16 XLVI, ANACARDUCE^. (J. D. Hooker.) IMangifera. 



<5riflfith remarks, is very near M. sytvatica, and as far as I can see may be a form 

 of that plant, difFering chiefly in the smaller disk and very narrow petals. Griffith 

 describes the calyx and pedicels as pubemlous, but I find no trace of this. The 

 Malay name is ' Boa Pow.' — Griffith,
