13. S. ?Moonii Thw. 
F. Lewis in the Ceylon Observer states that it is ‘‘ a small slender 
stemmed plant growing in ‘ Waturana’ land at Honakka, Maguru- 
ganga Valley, Pasdun Korale.”’ 
It is scarcely likely to belong to Stemonophorus and may not be 
a Dipterocarp at all. 
Monoporandra ‘Thw. is not worth separating from Stemonoporus 
Thw. It has 5 stamens, Stemonoporus 15 in the few cases where the 
flowers are known. The number of stamens varies within the species 
in some Dipterocarps showing that it is a character of little systematic 
importance. Both genera were reduced to Vateria by Bentham and 
Hooker, but in that genus the anthers dehisce laterally and not by 
pores. S. ?Moonit Thw. is a very curious plant and should probably 
form a separate genus.

Yakahulu is a general name for Dipterocarps sometimes qualified 
as Napat-yakahulu and Pulun-yakahulu.
