nan-owed to the base, 7-ncrved, 2' 75 in. long, and *45 in. broad ; the 
two inner of the same shape, but fcw-nerved 3 only P5 in. long, and '25

Penang: Curtis, No. 199. 
A species known only by Mr. Curtis' solitary specimen. The 
connectives of the inner anthers are ciliate, somewhat in the fashion 
of 8* ciliata, King ; but the leaves of that species are very different. 
18. SnoREA stellata, Dyer in Hook, fil Fl. Br. Ind. I, 301. A 
tree 100 to 150 feefc high ; young branches slender, at lirst stellato- 
puberulous, but speedily glabrous^ with bark dark-coloured and sparse- 
ly lenticellato. Leaves thinly coriaceous, ovate-lanceolate, fcho base 
rounded: upper surfaces glabrous, the lower very minutely lepidote on 
the reticulations ; main nerves 8 to 11 pairs, rathor straight, oblique, 
prominent on the lower surface ; length 4 to 5*5 in., breadth 1'75 to 
2'25 in., petiole "7 to "9 in. Panicles axillary or terminal, crowded at 
the extremities of the branches, many-flowered, 4 to 6 in. long; minute- 
ly Btellato-pubescent. Flowers "25 in. in diani. Calyx minutely greyish- 
tomentosc, the segments ovate-oblong, sub-acute, valvate, erect. Petals 
broadly ovate, obtuse, pubescent outside, spreading. Stamens 15, the 
filaments short, broad ; the anthers linear-elongate, shortly bi-raucronato, 
the connective also shortly mucronate. Ovary ovate-globular, grooved, 
very tomentose j the stylo short ; the stigma ovoid, small. lUpe frn it 
ovoid, apiculate, tomentose, *5 in. long ; sepals all enlarged, sub- 
equal, membranous, linear-oblong, sub-acute, much narrowed at the 
base, quite free from the fruit, 5-ribbcd, reticulate, 4*5 in. long, and 
about "6 in. broad. Parasftorea stellata, Kurz, Journ. As. Soc, Bengiil,

Perak: King's Collector, No. 7505. Distrib. Burmah. 
None of the Perak specimens are in fruit ; but in leaves and flowers 
they agree absolutely with Kurz's Burmese specimens. The calyx in 
all is quite valvate, and it was on this character chiefly that Kurz based 
the genns Parashorea. 
19. Shorea Maranti, Burck in Ann. Jard. Bot. Buitenzorg, VI. 
217. A small tree : young branches dark-coloured, stellate-puberulons. 
Leaves thinly coriaceous, more or less broadly elliptic or elliptic-oblong, 
shortly abruptly and bluntly acuminate ; the base broad, rounded, or 
almost truncate ; upper surface glabrous, the midrib and nerves minu- 
tely tomentose or pubescent when young ; lower surface more or less 
sparsely minutely stellate-pnberulous, the sides of the midrib, especi- 
ally at the axils of the main nerves, glandular and densely covered with 
musses of brown pale-edged scales : main nerves 12 to 16 pairs, oblique,
