FOX WORTHY. 
10. Hopea sp. 
A form which differs from 11. pierrei in having usually more uniform, 
smaller and narrower leaves and green, short-stalked fruit. The leaves 
seem' to be without domatia. 
It is possible that some of the sterile material which has been referred 
to ll, pierrei , may belong to this species and the next.

11. Hopea sp. 
This differs from II. pierrei -in having a much larger fruit, which is 
sometime glutinous.

4. PENTACME A. DC. 
Sepals strongly imbricate. Petals- broad, spreading. Stamens 15. 
Anthers oblong,- on short broad filaments. Anther-cells equal, each pro- 
longed into a short appendix; the connective also prolonged, so that each 
anther has 5 apical appendages. Ovary glabrous, prolonged into a conical 
stylopodium; style filiform, glabrous. Stigma obtuse, indistinctly 3- 
toothed. The three outer segments of fruiting-calyx much larger than 
the others, narrowed into a stalk, but expanding into a broad base, which 
is adpressed to the lower portion of the fruit but does not enclose it. 
Four species known, two from the eastern Indian peninsula and two 
from the Philippine Islands. 
The wood is the least durable of any of our dipterocarps, but is con- 
siderably used because it is so abundant and readily worked and it is 
very satisfactory for purposes of temporary construction. There is quite 
a little resin present in the wood, but so far as I know, it is not used 
commercially. 
Pith with 12 to 25 resin-canals. Petiole with a semicircle of 7 to 9 
vascular bundles, each with one resin-canal ; 3 resin-canals in the central 
mass.
