restrict tho name JT. Dryolalanoidcs, Miq. There is in the Calcutta 
Herbarium an authentic specimen of the very gathering of the Soongic- 
pagoe plant on which Miquel worked, and I should refer it to H. 
micrantha Hook. fil. 
Petalandra micrantha, Harssk. has heen reduced by the authors of 
the Genera Plantarum (Vol. I. p. 193) to Hopea. It is however a different 
plant from this, and belongs to Miquel's section Eu-hopea, which is 
characterised by the nerves being prominent. By Dr. Burck, Petalandra 
is reduced to Boona. 
4. Hope a intermedia, King n. sp, A tree 60 to SO feet high \ 
young branches rather dai-k-colourecl, minutely lenticellatc, pnberulous. 
Leaves coriaceous, ovate-lanceolate, caudate-acuminate, the base cuneate, 
both surfaces glabrous; main nerves numerous, faint; length 2*5 to 
3 in M breadth 1 to 135 in.; petiole '35 to '6 in. slender, puberulous but 
finally glabrous. Panicles as in II. Mengarawan, the flowers pedicellate. 
Sepals sub-equal ; the two outer ovato, acuminate ; the three inner 
broader and more obtuse, all resinous outsido, glabrous and smooth in- 
side. Petals twice as long as the sepals, narrowly oblong, obtuse, falcate, 
densely sericeous externally, glabrous within. Stamens 12 ; the fila- 
ments dilated, shorter than the anthers ; the anthers short, crowned by 
a straight awn from the connective longer than the stamen. Ovary 
hour-glass shaped ; style short, stigma small. Ripe fruit ovoid, apicu- 
late, *2 in. long, pale, striate ; the two outer sepals accrescent, narrowly 
oblong-obtuse, narrowed to tho base, reticulate, obscurely 5- to 7-nerved, 
1'25 to 1*5 in. long and "25 in. broad; the inner three sepals not accres- 
cent, not longer than the fruit, and closely embracing it.

No. 3709. 
This species is no doubt, near to H. micrantha, Hook, til., but, accord- 
ing to Mr. Curtis, it is distinguishable from that, while growing, by its 
bark, this tree having a fissured bark like that of Shorea parvifolia, Dyer, 
while the bark of PL. micrantha is smooth and grey. The petals of 
this are also more sericeous than those of If. micrantha, the filaments 
are shorter than the anthers (not longer, as in H. micrantha), tho leaves 
are more glabrous, the petioles longer and more slender and more 
glabrous, and the fruit and accrescent sepals are smaller than in II. 
micrantha. I have therefore ventured, after mnch hesitation, to name 
this as a species, and from its relationship to II. micrantha and II. Aleu>ja- 
rawitn, 1 have called it II. inter media. Its vernacular name in Penang 
is Jankang. It has been suggested that this plant should be refer- 
red to 21. Dryobalanoides, Miq. — a course which I would have adopted 
with great pleasure had it becu clear what II. Drtjobalauoidcs really is.
