NOTES ON DIPTEROCARPS. 



Figure 191, a branch of the compound raceme of Shorea bracteolata showing 

 the natural position of the flower: br. = bracts, § nat. size; figure 192, a 

 flower of Shorea bracteolata. nat. size. 



The young plant is drawn in figure 193 and the normal con- 

 dition of the cotyledons in 194, 195, 196 and 197. 



An abnormal seed was found with the plaeentar cotyledon 

 much larger than the outer (figures 198. 199, 200, and 201). 



The leaves of the pair which follow the cotyledons are more 

 triangular than the leaves of the mature tree. Figure 12 on p. 165 

 of this Journal Xo. 76, 1917, suggests this, but is not good for its 

 purpose.
