acuminate, fern, flowers 1-3 together long-pedicelled axillary tomentose, 

 ovary tomentose 2-celled, stigmas dilated triangular. Hopea eglandulosa,

TIPPERA, Roxburgh. ARRACAN; in forests rare, Kurz. CHITTAGONG; at Seeta- 

 koond,7.Z).fi-. $ T.T. 



Au evergreen tree, 40-50 ft., Kurz; branches pendulous, slender. Leaves 2-3 

 by 1-1 i n - thinly coriaceous, pale when dry, reticulate on both surfaces, base un- 

 equal, nerves 56 pair ; petiole slender, ^ ^ in. Flowers, male glabrous ; fern. ^ in. 

 diam., solitary or few, axillary, pedicels puberulous. Ovary velvety-pubescent ; 

 stigmas cuneate, crenate. I have seen neither fern, flower nor fruit, nor any Burmese 

 specimens, and I am hence uncertain as to Kurz's plant being Wallich's, which are all 

 from the Calcutta Gardens; his description differs from it in the much smaller leaves 

 in. long. 



9. C. subsessilis, Kurz For. Fl. ii. 364 ; glabrous except the pubes- 

 cent inflorescence, leaves oblong to elliptic-oblong or oblong-lanceolate sub- 

 acute or acuminate, flowers small very shortly pedicelled, ovary pubescent 

 2-celled, fruit ellipsoid slightly 4-lobed puberulous, stigmas minute. 



CHITTAGONG, ARRACAN and MARTABAN, Kurz. 



An evergreen tree, 25-30 ft. ; branches slender. Leaves 4-6 in., chartaceous ; 

 nerves 10-12 pair, very slender, laxly reticulate, margins waved or subcrenate ; 

 petiole in. Flowers clustered, i in. diam., subsessile, axillary and at the scars of 

 fallen leaves. Sepals orbicular, concave. Stigmas 2 or 3, triangular. Fruit |-| in. 

 long, obscurely 4-lobed, shortly beaked, orange-coloured ; peduncle thickened, -J^ in. 

 1 have seen only one authentic specimen, and that in fruit, sent by Dr. King, 

 which differs from Kurz's description in the more lanceolate acuminate leaves.
