■ A small tree, not exceeding 15 ft. (Kurz), growing in mangrove swamps floodecl 

 by the tide. Leaves 3-4 by 1-lf in., attenuate almost to the base so that the petiole 

 is subobsolete. Buds ellipsoid, calyx-tube not in the least angular. Calyx in flower 

 1 in. or more ; style long-exserted sometimes 3 in. Capsule thick-walled, sometimes 

 more than 2 in. broad, concave at the summit.— The Kew specimens are all narrow- 

 leaved, the floweis 6-fid not 7-8-fid ; but the examples are few and it is probable 

 that to the synonyms above cited should be added 6'. Fagatpat, obovata, evenia, Ian-
