This species, as well as NW. purpurascens, seems to be not uncommon 
near Buitenzorg. Blume does not appear to have confused them 
together; his difficulty seems to have been in not knowing what 
Linnzus meant by N. orientalis, and in having never seen a specimen of 
N. purpurea, Roxb. Why Miquel should have confused this species first 
with N. lanceolata and then with N. purpurascens it is difficult to say ; 
unless he was impressed with a belief that the species of Nauclea were 
fewer than they really are. At first sight the leaves of this species re- 
semble those of N. purpurascens, but the petioles are broader, and a little 
practice leaves no difficulty in distinguishing the specimens even in the 
absence of flowers and stipules. 
21. NAUCLEA NICOBARICA, n. sp. 
Typus (Soc. Unitat. Frat.) in Herb. Brit. Mus. 
Ramuli pallidi. Folia 14 em. longa, 8 em. lata, obovato-ellip- 
tica, breviter acuminata, basi asymmetrica, coriacea, glabra, 
nervis 7-8. Petioli 12 mm., complanati.  Stipule 18 mm., 
oblonge. Pedunculi 4 cm., solitarii vel ternati, sub apice brac- 
teati. — Corolle tubus 9 mm., glaber. Anthere apiculate, 
summum tubum leviter excedentes. ^ Calycis loborum partes 
persistentes 1 mm., sublanceolatz, pubescentes.—JN. purpuras- 
cens, var. latifolia, Korth. ex Miq. Ann. Mus. Bot. Lugd.-Bat. 
iv. 182. 
Ins. NICOBAR (Kurz, n. 26140). Sumatra? 
The type specimen in the British Museum is in flower. In the Kew 
Herbarium is a specimen in fruit, which is noticed in Hook. f. Fl. Brit. 
Ind. iii. 24 under Adina Griffithi. There are some specimens in the Leiden 
Herbarium from Sumatra labelled Nauclea purpurascens, var. latifolia, 
Korth. ; they do not belong to N. purpurascens, but probably belong to 
this species,
