Resinous, glabrous or tomentose trees ; leaves entire coriaceous, 

 thinly penninerved reticulate-venose ; stipules small deciduous ; 

 inflorescence racemose ; flowers in racemose branches 1-seriate, sessile 

 or shortly pedicellate {Trop. Asia)). 



Q? Shorea Roxb. 2 — Flowers nearly of Hopea ; stamens 15, or 

 oftener 20-co ; connective beyond cells subulate-cuspidate. Germen 

 of Hopea ; style entire, 3-denticulate at apex. Fruit indehiscent sub- 

 coriaceous ; 3 lobes of fructiferous calyx accrescent, wing-shaped, 

 base closely connivent round pericarp. Seeds 1, or rarely 2, ovoid; 

 embryo fleshy ; cotyledons thick, unequal, usually enclosing superior 

 radicle. — Resiniferous, glabrous, tomentose, or furfuraceous trees ; 

 leaves entire or sinuate, parallel-nerved, often transversely reticulate- 

 venose ; axillary and terminal inflorescence (of Hoped), bracteate or 

 ebracteate 3 {Trop. Asia 4 ). 



10. Doona Thw. 5 — Flowers nearly of Hopea (or Shorea) ; sepals 

 obtuse ; 3 exterior larger in bud. Stamens 15 ; anthers oval-oblong ; 

 connective beyond cells rather thick subglandular subclavate. 

 Germen of Hopea; style subulate, stigmatiferous at apex. Fruit 

 indehiscent, strictly included within base of calyx ; 3 exterior sepals 

 much accrescent, wing-shaped beyond pericarp, erect patent obtuse. 

 Seed ovoid ; testa thin intruded between folds of embryo ; cotyledons 

 of exalbuminous embryo wide, much contortuplicate, enclosing 

 superior radicle. — Resiniferous glabrous trees ; leaves entire coria- 

 ceous thinly penninerved reticulate-venose ; stipules small, deciduous ; 

 inflorescence of Hopea* {Zeylcuiia 1 ).
