Siamese specimens they are broadly obovate and very obtuse (as in Cinga- 
lese specimens) and always quite entire; but my material is not very 
large and Koorders en Valeton state |. c. p. 304 that they have found 
(in Java) specimens with entire (or nearly so) and dentate-serrulate 
leaves in the very same tree. It is not quite correct when Henslow 
(in Flora Brit. India p. 439) says that ,the petals are not embracing the 
filaments‘; I have examined good flower material and found that the 
filaments were always enclosed by the small petals; see also Koorders 
en Valeton |. c. p. 304 ,Petala ...., imeunte anthesi stamina invol-
