concave at the base ; the three onter linear-oblong, obtuse, slightly 
narrowed to tlie concave base, 5-nerved, 2 25 in. long and 4- in. broad ;

This a good deal resembles 8. Maxwelliana, King ; bnt its leaves have 
more nerves, its slightly oblique petals are not saccate at the base, its 
ovary is ovoid- conical, and minutely tomentose with a short style ; 
whereas in S. Maxwelliana the petals are saccate at the base, and the 
ovary is hemispheric with a long style. 
11. Shorea paucipxora, King, n. sp. A tree 50 to 90 feet 
high : young branches slender, their bark brown pubernlous and 
lepidote. Leaves thinly coriaceous, from oblong to elliptic, shortly 
acuminate; the base abruptly cuneate, slightly unequal-sided, or 
(in the elliptic forms) almost rounded: main nerves 9 to 11 pairs, 
oblique, straight, prominent beneath j length 4 to 5 in., breadth 
18 to 25 in., petiole '6 to '7 in. Panicles few, axillary or 
terminal, few-flowered, 1'75 to 4 in. long, rather coarsely pubescent. 
Flowers '4 in. long, secund, shortly pedicellate, each subtended by 
an ovate, solitary, puberulons, deciduous bract. Sepals broadly ovate, 
tomentose outside, glabrous inside. Petals broadly elliptic, obtuse, 
concave at the base, veined, inside glabrous, the outside half glabrous 
and half adpressod-sericeous, Stamens 15, in 3 rows : the outer row 
smaller and with filiform filaments, the inner rows with filaments longer 
and expanded in the lower half; the anthers of all shortly ovate, 
the connective produced into an awn twice as long as the stamen. 
Ovary hemispheric, tomentose; style nearly 3 times as long, puberulous; 
stigma small. Ripe fruit unknown.

12. Shorea Kunstleri, King, n. sp. A tree 60 to 100 feet high: 
young branches slender, rusty-puberulous, their bark brown. Leaves 
coriaceous, elliptic, abruptly and shortly acuminate, the base rounded 
or slightly cuneate, both surfaces glabrous, the lower with a few stiff 
white hail's on the midrib and nerves ; main nerves 6 to 8 pairs, curved, 
ascending, prominent on the lower surface ; length 4 to 5 in., breadth 2 
to 2 4b in., petiole 5 in. Panicles axillary and terminal, 4 to 6 in. long, 
lax, few-flowered, scaly-puberulnus. Flowers '5 in. long, sub-sessile, 
4 or 5 together on the short branches of the panicles, secund, 
brae teat e \ the bracts broadly ovate, puberulons. Sepafa sub-equal,
