630 BURMA, ITS PEOPLE AXD PRODUCTIONS. 



(IT. odornta) 49llis., Thyn-gan-wa 481bs., and Thyn-gati-hypu. They arc toiifjli, strong, 

 and durable -woods, but the unseasoned timber I have noticed to be liable to be 

 '' icormed" or attacked by Coleopterous insects, and the trees would therefore benefit 

 by being water seasoned for a time. For canoes they stand first of any timbers in 

 Burma. 



Vatica, Linnceiis. 



C'ah/x-fuhe very short, adnato to the torus, the lobes imbricate. Stamens 15, the 

 connective produced in a sharp point, shorter than the unequal anther-cells. Ornry 

 inserted with a broad base, free, 3-celled. Style linear. Capsules free, coriaceous, 

 iiTegularly dehiscent, or dehiscing from the apex by 6 valves, 1 -seeded. Glabrous trees, 

 with entire leaves. Flowers fragrant, racemose, in panicles.

 egg supported by five, sub-equal, enlarged, calyx-lobes, shorter than the calyx. 



Y. TKiGTNA, Griff. On top of Pator Hill near Mergui at 6000 feet. 



Kurz says: "Griffith's description is a very complete and good one, but still I

 itself is stated to be superior and free."
