racliis ; pedicels usually in clusters of 3, "15 in. lon^. Calyx '2 in. lou^, 

 ovoid in bud, tube rather distinct campanulate, segments 5, subequal, 

 much imbricate, broadly triangular-obtuse, coi-iaceous, reflexed after 

 flower opens, densely brown-velvety on botli surfaces. Petals 0. 

 Stamens 2, op'Dosite the two upper calyx-segments; fiLiments thick and 

 flesliy one-tliird to one-half as long as anther. Ovary black-velvety, 

 ovate, shortly stipitate, gradually tapering upwards into the puberalous 

 incurved style ; ovules 2. Pud obovoid or orbicular, apex not apiculate, 

 firm, spherical or slightly compressed, I in. long, '6~8 in. across, 'b-'7 

 in. thick ; persistently brown-velvety. Seed solitary, orbicular, widely 

 oblong or snbrhomboid, pale-Vown in fresh, darker in old specimens, 

 finely longitudinally striate, '45 in. long, '35 in. wide, '2 in. thick. 



Var. typica ; leaves usunlly ovate-lanceolate, cuneate less often 

 rounded at the base ; filaments half as long as anthers ; pods orbicular 

 very little compressed. B. platysepaluni vau. typica Bak. loc. cit.

The tree here described as var. typica is also the typical variety of I), platy- 

 sepalum as described by Mr. Baker. For reasons given under that plant, the 

 present writer has found it necessary to treat Mr. Baker's var. WaUichii as a distinct 

 species. 



No native name is given for the specimens of D. platysepalum collected by 

 Griffith, Maingf'y, and Wray. Holmberg gives its Malay name an merely ' Koran ' ; 

 Derry for his n. 510 collected in 1890 (which, bj' the way, is qnite different from his 

 n. 510 collected in 1892) gives the name Sepan. For his n. 89 however Derry gives 

 the name Krangi s' Kellat ; the same name is used by Goodenongh for his n. 1693. 

 As explained under that species, Goodenough also uses this name, with the name 

 Krangi amhot as an alternative one, for D. Maingayi ; and it is true that though the 

 flowers of J). Maingayi are quite different from those of D. platysepalum, their 

 fruits are exceedingly alike and fruiting specimens of the two are only to be easih- 

 distinguished by the absence of pnbescencc from the leaves of D. Maingayi, the 

 presence of a close golden-brown pubescence on the under-surface of those of D. 

 piatysepaliun. Goodenougli gives no native name for the Johore examples, which 

 are quite like those from Perak &nd Malacca.
