Seeds blue.—I do not know what authority Mueller has for implying that 
Wallich’s specimens are from Madagascar ; his No. 7876 is introduced into the Calcutta 
rden from Courtallam by Dr. Berry, and his No. 7960 is simply marked as from the 
aleutta Garden. The plant no doubt extends from Canara to Ceylon. Mueller cites 
allich’s Bridelia Berryana under both P.anomalus and cyanospermus. Possibly 
* discoideus of Tropical Africa is a form with smaller fruit.
