glabrous, the lower glaucous (except the midrib and nerves) especially 
when young* ; main nerves 7 to 9 pairs, ascending; rather straight : 
length 3*5 to 4*5 in., breadth 1'4 to 1*8 in.; petiole "45 to G in., rugulose, 
glaucous. Panicles axillary, few-flowered, shorter than the leaves, 
hoary, the Jlowers on short pedicels. Sepals slightly unequal, oblong, 
obtuse, tomentose on both surfaces. Ovary conical, tomentose ; the 
style very short, glabrous; stigma small, 3-lobed. Fruit (immature) 
ovoid- globose, apiculate, minutely tomentose ; accrescent sepals mem- 
branous, free from the fruit; obscurely 7- to 12-nerved, strongly 
reticulate, blunt, slightly narrowed to the concave base, at first 
puberulous but ultimately glabrous ; the longer 2*25 in. long, and '6 
to "75 in. broad, tlie others smaller.

In this species the two inner fruiting wings of the calyx are 
nearly as large as the three outer ; the leaves are veiy white underneath 
when young, but much less conspicuously so when adult. It is known, 
only by Curtis' and Maingay's specimens, none of which have com- 
plete flowers. Maingay 's specimens from Malacca have in fact no flowers ; 
but there is no mistaking their leaves as being exactly like those of 
llr. Curtis' from Penang. The vernacular name of this is Dammar 
laut dhan lesor. 
15. Shorea ciuata, King, n. sp. A medium-sized tree; young 
branches slender, dark-coloured, deciduously hoary -puberulous. Leans 
coriaceous, lanceolate or oblong-lanceolate, acuminate, the base cuncato ; 
both surfaces glabrous, minutely reticulate, the lower whitish when 
young, pale brown when dry ; main nerves 8 or 9 pairs, ascending, 
curved, shining on the lower surface: length 3 to 3 5 in., breadth S 
to 15 in., petiole "75 to *9 in. PanicUs 2 to 2*5 in, long, axillary and 
terminal, little-branched, few-flowered, hoary. Flmoers *5 in. long, 
secutid. Sepals ovoid-deltoid, obtuse, outside tomentose, inside gla- 
brous. Petals three times as long as the sepals, narrowly oblong, obtuse, 
slightly expanded at the base, ad pressed -sericeous outside, glabrescent 
inside. Stamens 30, in fascicles of 3, unequal, the shorter with undi- 
lated filaments, the longer with li laments dilated in the lower half; all 
with the connective produced into an apical process crowned by 3 to 
5 spreading cilia?. Ovary ovoid-conic, sericeous, with a short glabrous 
style. Fruit (immature) ovoid, apiculate, pale- tomentose, '5 in. long; 
accrescent Bepals membranous, reticulate : the three outer narrowly 
oblong, reticulate, 7-nerved : the two inner 2 in. long, and "3 in. broad,
