in flower more or less unequal, two larger, on both sides with gray-stellate 
pubescence. Petals linear-oblong, obtuse, hairy outside. The five interior 
stamens on filaments longer than anthers, the ten outer on very short 
filaments; prolongation of connective short, conical. Ovary more or 
less immersed in the receptacle, tomentose with stellate hairs; style 
glabrous, 5-ribbed; stigma of five conical lobes, the two larger segments 
of fruiting-calyx 5 cm long, linear-oblong, narrowed at both ends, with 
five longitudinal nerves joined hy oblique veins. Fruit (not ripe) globose, 
tomentose, 4 mm in diameter, the three cells still visible, one ovule more 
developed than the others. 
Blanco describes this species as having three seeds in the ripe fruit. 
This is incorrect. He must have been examining the unripe fruit and 
looking at the ovules, only one of which develops into a mature seed. 
Fruiting calyx with 2 long wings, 3.5 to 4 cm long, 12 to 18 mm wide, 
with about 5 principal longitudinal nerves ; the three shorter wings of- the 
fruiting-calyx 10 to 18 mm long, 3 to 4 mm wide, with 3 or 4 principal 
longitudinal veins. Wings membranous or chartaceous. This species 
contains very little resin. The bark is thin and dry and presents a rather 
mottled appearance. 
Closely resembling Vatica astrotricha of Cochin-China.
