A small spreading tree; young branches very slender, dirty yellow. Zeaves thinly
coriaceous, ovate or elliptic, the apex produced into a long sub-spatliulate point, the base
cuneate; upper surface shining, the lower dull, pale; nei-ves slender, sub horizontal,
•05 in. apart, invisible on the upper and faint on the lower surface even when dry;
l e n g t h 2 to 2-0 in., of which the apical tail is sometimes as much as -75 in., breadth -8
t o 1-2 in.; petiole -2 in. Mah flowers -25 in. ia diam,, in pedunculate axillary fascicles
of 2 or 3; buds globose, pedicels -15 in.; perianth reflexed; sepals 4, the outer less
t h a n half as large as the inner pair-, all orbicular, sub-coriaceous and concave; pcials 4,
orbicular, blunt, with a tluckened spot near the base, covering the stamens in bud :
stamms numerous, on both surfaces of 4 fleshy processes; anthers sessile, globular-oblong,
t h e connective rather thick, 2-celled, dehiscence vertical; rudy. style cylindric; stigma
sub-lobulate, convex. FmaU flotms axillary, solitaiy, or clustered like the males;
sepals 4, orbicular, thin, concave, about the same size as the petals and neither sepals
nor petals quite covering the stigma in bud: petals 4, orbicular, concave, with a coloured

thickened spot near the base, staminodes none; ovari/ cylindiic; stigma hemispheric,
smooth, entire, enveloping the upper part of the ovary, ultimately becoming discoid
and slightly depressed in the middle. Young fruit cylindric, crowned by the stigma
which has become flattened.

I have not seen ripe fmit QE this, but (judging from the appearance of a young one) it is probably
ovoid, In its Icas'oa, this species ratber resembles G. imrguensk and G. roslrnla.

GARCINIA ANDAMANICA, King in Journ. As. Soc. Bengal, for 1890, pi. 2, p. 170.
A tree from 20 to 40 feet high; young branches 4-angled, pubescent. Leaves
elongate-ovate, often inequilateral, sub-acute; the base broad, rounded or slightly cordate;
both surfaces glabrous, shining; main nerves 14 to 16 pairs, rather prominent; length
8 to 11 in., breadth 4 to 5-5; petiole '5 in., stout. Male flowers about -3 in. in diam.,
in' short dense axillary ascicles from short wart-like branches below the leaves. Sepals
0, sub-coiiaceous, ovate-rotund, imbricate, pubescent externally. Petals 5, larger than
t h e sepals, thin, rotund, clawed, imbricate, puberulous. Slameas indefinite, in 5 thiclc
fleshy bundles; anthers minute, sub-globular, introvse. Disk of 5 broad corrugated glands
much shorter than the bundles of stamens and alternating with them. Pishl 0. Female
flower unknown. Fndt sub-globular or obliquely ovoid, smooth, bright yellow, 1 to I'.^
in. long and -75 to 1*25 in. in diam., shortly apiculate, tapering to the base; the 5-lobed
stigma persisteut for some time. G. dulcis, Kurz (not of Rosb.), For. Flora Burma i, 92;

This specos ^va3 consldorad by Kiuz lo be identical -with Xantlf'clii.mus duki's, Eosb., a native oí
the Muliiccas cnlti>'ated in tliu Butanio Gardeii, Calcutta. It does not, however, agree with specimens
still in oultivatiou there, nor with lloxburgh's dosoription. Pierre (I. c.) expresses his doubt as to tlie
indentity of the Andaman aud Moluooa plauts: but lie adopts Kurz's name for the latter. This apeoies
is closely ollied to G. ViUersiaua, Pierre, a common Cambodian plant. The leaves of tbe latter, as
shown in Pierre's figure (PI. Forest. Coohiu-Ohmo, t. 21) bava, however, more nerves; the flowers have
longer pedicels, aud tho stamiual bimdtes are longer and more slender tban in this speoies; tbe lobes of
the disk are also narrower aud loiigei'.
This is tho Helforiau plant refun'od to under G. XantlmkijmM in Fl. Br, Ind. i, 2G9, as allied
to, but differing' from, that species. Tljere is a variety of this with the leaves shortly ])ubescent beneath.
