NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. 
closely surrounded by free sacciform accrescent base of calyx (tuber- 
culate, costate, longitudinally winged or transversely lamellate) and 
crowned with very unequal (smaller 3, larger 2, wing-shaped) erect, 
rather rigid, venose lobes. Seeds free; cotyledons of exalbuminous 
embryo unequal, thick, fleshy, corrugate, lobed, or contortuplicate ; 
radicle superior.—Tall resinous trees; leaves alternate coriaceous, 
entire or sinuate-dentate, parallel penninerved, transversely venose 
between nerves; stipules large, valvate, closed, including germen, 
afterwards circumscissile at base, leaving annular cicatrice, deciduous ; 
flowers' in scanty axillary racemes (Asta and Trop. Oceania’). 
3. Anisoptera Korru.*—Flowers nearly of Dipterocarpus, recep- 
tacle obconical concave. Sepals perigynous, scarcely connate at 
base, lanceolate, at first imbricated, finally subvalvate or open. Corolla 
contorted and stamens ©; connective subulate-cuspidate ; exterior 
valve of cells, usually larger. Germen 3- or more rarely 2- or 4, 5- 
locular, partly inferior; ovules of Dipterocarpus; style . . . .? thick 
conical, apex attenuate very shortly 2—5-fid. Fruit capsular, inde- 
hiscent, partly inferior; seed 1 (of Dipterocarpus) ; sepals 2, wing- 
shaped, accrescent round fruit as in Dipferocarpus ; smaller 3; all 
inserted on receptacle adnate to fruit (i.e. subepigynous).—Resini- 
floral trees; leaves of Dipterocarpus; stipules small or minute, caducous; 
flowers in loose compound ramified terminal racemes (Hastern Tropical 
India, Archipelago’). 
4. Vatica L.'—Flowers subregular ; receptacle narrow subplane or 
rather concave. Sepals 5, free or connate at base, imbricate when young, 
afterwards subvalvate or open. Corolla contorted. Stamens usually 
15,° of which 5 are oppositipetalous ; 5 other alternipetalous, larger ;
