when expanded, minutely yellowish-pulverulent, tomentose outside, 
glabrous inside. Stamens 15, sub-equal : apical awn curved, longer 
than the anther. Ovary ovoid, narrowing upwards into the style ; stigma 
minute. Fruit ovoid, very slightly apiculato, striate, pale pubescent, 
about *6 in. long and 3 in. in diam., the persistent calyx covering the 
lower third of tbe fruit, sub-glabrous, thickened and concave at the 
base; the teeth deltoid, spreading. Richetia penangiana, Heim in Bull.

The leaves of this species, although larger, resemble those of /?. 
Cui tisii : but the fruits of the two are quite different. Oue of Mr. 
Curtis' specimens, No. -125) (entnnamicfited from Kcw), forms Hie tyj f 
a new genus culled liir.hetia, which M. Heim bun founded (1. c. p., 975, 
also in his *' Recherches sur les Dipterocarpaeees " p. 50), without having 
seen its flowers. I have retained for this M. Henri's specific name, while 
referring it to Beddome's older genus. The vernacular name of the 
Bpecies is Dammar Flam. 
3. Balanocarpus anomalus, King. A tree : young branches slender, 
dark-coloured, minutely lenticellate, the tips puberulous. Leaves coria- 
ceous, ovate, acuminate; the base broad, sub-cuneate ; both surfaces 
glabrous ; main nerves 6 or 7 pairs, ascending, curving, not prominent : 
length 2 25 to 2'5 in., breadth 1 to 1*3 in., petiole 6 to '7 in. Panicles 
numerous, axillary and terminal, longer than the leaves, pubescent, 
their lateral branchlets bearing 6 to 8 sub-secund flowers. Flowers 
shortly pedicelled, '15 in. long. Sepah broadly ovate, connate at the 
base, obtuse, minutely tomentose outside, glabrous inside. Petals 
elliptic, blunt, yellowish adpressed-sericeous outside, glabrous inside, 
only about twice as long an the sepals, spreading aud reflexed so as to 
expose the stamens and pistil. Stamens 10, in two rows; the filaments 
longer than the anthers, dilated ; anther short, ovate, its connective pro- 
duced into an apical awn as long as itself. Ovary ovoid, striate, pubes- 
cent, style short aud thick, stigma small. 
Kedah : Curtis, No. 1054. 
Mr. Curtis is as yet the only collector of this, and his specimens 
have no fruit. I refer it to this genus, although its flowers differ from 
those of the other species known to me, in having petals only about 
twice as long as the sepals, spreading nnd rcflcxed so that the andro- 
gynceciura is quite exposed ; and in having only 10 stamens In ot her 
rOBpecta the specimens ngivi' with Hti/ntf/atr/xi*. Its vernacular name 
in Kedah is Malaut.
