24 MR. G. D. HAVILAND: REVISION OF THE NAUCLEES. 
nigris instructi. Ovarium biloculare; placentx lineares, non 
bifidæ.—Nauclea macrophylla, Roxb. Fl. Ind. i. 511, et ed. Carey 
& Wall. 1. 120. 
Mavasra.—Amboina (herbb. Blume, Calcutta). 
This plant was introduced into the Calcutta Gardens in 1797. The 
trees began to blossom in 1810; they were described in Roxburgh’s 
‘Flora Indica.’ Dr. King informs me that one tree is still alive, but is 
now a ruin ; its great stem is hollow and is the home of a colony of big 
bees, who resent anybody going up to collect specimens.
