1. Hopea nervosa, King, n. sp. A tree 50 to 70 feet high : young 
branches dark-coloured, glabrous. Leaves coriaceous, oblong to elliptic- 
oblong, shortly acuminate, the base rounded or very slightly cuneatc ; 
both surfaces glabrous ; maiti nerves 16 to 18 pairs, spreading, bold 
and prominent on the lower; length 3o to 5 in , breadth 1*5 to 2"25 in. ; 
petiole '5 to '75 in., transversely wrinkled when dry. Flowers unknown. 
Ripe fruit ovoid-rotund, apiculate, glabrous, "5 in. long; the two outer 
sepals much enlarged, oblong-lanceolate, obtuse, slightly narrowed to 
the concave thickened smooth base, 10-nerved, 4 to 4*5 in. long, and 
*6 to *75 in. wide ; the three inner sepals not quite so long as the fruit, 
broadly ovate, obtuse, thickened, smooth, closely embracing but not 
adherent to the fruit.

This is a very distinct species, belonging to the group of JTopea 
with the nerves of the leaves bold. It is so distinct that, contrary to my 
general practice, I venture to name it without having seen the tiower. 
2. Hopea Ctjrtisii, King, n. sp. A tree 50 to 60 feet high : 
young branches slender, dark-coloured, lenticellate, almost glabrous. 
Leaves coriaceous, broadly ovate to ovate-oblong, shortly acuminate 
or acute, the base slightly unequal-sided, rounded, rarely sub-cuneate ; 
both surfaces glabrous, the upper slightly pnbemlous on the midrib 
near the base, the lower with several hairy glands at the base, the 
midrib sparsely and minutely stellatc-pubomlous ; main nerves 10 to 
13 pairs, curving, ascending, prominent beneath ; length 3 5 to 4*5 in., 
breadth 1*75 to 2*5 in. ; petiole '4 in., puberulous when young. Pani- 
chs axillary and terminal, lax, few-flowered. Flowers about '2 in. 
long, pedicelled. Sepals broadly ovate, blunt, concave, tomentose out- 
side, glabrous inside ; the inner two rather smaller and more glabrous 
than the others. Petals oblong, oblique, falcate, obtuse, partially tomen- 
tose outside, glabrous inside. Stamens 10, the filaments short, dilated j 
anthers ovate, short, the connective with an apical awn longer than 
the anther. Ovary broadly ovate, puberulous at the truncate apex, 
otherwise glabrous : style short. Ripe fruit ovoid, apiculate, pale 
striate, "3 in. long ; outer two sepals accrescent, narrowly-oblong, reti- 
culate, membranous, obscurely 5-nerved, obtuse, slightly narrowed 
to the concavo smooth base, 1*75 to 2*5 in. long and from '35 to *6 in. 
broad ; tho three inner non-accrescent sepals about as long as the
