Әновға KuwsrLERI, King in Journ. As. Soc. Bengal, for 1893, pt. 2, p. 116. 
A tree 60 to 100 feet high; young branches slender, rusty-puberulous, their 
bark brown. Leaves coriaceous, elliptic, abruptly and shortly acuminate, the base rounded 
or slightly cuneate, both surfaces glabrous, the lower with a few stiff white hairs on 
the midrib and nerves; main nerves 6 to 8 pairs, curved, ascending, prominent on 
the lower surface; length 4 to 5 in., breadth 2 tq 24 in., petiole “5 to 7 in. Pani- 
cles axillary and terminal, 4 to 6 in. long, lax, few-flowered, scaly-puberulous Flowers 
-5 in. long, sub-sessile, 4 or 5 together оп the short branches of the panicles, secund, 
bracteate; the bracts broadly ovate, puberulous. Sepals sub-equal, broadly ovate, acute, 
tomentose outside, the edges ciliate, glabrous inside. Petals linear-oblong, obtuse; the 
bases obliquely expanded, sericeous externally, glabrous internally. Stamens 15, sub- 
equal; the filaments longer than the anthers, flattened ; anthers ovate, short, the eonnective 
terminated by a curved awn much longer than the stamen. Ovary elongate-conie, puber- 
ulous, style short. Ripe fruit broadly ovoid, tapering into a cone and crowned by 
part of the style, adpressed pale tomentose. Sepals membranous, reticulate; the three 
larger narrowly oblong, obtuse, tapering to the concave non-reticulate base, 9-nerved, 
3-5 in. long and "7 in. broad; the two inner 2 in. long, linear, 3-nerved. 
Perak: King’s Collector, Nos, 3474 and 3700. 
This species is allied to S. bracteolata, Dyer, but its leaves have fewer nerves, smaller flowers, 
narrower petals, and a short style.

PLATE 187A. 
SHorREA CILIATA, King in Journ. As. бос. Bengal, for 1893, pt. 2, p. 118. 
A medium-sized tree; young branches slenler, dark-coloured, deciduously hoary- 
puberulous. Leaves coriaceous, lanceolate or oblong-lanceslate, acuminate, the base 
cuneate; both surfaces glabrous, minutely reticulate, the lower whitish when young, 
pale brown when dry; main nerves 5 to 9 pairs, ascending, curved, shining on the 
lower surface; length 2:5 to 35 in., breadth "8 to 15 in, petiole "75 to "9 in. 
 Panicles 2 to 25 in. long, axillary and terminal, little-branched, few-flowered, hoary. 
Flowers *5 in. long. Sepals ovoid-deltoid, obtuse, outside tomentose, inside glabrous. 
` Petals three times as long as the sepals, narrowly oblong, obtuse, slightly expanded 
at the base, adpressed-sericeous outside, glabrescent inside. Stamens 30, in fascicles 
of 3, unequal, the shorter with undilated filaments, the longer with filaments dilated 
in the lower half; all with the connective produced into an apical process crowned by 
8 to 5 spreading eilie. Ovary ovoid-conie, sericeous, with a short glabrous style. Fruit 
` (immature) ovoid, apiculate, pale-tomentose, ۰5 in. long; accrescent sepals membranous, 
reticulate; the three outer narrowly oblong, reticulate, 7-nervel; the two inner 2 in.
