The late Father Scortechini's field notes contain the following 

 account of the flower : " The petals of this are red inside in the middle, 

 but pale towards the margins ; the stamens are numerous, 2-seriate, 

 united in a ring by their enlarged bases, falling off together : staminodes 

 many, short, adpressed to the ovary. Ovary pubescent, scaly towaida 

 the base. Fruiting-calyx reddish." The species comes near D. 

 Griffithii : but is distinguislied from it by the characters which I have 

 noted under that species. Flowers of D. Griffithii are, however, wanting 

 for comparison. 



10. DiPTEROCARPUS KUNSTLERi, King, n. sp. A tree 80 to 120 feet 

 high ; young branches flattened, at first sparsely covered with minute 

 scurfy deciduous pubescence, ultimately glabrous, but always with 

 oblique tawny-tomentose annuli. Buds narrowly cylindric, hoary- 

 canescent. Leaves elliptic or sub-rotund-elliptic, very shortly acumi- 

 nate, the base rounded or sub-cuueate, the edges undulate or sub- 

 crenate, both surfaces glabrous : main nerves 16 to 18 pairs, oblique, 

 straight, prominent on the lower surface: length 7"5 to 11 in., breadth 

 4'5 to 7 in., petiole 1'5 to 2 in. Uacemes 6 to 8 in. long, often bifid, 4- 

 to 6-flowered, glabrous. Floivers 2'5 to 3 in. long, glaucous. Calyx-tube 

 narrowly obconic, 5- winged, glaucous. Petals linear, obtuse, glaucous. 

 Fruit sub-globular, an inch or more long, Avith 5 wings about 25 in. 

 wide : accrescent calyx-lobes oblong, obtuse, slightly narrowed towards 

 the base, glabrous, reticulate, 3-nerved, 6 or 7 in. long and about 1'25 

 in. broad.

Allied to D. cjrandiflnriis ; but with larger leaves, smaller fruit 

 and different buds. Allied also to D. Griffithii but wath smaller fruit 

 and diffei-ent buds. This species has leaves like D. trinervis Bl. and 

 D. retusus Bl., but differs from these in having winged fruit : it also 

 resembles B. Byeri, Pierre, which, however, has longer leaves with 

 hairy petioles and more narrowly winged fruit. 



11. Dii'TEKOCARPUS Grifpitiiii, Miq. Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. I, 213. 

 A tree 100 to 125 feet high: young branches stout, sub-compressed, 

 minutely tawny-canesceut ; the leaf buds ovoid, densely covered with
