out ; lobes 6, oblong-linear, recurved in flower, hairy within at the 
base, -15 in. long, imbricate. Stamens 12 ; filaments long, exsert ; anthers 
ovate, mucronate, extrorse, as long as filaments, hirsute. Ovary sub-

Wray says the gutta is sticky and worthless. 
12. Palaquium stellatum, King & Gamble. A large tree, stems 
reaching over 100 feet in height ; branehlets rather thick, dark brown, 
rough with the sears of fallen leaves ; innovations ferruginous-pubescent. 
Leaves membrano-chartaceous, clustered at the ends of the branehlets ; 
oblong-lanceolate, shortly acuminate at apex, cuneate at base ; nearly 
glabrous above, pale and when young tomentose beneath, rusty- 
stellate-tomentose (Scortechini) on the nerves on both sides ; 3 to 6 in. 
long, 1 to 1-5 in. broad ; midrib prominent ; main-nerves 10 pairs, 
starting at about 60° with the midrib and at once curving upwards ; 
reticulations prominent on both sides in an elegant network ; petiole 
•75 to 1 in. long, slender, densely rusty-pubescent. Floivers fasciculate, 
3 to 5 together in the axils of the upper leaves, forming almost a 
terminal leafy corymb of about 20 to 25 flowers ; pedicels slender, 
about 1 in. long, densely rusty-pubescent. Calyx-lobes 6, densely 
rusty-pubescent, in 2 series ; the outer of 3 valvate, ovate, rounded 
lobes, the inner of 3 ovate ciliate lobes with scarious margins ; both -25 
to - 3 in. long. Corolla campanulate, - 3 to - 4 in. long, the tube a little 
shorter than the lobes ; the lobes imbricate, twisted in bud, rounded at 
top, glabrous. Stamens 12 in one series ; filaments on the base of the 
tube and attached to it, free above, -2 in. long, thickened below, slender 
above ; anthers oblong-lanceolate, apiculate, extrorse, -1 in. long, gla- 
brous. Ovary rusty-pubescent, sub-globose ; style slender, -35 in. long ; 
cells 6 (?). Fruit not seen. Dicliopsis stellata, Scortechini MS. in

Perak : Scortechini, 1855. 
A very distinct species, looking very like a Bassia. Scortechini says it yields good 
gutta, but in small quantities.
