116 SIR DIETRICH BRANDIS—AN ENUMERATION 
Glabrous, only inflorescence and calyx pubescent. Leaves 
coriaceous, elliptic; between the 14-18 main secondary nerves, 
which are joined by prominent intramarginal veins, a large 
number of shorter intermediate nerves, more or less reticulate. 
Anthers oblong, hispid: prolongation of connective one-fourth 
the length of anther. Style filiform, with a thickened tomentose 
base, twice the length of ovary.

Sarawak (.Beccar?, n. 3213). 
Very similar to C. Harmandii. Heim states the anthers are 
glabrous; Pierre figures them as slightly ciliate at apex. 
No. 467, Sarawak (Beccari), leaves only, is very similar to 
C. Melanoxylon. Upon a species collected by Beccari, of which 
he does not give the number, Heim bases a new genus Cotyle- 
lobiopsis (Recherch. Diptérocarp. 125). It may possibly be the 
same as this plant.

The large genus Vatica cannot, in the present state of our 
knowledge, be separated into different genera. Its 45 species 
present a very great variety of characters, but these characters 
do not march together. The conformation of the fruiting- 
calyx permits the establishment of three subgenera, viz.: 
Retinodendron, the lobes of the calyx equal, shorter than fruit, 
spreading or reflexed ; Isauzis, the lobes equal, longer than fruit 
and enclosing it; and Synaptea, lobes unequal, two forming 
linear-oblong wings, calyx often adherent to the base of fruit. 
These characters, however, which are very marked when fruiting 
specimens are available, are in no way accompanied by other 
characters, as far as they have been studied: hence it is more 
convenient at present to regard these subdivisions as subgenera. 
Eventually, when complete specimens with perfect seeds of a 
larger number of species are available, it will probably be
