This species is allied to S. bracteolata, Dyer, but its leaves have 
fewer nerves, smaller flowers, narrower petals, and a short style. 
13. Shorea bracteolata, Dyer in Hook, fit WL Br. Ind. I, 305. A 
tree 50 to 150 feet high ; young brandies minutely furfaraceous- 
pubemlous, speedily glabrescent, their bark dark-coloured. Leaves 
coriaceous, elliptic-oblong, shortly acuminate (often sub-obtuse when 
old), narrowed slightly to the rounded or emarginate base; upper 
surface quite glabrous; the lower yellowish fnrfnraceons-puberulous 
to glabrous ; main nerves 12 to 16 pairs, spreading, prominent beneath : 
length 4 to 6 in., breadth I '6 to 2'5 in., petiole *45 to *6 in. Panicles 
axillary, few-flowered, 2*5 to 6 in. long, glabrous. Mowers "65 in. long, 
shortly pedicellate, each subtended by 2 elliptic, obtuse, 3-nerved, pubei u- 
lous, deciduous bracts '35 in long. Sepals lanceolate, obtuse, minutely 
tomentose outside, the two inner smaller. Petals ovate-lanceolate, obtuse ; 
the bases expanded, glabrous. Stamens 15, in two rows, the filaments 
less than half as long as the ovate obtuse anthers ; appendix of connective 
subulate, twice as long as the anther, deourved when old. Ovary ovoid, 
attenuated upwards, sub-glabrous ; the style long, filiform ; stigma 
small. Ripe fruit ovoid, apiculate, *6 in. long, embraced by, but (except 
at the very base) free from the calyx ; sepals accrescent, mem- 
branous, reticulate and concave at the base : the three outer narrowly 
oblong, blunt, slightly narrowed above the concave base, 10-nerved, 
35 in. long, and 6 in. broad ; the two smaller about 2 in. long, and *2
