5 smaller superposed, or more rarely go ; filaments sometimes dilated 

 at base ; anthers ovate or more usually oblong or linear, introrse, 

 inwardly longitudinally rimose ; exterior valve of cells usually larger ; 

 connective usually produced beyond cells, apiculate. Grermen entirely 

 or for the greater part free, incomplete or complete, 3 or more rarely 

 2-locular ; style either shortly terete, stigmatiferous clavate or 

 capitate at apex, or longer subulate entire or 3-denticulate at apex. 

 Ovules in each cell 2, descending ; micropyle extrorse superior. 

 Capsule indehiscent or 3-valved 1, 2-spermous, furnished with 

 variously accrescent equally or unequally wing-shaped patent, free 

 base of sepals ; seeds exalbuminous ; embryo fleshy ; cotyledons sub- 

 equal or unequal thick plano-convex. — Resinous trees ; leaves alter- 

 nate entire coriaceous penninerved reticulate-venose ; stipules small 

 or very fugacious sometimes ; flowers in compound often much 

 ramified terminal racemes 1 {Asia and Tropical Africa*). 



5. Pachynocarpus Hook, f." — Flowers of Vatica ; lanceolate 

 lobes of perigynous calyx imbricated when young, disappearing in 

 fruit. Stamens 15. Germen 3-locular, base inferior adnate to interior 

 of concave receptacle. "Fruit subglobose thick-coriaceous, indehiscent, 

 surrounded by truncate adnate receptacle. Testa of seed thin ; 

 cotyledons thick-fleshy convolute-lobed." — A lofty resinous tree ; 

 leaves alternate entire penninerved reticulate-venose ; stipules . . ? ; 

 flowers 4 in much ramified cymiferous racemes 5 (Borneo*).
