Shorea.] xx. dipterocarpace^. 233 



hairy, and usually infested with large galls. The flowering and 

 fruiting specimens which have been referred to this from the 

 Philippines and elsewhere (Brandis, etc.) have nothing to do with 

 it. It is quite possible that it is the seedling of Dipterocarpus 

 crinitus. 



S. longisperma Roxh. Fl. Ind. ii. 618. 



" Nut sub-cylindric. A native of Prince of Wales' Island." 

 This is the whole of Roxburgh's description. It is not possible to 

 guess what he referred to, but it was probably not a Shorea. 



6. PACHYCHLAMYS, Dyer. 



Trees with large coriaceous leaves drying brown. Panicles 

 axillary and terminal, velvety. Flov/ers sessile; sepals and petals 

 as in Shorea. Stamens 15 in 3 rows, inner row longer with no 

 awns, 2 outer with awns. Ovary conical. Fruit ovoid, large, 

 pericarp woody; sepals much thickened, woody, outer 3 form-

 (rarely fully developed as in Shorea). Species about 5, chiefly

Usually referred to a section of Shorea and connected with it 

 by P. Ghyshertiana. The closely allied P. Beccariana Dyer gives 

 the important fat, Minyak Tengkawang.
