Not having succeeded in procuring any fruit, I am unable to give a complete account of this noble tree. The 
plant-collectors inform me that it grows very large on the mountains bordering on the district of Sillet in Bengal, 
and bears a profusion of white or pale pink very sweetly scented blossoms. Even the dried specimens prove that the 
foliage and inflorescence must be very beautiful. "The tree forms a new genus in the family of Guttiferæ, which I 
am proud to dedicate to my highly valued friend Robert Kaye Greville, Esq. LL.D., of Edinburgh, a most distin- 
and acute botanist, who has enriched the science with some of the most beautiful and accurate works it has 
to boast of. As there already exists a Grevillea, called after a different person, I have adopted a method not 
' used heretofore, by designating my plant Aayea. 
The genus belongs to the tribe of Calophyllee, which Professor DeCandolle has established, approaching both in 
habit and generic character to Mammea, Mesua, and Calophyllum, but differing in the valvate calyx, and in the 
structure of the anthers and stigma: from the last-mentioned genus its leaves at once distinguish it. It resembles 
also a Garcinia, Lair wes the pillow’ hbédii Gurine ef tikit denen 
I am indebted to Dr. Greville for the drawing of the plant, and to Professor Lindley for the analysis of the 
flower.
