filled with starch. At the base of fruit the inner surface of 
pericarp is lined by a flat membranous cup, the rim of which is 
divided into 10 linear, laciniate, upright lobes, which penetrate 
in between the lobes of the cotyledons (“cupule chalazique,” 
Heim).

Sepals imbricate, nearly glabrous. Anthers hispid, with very 
short hairs. Ovary pubescent ; style glabrous, articulate with 
ovary. Heim makes this a species of Vesquella ; but there is no 
reason for separating it from Stemonoporus.

Fl. Ceyl. i. 136.— Vateria reticulata, Thw. Enum. Pl. Zeyl. (1864)

eulata, Heim, Recherch. Diptérocarp. 92. 
Tertiary nerves closely reticulate. No bracteoles on pedicels. 
Sepals slightly imbricate, glabrous, shining. Anthers hispid ; 
connective without appendix. Ovary free, ribbed, conical, pubes- 
cent, gradually narrowed into long filiform style, which is not 
articulate with ovary ; stigma minute. Fruit large, ovoid-conical, 
with 5 deep furrows; pericarp thick. According to Heim a 
fibrous mass (d’origine chalazique) between the two cotyledons. 
Heim separates Kiinckelia from Stemonoporus chiefly on account 
of the fruit and the thickness of pericarp. The structure of the 
flower corresponds entirely with that of Stemonoporus.

Perfectly glabrous. 
Between the 5-7 pairs of principal secondary nerves a large 
number of shorter intermediate nerves, terminating in a system
