The stipules are larger than in any other species of Shorea which we 
have and these stipules are frequently persistent and extend nearly around 
the stem. In some cases, it seems that the stipules drop early and this 
makes it more difficult 'to recognize the species. There is great variation 
in the abundance of the stellate hairs. The leaves are sometimes found 
to be almost glabrous, but this is not very commonly the case and usually 
results in a very distinct form.
