﻿96 S. Kurz — Coniributions towards a Knowledge [No. 2, 



Hae. Common in the swamp-forests and along muddy river banks of 

 Pegu and Martaban down to Tenasserim, chiefly in the alluvial plains, Fl. 

 Fr. Apr. May. 



2. A. Wallichii, Planch, in Ann. d. sc. Nat. 3 ser. XIII. 319; Hf. 

 Ind. Fl. I. 300. {A. extensus, Wall. Cat. 2052 ; DC. Prodr. XVI. 602 ; Hf. 

 Ind. Fl. I. 299 ; A. stelligerus, Wall. ap. DC. Prod. 1. c. 603 ? •, A. sp. 

 Griff Nat. Dicot. 568.) 



Hab. Frequent in the tropical forests of the Pegu Yomah and Marta- 

 ban down to Tenasserim and the Andamans; also Chittagong. Fl. Febr. 

 March ; Fr. Apr. May. 



The wings are described as subequal but all those that I saw were very 

 unequal, and it is possible that A. JVallicliii of Dyer is the same as A. 

 Griffitliii. At least several specimens of A. stelligerus, Wall. Cat. belong to 

 the latter. Wallich's specimens 1052-2 in HBC. from Silhet, in very unripe 

 fruit only, have the wings unequal. The plants are dimorphophyllous, 

 having elongate leaves 1 to \\ and 2 ft, long and others hardly 6 in. long on 

 different branches of the same stock flowering at the same time. The 

 panicles, too, vary from robust to slenderly-branched. 



Doiibtful s'pecies. 

 1. A. ATTENTJATUS, Dyer in Hf. Ind. Fl. I. 300. 

 Hab. Tenasserim and Andaman islands (Helf. 724.) 

 The specimen in HBC. is in panicle less the flowers and fruits and has 



the habit of A. Griffitliii ; the fruits, however, as described by Dyer, agree 



with those ascribed by me to A. extensus. 



Anisoptera, Korth. 



Consjpectus of species. 



Buhg. 1. ^ynaptea. Stamens only 15 — 18, the connective terminated in an acute 

 gland ; style filiform ; nuts only to about g of their length adnate to the calyx-tube. 



Yoimg shoots covered by a mealy or scurvy tomentum, ... ...A. odorata. 



Bubg. 2. Anisoptera. Stamens numerous, the connective produced into a bristle, style 

 thick and ovoid ; nuts inferior or nearly so. 



Apparently quite glabrous, ... ... ... ... A. glabra. 



1. A. ODOEATA (^Sunaptea odorata, Griff. Not. Dicot. 516, t. 685. A. 

 f. 5 ; Hopea grand ijlora, Wall. nom. nud. ; DC. Prod. XVI. 634 ; 8gnaptea 

 grandijlora, Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. Beng. XXXIX. 65 ; Vatica grandijloraj 

 Dyer in Hf. Ind. Fl I. 301). 



Hab. Tenasserim, from Moulmein southwards, not unfrequent. 



N. B. Vatica faginea Dyer in Hf. Ind. Fl. I. 301 from Mergui seems 

 not to differ from the above as far as the description goes. Hopea faginea 

 or, as it is marked in HBC, Sliorea JPenangiana, Wall. Cat, 963, is from 

 Penang and a true Anisoptera with quite inferior fruit.
