The Perak specimens are not in flower ; and I have seen none 

 from elsewhere that are. The above imperfect description of the 

 flower has therefore been copied from Burck (Ann. Jard. Bot. Buitcnzorg, 

 VI. 217). The Perak specimens perfectly agree, as to leaves, with 

 an authentic specimen of Miquel's from Sumatra, in tlie Calcutta Her- 

 barium. Miquel never saw either flower or fruit. In fact, of the 

 twenty new species of Dipterocarpece described by this author in the 

 supplement to his Flora of the Netherlands India, the flowers are des- 

 cribed in only two, and in these but jiartially !
