The stipules are larger than in any other species of Shorea whieh we 
have and thci^e stipules are frequently persistent and extend nearly around 
the stem. In some cases^ it seems that tlie stii^ules drop early and this 
makea it more difficult to recognize the species. There is great variation 
in the abundance of the stellate hairs. The leaves are sometimes fonnd 
to be almost glabrous^ but this is not very commonly the case and usually 
results in a very distinct form.
