base, tomentose in the upper part; style filiform, much exceeding 
ovary ; stigma minute. 
72. SHOREA GIBBOSA, sp. nova. Arbor, ramulis rugosis. Folia 
submembranacea, ovata acuminata, glabrescentia, inferne scabra, 
nervis secundariis utrinque 8. Calycis segmenta basi incrassata, 
margine ciliata. Stamina 5 intima filamentis gibbosis, connectivi 
aristâ longissimá. Pistillum ovario pubescente, stylo filiformi 
ovarium bis superante. 
Singapore (Ridley, n. 6079). 
Branches conspicuously wrinkled; young shoots, ramifications 
of inflorescence, and underside of youngest leaves with minute 
stellate pubescence. Adult leaves glabrous, but on the underside 
rough with small protuberances. Leaves 4 in. by 2 in.; tertiary 
nerves distant and inconspicuous. Flowers on short pedicels, 
distant, in few-floweréd secund racemes, these distichous. Sepals 
velvety outside, glabrous inside. Petals linear, with a broad 
basis, puberulous outside, glabrous inside. The filaments of the 
5 inner stamens gibbous on the outside. Below this protuber- 
ance are inserted the 5 episepalous stamens of the outer circle. 
Appendage of connective filiform, three times the length of anther. 
Ovary puberulous, narrowed into style, which is twice the length 
of ovary. Fruit unknown. 
Somewhat resembles S. pauciflora, but is readily distinguished 
by the venation of the thinly coriaceous leaves. Until the fruit 
is known, its position must remain somewhat uncertain.
