S. CALOPHYLLA, Wall. Cat. 9102, from Attran (Burma), consists of a glabrous 
branch with very large long and stoutly petioled ovate-lanceolate leaves, resembling 
those of S. ichnostachya; it is probably a form of tetrasperma. It is overlooked by 
Andersson. 
S. DENSA, Wall. Cat. 9103, from Martaban, also overlooked by Andersson, consists 
of a glabrous branch with linear-oblong petioled leaves 6 in. long. It isalso probably 
referable to tetrasperma.
