APOSTASIACEH OF THE MALAY PENINSULA. 221 
found at Rangoon by Mr. Scott. Later a plant obtained froma 
native dealer by the Singapore Gardens was sent to Kew; where 
it flowered, and was figured in the ‘ Bot. Mag.’ In 1893, a number 
of plants were brought down from the Tonka district (in Siam) 
to the Penang Gardens. Reichenbach’s M. calophylla was 
described without locality. I received some years ago a speci- 
men from Mr. Moore, of Glasnevin Gardens, which he informed 
me was from the plant sent to Reichenbach; and I have seen 
specimens of this plant collected in Borneo by Dr. Haviland. 
M. calophylla, Reichb. f., and M. Scotti’, Hook. f., are I think 
identical.
