Vol. VJ. p. 299. Hamilton distinguishes his species D. laevis by its 
flattened branchlets, and perfectly glabrous leaves and petioles, while 
tuberculatus Gaertn. has terete branches and pubescent leaves and 
petioles. The former (called Ihdia Garjan, by the natives of Chitta- 
gong) yields, he says, no wood-oil ; while the latter (called Telia 
Garjan) does. The materials before me do not enable me to differen- 
tiate the two as species. Moreover, specimens sent to me by Dr. E. 
Thurston, Reporter on Kconomie Products to the Government of India, 
(and which had been collected by the Forest Officer of Chittagong 
under the vernacular names Dulia and Telia Garjan) appear exactly 
alike. Careful investigation in the field may however prove that there 
is some better basis for Hamilton's view than the trifling- differences 
which he has noted in the outline of the branchlets and the pubescence 
of the leaves. I am not at all satisfied that the Southern Indian tree 
named D. indicus by Beddome is rightly reduced here. Better Herba- 
rium specimens than any which I have seen, and investigation in the 
held, are I think required to settle this point also. 
5. Dipterocarpds Kekiui, King, n. sp. A tall tree ; all parts, 
except the petals, glabrous ; young branches thin, slightly flattened 
at the tips, not annular. Buds narrow, cylindric. Leaves coriaceous, ovate- 
elliptic, acute or very shortly and bluntly acuminate, the edges undulate, 
the base cuueate; main nerves 8 to 11 pairs, oblique, straight, bold and 
shining on the lower surface ; length 3 to 4 in., breadth 2 to 25 in., 
petiole '9 to 11 in. Panicles short, spreading, few-Qowered. Flowers 
15 in, long. Calyx-tube glaucous. Petals linear-oblong, obtuse, more 
or less pubescent or tomentose towards their middle externally. Fruit 
turbinate, smooth, 1 to 1*15 in. in diam. ; accrescent calyx-lobes linear- 
oblong, blunt, reticulate, 3-nerved, 4"5 to 5 in. long, and 1*25 to 1*5 in. 
broad : minor lobes very short, broad, rounded.

Mr. Curtis describes this as a very large tree yielding an oil. It 
resembles D. Hasseltii, Bl., but has much smaller leaves. 
I have named this species in honour of Dr. Kerr, an enthusiastic 
Botanist much interested in the Malayan Flora. Closely allied to this, 
and perhaps identical with it, is the tree represented by Mr. Curtis* 
specimen (Waterfall, Peuaug) No. 1653. The young wood of the 
latter is however paler than that of D. Kerrii from Pangkore and 
Malacca, and the leaves are puborulous, not glabrous, beneath. I have 
seen no flowers of it.
