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 I.e. 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 H en slow 

 (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 1. c. p. 304 „Petala ineunte anthesi stamina invol- 



ventia". 



A rather large tree with slender bare trunk and wide-spreading top, com- 

 mon on riverbanks in the jungle near Klong Munsé. Flowering in February
