" Perak: Larut Hills, the Cottage (Ridley 52:36). 



Really I think nearest A. macrantlia, but the leaves 

 are much smaller than any other species known to me, 

 and ovate sometimes almost obovate. 



DIPTEROCARPEAE. 



A number of species have been added to this order since 

 the publication of the Materials, among which are 

 Shorea barbata, Brandis Journ. Linn. Soc. XXXI. p. 81. 

 This is one of the trees known here as "^Resak," and 

 produces a high class timber. It has rather small ovate 

 lanceolate coriaceous leaves with a dense greyish yellow 

 pubescence beneath and long lax panicles of grey buds. 

 The flowers are .small with 20-30 anthers bearded at the 

 tip. The pistil is woolly also. This plant has only been 

 collected in Malacca at Batang Malaka by Goodenough 

 (Xo. 1789) and the' fruit is as yet unknown. It is allied 

 to 8. ciliata, King. 

 8. gibbosa, Brandis lc. 99. Is a lofty tree with brown rough 

 bark. The large branches are peculiar in dilating at the 

 base into a kind of triangular boss of large size, as if they 

 were putting out buttresses. The leaves are ^ inches 

 long and two inches across, glabrous dark green and 

 rather thin in texture ovate acuminate. The flowers 

 are small and pink in few flowered secund racemes. The 

 sepals are avooIIv, the petals glabrous inside and woolly
