OF THE DIPTEROCARPACE Z, 121 
in. long, indistinetiy 3-furrowed; pericarp soft, fibrous. Segments 
of fruiting-calyx broadly cordate, 2 exterior, one overlapping 
with either the right or the left edge, with 5 longitudinal nerves. 
Testa thin, loosely enclosing embryo, almost lining the fruit- 
cavity and enclosing in a fold the short remains of the placenta. 
Hypocotyl less than half the length of embryo, enclosed by 
cotyledons, these plane-convex, bifid to base when dry, separating 
into 4 equal segments. Cells filled with starch. 
5. VATICA GRIFFITHII, sp. nova. Preter inflorescentiam 
glaberrima. Arbor, ramis crassiusculis angulatis. Folia coriacea, 
elliptieo-lanceolata, in petiolum brevem crassum decurrentia, 
nervis secundarii utrinque 4-7 arcuatis cum intermediis 
brevioribus alternantibus in nervos intramarginales desinentibus, 
nervis tertiariis curvatis et reticulatis. Inflorescentia axillaris 
ramosissima, pilis simplicibus fasciculatisque strigosa, bracteis 
lanceolatis subpersistentibus, floribus breviter pedicellatis a 
bracteolis 3 suffultis. Calycis segmenta extüs tomentosa, intus 
puberula. Stamina antherarum loculis inzqualibus, connectivo 
crasso in appendicem brevem prolongato. Ovarium irregulariter 
costatum pilis minutis stellatis vestitum in receptaculo obconico 
paullum immersum, stylo sulcato, stigmate dense papilloso obscure 
3-6-dentato. [Flores suave odorati, petalis luteo-ochroleucis, 
calyce cinereo-griseo, Griffith, MS.], cf. Griff. Journals of Travels, 
91.— PI. III. figs. 7, 8. 
Upper Burma, Mogoung (Griffith, n. 719). 
Blade 4-9, petiole 4 in. long. Branches of inflorescence often 
opposite. After dehiscence the valves of the anthers remain 
attached to the connective, resembling four unequal-sized 
membranous wings. This species, which in Hook. Fl. B. Ind. 
i. 302 has been doubtfully placed under V. Roxburghiana, is 
certainly distinct. The style is longer, the base of the leaf is 
not rounded, but gradually narrowed into the short petiole. 
It will doubtless be found again in Upper Burma, and it will be 
of considerable interest to examine specimens anatomically, for 
the species of Vatica differ much in the structure of internodes 
and petioles.
