Gardens Bulletin, Gard. BulL S. S., Vol. VIII. Plate XXVIII. Shorea scal>rida Sym. 287 Shorea ochracea has many of the characters typical ofthe section Anthoshorea and I have little hesitation inreferring it to that group. The large leaves, the thickbranchlets, the ferruginous-ochraceous scurfy tomentum,the large, persistent bracts and bracteoles of the inflores-cence, and the rather unusual subauriculate wings on thefruit, make this a very distinct and easily-recognizablespecies.
