Leaves broadly oblongs shortly and abruptly acuminate, base rounded;

5. SHOREA Koxb. 
Large resinous trees; stipules in a few species large and persistent, in 
most small and early deciduous. Leaves chartaceous or coriaceous; sec- 
ondai-y nerves prominent; tertiary nerves mostly parallel. Flowers as 
a rule in unilateral spikes or racemes, these distichous and regularly 
alternating on the branches of large axillary and terminal panicles. Each 
flower subtended by two, mostly deciduous, in a few species persistent 
and conspicuous, bracts. Sepals strongly imbricate, always hair}^ outside, 
and often inside also, on the margin of a broad obconical receptacle. 
Petals oblong, rarely ovate-oblong, hairy on the outside. Stamens gen- 
erally 15, in some species more. Antlier-cells generally equal; connective 
prolonged into a pointed appendage, generally longer than the anther, 
sometimes short or wanting. Segments of fruiting calyx with their broad 
bases tightly enclosing the fruit, the three outer ones generally longer 
tlian the others and much lono-er than the fruit. 
Ripe seed generally without albumen. Cotyledons thick, fleshy, gen- 
erally both bifid to their base, that is to the point whei'e they are attached 
to the apex of tlie hypocotyl (radicle) or to the petioles. 
Pith with 3 to 30 perimcdullary resin-canals, with now small now wide 
lumen. The structure of the petiole is various; usually it shows the 
characteristic form; viz., a semicircle of 7 to 9 isolated vascular bundles 
with alternating resin-canals and a central bundle-system without resin- 
canals; in other species there is found a central bundle system ^V^^ ^^^ 
or 1 to 3 resin-canals. 
The largest genus in the family; with more than 00 species, with 14 
species in the Philippines. Of our Philippine species four, S. halangeran, 
S. eximia, S. squmnata, and S. teysmanniana are extra-PhilippiTie in 
distrilmtion.
