1. F, Inslgnls, Hook. f. in Tram. Linn. Sac. xxiii. 170, t. 26 ; leaflets 

 C-8 pairs, thinly coriaceous, ovate-cordate or -oblong oblique glabrous beneath, 

 fruiting sepals 3-3^ in. Astronium insigne, Marchand Rev. Anacard. 177. 



Tenasskrim. at Mergui, Griffith ; Andaman Islds., Parish, Kurz. 

 . Leaves 1-2 ft, petiole cylindric, glabroxis; leaflets petiolulate, 6-8 in., variable in 

 inpc, often gradually narrowed to the tip from just above the base, shining above, 

 reticulated beneiith; midrib quite exccntric; nerves 12-20 pairs, slender, arched. 

 Panicles as long fts the leaves, villous -with spreading hairs. Flowers \ in. diam., 

 broadly campanulate. Sepals pubescent. Bisk tomentose. Drupe the size of a large 

 pea, globose, pointed, tomentose ; enlarged sepals puberulous, acute or rounded at the 

 tip.

2. P. nSaingayi, Hook. f. ; leaflets 10-12 pairs, thickly coriaceoxis j 

 oblong or linear-oblong obtuse pulierulous beneath, fruiting sepals 0-7 in. 



Maiacca, Maingay, 



A tree abounding in a resinous slightly viscid secretion {Maingay), ' Leaves 

 crowded at the ends of the branches; petiole 12-18 in., pubescent woody terete ; 

 leaflets 3-5 in., shortly petiolulate, base rounded, hard, shining above, with 

 obscure nerves; beneath minutely puberulous, and minutely reticulated; nerves 

 15-30 pair, slender, spreading, nearly straight. Panicles apparently shorter than 

 the leaves, pubescent. Petals linear-oblong. Disk pilose. Young fruit densely 

 tilothed with hispid ferruginous bristles; fruiting sepals puberulous, nearly 1 in, 

 broad, tip rounded. — I have assumed that the fruits belong to the leaves of the plant 

 •with which Maingay has placed them ; but in one of his Herbarium specimens, the 

 loaves of P. Maingayi are fastened down with the fruit of a species with pubescent 

 ■perfcarp and acute fruiting sepals 4| by 1^ in.
