Burck (Ann. Jard. Bot. Buitenzorg, Vol. 6, p 196) reduces this to 
D. Tamparan, Kortli. Korthals however describes the fruit of that 
species as having accrescent calyx-lobes 13 inches long by 3 broad. 
2. DiiTiiROCABPUS Scortechinii, King, n. sp. A large tree: young 
branches rather stout, densely clothed, (as are the short cylindric buds, 
the petioles and racemes) with large tufts of coarse, brownish, shining 
haiis. Leaves coriaceous, elliptic-ovate, or sometimes elliptic-snb-ovnte, 
sub-entire, abruptly and shortly acuminate, slightly narrowed to tho 
rounded base ; upper surface glabrous or glabrcscent, the nerves sparse- 
ly stellate-pubescent, the midrib tomcntose ; under surface sparsely 
stellate-pubescent, the nerves (and especially the midrib) with long 
silky hairs intermixed: main nerves 16 to 18 pairs, straight, oblique, 
very prominent beneath : length 6 to 7*5 in., breadth 3 to 3 5 in , petiole 
1 to 1*2 in. Racemes few-flowered, short. Fruit (t immature) ovoid, 
contracted under the mouth, glaucous, stellate-pubescent, "75 in. long 
and '5 in. in diam ; accrescent calyx-lobes linear-oblong, reticulate, 
slightly narrowed in the lower half, the apex obtuse, obscurely 3- 
nerved (the middle nerve bold, the two lateral faint), 4 to 5 in. long and 
•8 to 1 in. broad.

This is closely allied to P. crimtus. Dyer, to which Scortechini 
doubtfully referred it. It differs from D. crinitus in its larger leaves 
and stellate-pubescent fruit. It has also a different time of flowering ■ 
for, as Scortechini remarks in his field notes, this is in immature fruit 
in the beginning of March, while D. crinitus does not come into flower 
until the end of April. 
3. DiPTEEOCAitrus Skixxerj, King, n. sp. A tall tree; young 
branches thin, deciduously tawny-pubescent. Buds cylindric, narrow, 
golden-sericeous. Leaves oblong-elliptic, narrowed in the upper half or 
third to the acute or shortly acuminate apex, slightly narrowed to the 
rounded base, upper surface glabrous or sparsely adpressed-pubesceut, 
tbe midrib tomcntose, the lower sparsely stellate-pubescent, the midrib 
and J 6 to 19 pairs of straight oblique nerves adpressed-sericeous ; 
nerves prominent on the lower, faint on the upper, surface when dry :
