Bui'ck (Ann. Jard. Bot. Buitenzorg, Vol. 6, p 196) reduces this to 

 D. Tamparan, Korth. Korthals however describes the fi-uit of that 

 species as having accrescent calyx-lobes 13 inches long by 3 broad. 



2. DiPTEROCARPDS ScORTECHiNii, King, n. sp. A large tree : young 

 branches rather stout, densely clothed, (as are the short cylindiic buds, 

 the petioles and racemes) with large tufts of coarse, brownish, shining 

 hairs. Leaves coriaceous, elliptic-ovate, or sometimes elliptic-sub-ovate, 

 sub-entire, abruptly and shortly acuminate, slightly narrowed to the 

 rounded base ; upper surface glabrous or glabrescent, the nerves sparse- 

 ly stellate-pubescent, the midrib tomentose ; under surface sparsely 

 stellate-pubescent, the nerves (and especially the midrib) with long 

 silky hairs intermixed : main nerves 36 to 18 pairs, straight, oblique, 

 very prominent beneath : length 6 to 7"5 in., breadth 3 to 35 in , petiole 

 1 to 1"2 in. Eacemes few-flowered, short- Fruit (? immature) ovoid, 

 contracted under the mouth, glaucous, stellate-pubescent, '75 in. long 

 and '5 in. in diam ; accrescent calyx-lobes linear-oblong, reticulate, 

 slightly narrowed in the lower half, the apex obtuse, obscurely 3- 

 nerved (the middle nerve bold, the two lateral faint), 4 to 5 in. long and 

 •8 to 1 in. broad.

This is closely allied to B. ci-inittis. Dyer, to which Scortechini 

 doubtfully referred it. It differs from B. crinitus in its larger leaves 

 and stellate-pubescent fruit. It has also a different time of flowering; 

 for, as Scortechini remarks in his field notes, this is in immature fruit 

 in the beginning of March, while B. crinitus does not come into flower 

 until the end of April. 



3. DiPTEROC.\RPDS Skinneri, King, n. sp. A tall tree; youno- 

 branches thin, deciduously tawny-pubescent. Buds cylindric, narrow, 

 golden-sericeous. Leaves oblong-elliptic, narrowed in the upper half or 

 thii'd to the acute or shortly acuminate apex, slightly naiTowed to the 

 rounded base, upper surface glabx'ous or sparsely adpressed-pubescent, 

 the midrib tomentose, the lower sparsely stellate-pubescent, the midrib 

 and J6 to 19 pairs of straight oblique nerves adprcssed-sericeous ; 

 nerves prominent on the lower, faint on the upper, surface when dry :
