276 FOXWORTHY. 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. LUZON, Province of Cagayan, For. Bur. 14709 Darling, For.
