Very similar to D. cuneata, and perhaps a variety of that plant with longer more 
elliptic and acuminate leaves, which in Helfer's specimens are 3-6 in. long, but in the 
Andaman ones 6-10 in. The fruit of the Andaman plant is 2 in. long, with a stout 
fleshy warted pedicel 1.in. long. 
3. D. elongata, Blume in Nees Syst. Laur. 377, and in Rumphial, 
163, t. 47; characters of D. cuneata, but fruit globose on a very short pedicel.

Dr. King suspects this to be a form of D. cuneata, and I think he is right; the 
leaves are 8-11 in. long, the flowers larger than in D. cuneata, the fruit 1-14 in. 
diam. with a very fleshy sarcocarp and quite globose. 
4. D. microcarpa, Blume in Nees Syst. Laurin. 373, and Rumph. 1 
162, t. 44; glabrous, leaves shortly petioled elliptic-oblong acuminate not 
glaucous beneath, panicles shortly peduncled, outer perianth-lobes $ smaller 
than the inner, fruit cylindric-globose. JMeissn. in DC. Prodr. xv. 1. 60;

„Branches woody, white, Leaves not so fascicled towards the ends of the branches 
as in the preceding species, 9-14 by 34-54 in., coriaceous, base acute, smooth, greenish 
or pale greenish brown on both surfaces when dry; nerves about 12 pair, very pro- 
minent beneath; petiole stout, 3-1 in. Panicles 2-6 in., black when dry, branches 
stout, spreading; pedicels obconic in flower, 3-4 in. Perianth 3 in. diam., nearly 
glabrous ; lobes broad, outer obtuse, inner subacute. Stamens longer and less villous 
than in the preceding species. Fruit « baccate, 1 in. long, blue-black, shining, sub- 
tended by the enlarged slightly thickened perianth, pedicel enlarged fleshy trigonous 
bright scarlet warted,” Maingay.—Though the fruit is large, I refer this to Blume’s 
D. microcarpa, of which that author describes and figures apparently young fruit 
only; for after a most careful analysis I can find no difference between authentic 
specimens of Blume’s plant and this; furthermore Blume states that both his figure 
and description of the fruit are taken from another source. D. squarrosa, Zoll., 
seems identical. Jack quotes Rumph. Amb. i. 162, t. 44, for his L. incrassata, but 
the plate is not characteristic, if taken for this plant. Í
