26 Dipterocarpacez. [ Vateria. 
anthers dehiscing laterally, apiculate; fruit spherical, densely 
tomentose, with strongly reflexed, enlarged sepals. 
Eratna-Kande (F. Lewis). 
This seems not to be a Vatica as thought by Livera, as the fruiting 
sepals are strongly reflexed, the stamens 25. Vateria has been sug- 
gested by Trimen in ms. The anther is not typical for Vateria, and 
buds are required to determine the imbrication of the calyx. The fruits 
at Peradeniya are all galled and cannot be regarded as normal.

Flowers shortly pedicellate; calyx glabrous; corolla fleshy, 
glabrous; stamens 10-15 in 2 rows; connective produced 
into a long curved process equalling the anther.
