obtectis. Folia parva, e basi 
cordaté vel obtusa ovato-oblonga, breviter acuminata, stipulis 
oblongis subfalcatis 3-5-nerviis (cum paginà inferiore foliorum) 
dense ferrugineo-stellato-tomentosis, nervis secundariis utrinque 
12-14 arcuatis cum cost valde prominentibus, nervis tertiariis 
parallelis approximatis valde prominentibus. Flores majusculi. 
Stamina connectivi appendice brevi acuta.  Pistillum ovario 
glabro in stylum filiformem attenuato. 
Borneo (“large tree, flowers sweet-scented "), Haviland, 
n. 2119. 
Petioles, underside of leaves, and ramifications of inflorescence 
densely clothed with ferruginous tufts of stellate hairs; stipules 
persistent, acute.  Petioles short, thickened and ribbed. Leaves 
3-4 in. long, li in. broad; secondary nerves joining in the 
margin. Flowers sessile, 2 in. long, in sessile or shortly pedun- 
culate clusters, these in elongated axillary and terminal panicles, 
each flower subtended by 2 bractlets. Calyx and petals tomen- 
tose on the outside, glabrous inside. The 5 inner anthers on 
long, broad, flat filaments. Anthers nearly circular with equal 
valves. Style glabrous, with a broad stigma. Fruit unknown. 
The leaves somewhat resemble those of S. rugosa, Heim, but 
flowers much larger, petioles short, and ovary glabrous. 
(2) Appendage of connective long, filiform, generally twice or 
three times the length of anther. 
68. S. CRISTATA, Brandis.—S. Dyeri, Heim in Bull. Soc. Linn. 
Paris, ii. (1891) 957, non Trimen. 
Borneo (Beccari, n. 2515). ; 
Tertiary nerves parallel, conspicuous on upperside. Flowers 
sessile, each subtended by 2 bracts, in elongated branching 
spikes, at the ends with tufts of buds and bracts. The 5 inner 
anthers on long, flat, and broad filaments. Ovary hairy, gradu- 
ally narrowed into filiform style, which is hairy at the base and 
exceeds the ovary three times in length. Stigma minute. | 
Somewhat resembles S. squamata, but differs by the inflor- 
escence, the long appendage of connective, and the absence of 
the stylopodium. S. Dyerii is a species of section Hushorea, 
established by Thwaites, and published posthumously in 1885.
