The Perak specimens are not in flower ; and I have seen none 
from elsewhere that are. The above imperfect description of the 
(lower has therefore been copied from Burck (Ann. Jard. Bot. Buitenzorg, 
VI. 217). The Perak specimens perfectly agree, as to leaves, with, 
an authentic specimen of Miqnel's from Sumatra, in tho Calcutta Her- 
barium. Miquel never saw either flower or fruit. In fact, of tho 
twenty new species o£ Diplerocarpem described by this author in the 
supplement to his Flora of the Netherlands India, tbe flowers aro des- 
cribed in only two, and in these but partially !

Stipules in pairs, persistent, ovate, acuminate, longer than the petioles, 
reticulate, laxly pubescent and warted. " Wings of fruiUnij-caUjx
