224 NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. 
15, 3-seriate; cells quite connate from apex (S/emonoporus'), some- 
times, more rarely ©; valves of anthers distinct at apex and subulate- 
acuminate’ (Hemiphractum®). Germen of Vatica, 3-locular; style 
subulate. Capsule globose or ovoid, coriaceous or subfleshy, furnished 
with base of sepals scarcely accrescent and reflexed, indehiscent or 
3-valved. Embryo of thick seed fleshy ; cotyledons unequal, usually 
involute or corrugate-lobed, enclosing superior radicle.— Resinous 
glabrous, furfuraceous, or tomentose trees; leaves entire coriaceous 
penninerved reticulate-venose ; stipules small or almost wanting, de- 
ciduous, more rarely larger, persistent ; flowers axillary, 1-3-nate 
or oftener in racemose axillary simple or terminal ramified cymes, 
sometimes 1-lateral (Zrop. Asia’). 
7. Monoporandra Tuw.’—Flowers small, nearly of Valeria ; 
stamens 5, alternipetalous; anther valves’ subequal or unequal ; con- 
nective muticous. Germen, small fruit, fructiferous calyx, and seed 
of Wateria? Ramified glabrous or slightly tomentose trees ; leaves 
entire coriaceous penninerved reticulate-venose ; stipules minute, 
deciduous or 0 ; axillary inflorescence of Vateria (Zeylania’). 
8. Hopea Roxs.’—Flowers nearly of Valeria; receptacle short. 
Sepals 5, subfree, closely imbricate, unequal ; exterior 2 larger in bud. 
Stamens 10, of which 5 are alternipetalous, larger, and 5 oppositi- 
petalous; or much oftener 15, 3-seriate, of which 10 are alterni- 
petalous ; filaments often dilated at base, anthers introrse ; connective 
subulate, cuspidate. Germen of Vateria; style more or less dilated 
at base, apex shortly terete or subulate. Fruit indehiscent ; 2 lobes 
of fructiferous calyx accrescent, wing-shaped, closely connivent round 
base of pericarp. Seed ovoid; embryo exalbuminous, cotyledons 
thick-fleshy, unequal, sometimes inclosing superior radicle.—
