3. Retinodendron Kunstleri, King n. sp. A tree, 20 to 50 feet 
high, sometimes a shrub : young brandies slender, deciduously stellatc- 
puberulous. Leaves thinly coriaceous, elliptic-oblong to oblong-hui iso- 
late, sometimes slightly obovatc, sub-acute or shortly and bluntly 
acuminate ; the base cuneate, rarely rounded : upper surface glabrous, 
the midrib and nerves pubescent ; the lower quite glabrous ; main nerves 
7 to 9 pairs, ascending, slightly prominent beneath : length 225 to 4 5 
in., breadth 1/25 to 1*75 in., petiole '25 to '4 in. Racemes axillary, 1 
to 1'5 in. long, sparsely scaly. Floivers '4- in. long. Calyx-lobes ovate-

outside. Anthers slightly and sharply apiculate. Ovary pnbernlous, 
stigma capitate. Ripe fruit globular, with a long curved apical beak, 
glabrous, about "25 in. in dinni. Calyx-lobes all accrescent, sub-equal, 
oblong, tapering slightly to the suh-obtuse apex, the base slightly 
auricled, thickly membranous, glabrous, 3-nerved, the longest about 
1*3 in. long., and '35 in. broad, loosely surrounding, and longer than, tho

PeraV ; Scorteobini, Wray, King's Collector ; very common at low 
elevations. 
In this species all the five calyx-lobes are accrescent and of nearly 
equal size. They are quite free from the ripe fruit, round which they 
form a loose semi-inflated investiture. Its nearest ally is Vatica 
bancana, Seheffer, (Retinodendron bancanum).

A tall resinous tree. Leaves coriaceous, entire, feather-veined. 
Flowers in axillary or terminal panicles- Calyx-tube very short, the 
segments ovate-rotund, imbricate. Stamens 30 to 35, the anthers ovate, 
the cells divergent at the bnse, acute, tho valves equal, the connective 
produced into an apical bristle-like appendage. Ovary 3-celled, thelocnli 
bi-ovulale; tho style short, terete, 3-angled at the apex. Fruit indehis- 
cent, 1-seeded, the pericarp coriaceous. Frnitiug-rafijx an open cup 
not embracing the fruit ; its lobes all slightly enlarged, spreading (not 
winged) ; the outer 3 rotund, broader than the 2 narrower inner lobes.
