Isonandra. | LXXXIX. SAPOTACES. (C. B. Clarke.) 539 
Inflorescence in sessile clusters at the summits of thickly scarred naked spurs 0-1 in. 
long. Calyx-lobes 3, in., ovate, rounded, minutely sparsely silky or glabrescent 
upwards. Berry } by } in.—The most glabrous species of the genus. In Wight’s 
specimen (figured in Ie. t. 360) the young leaves and shoots are as described above, 
and no part of the plant is villous. The species seems well distinet by the short 
petiole, the very rounded leaf-base, the very fine reticulation of the secondary 
nervation., 
2. I. Candolliana, Wight Ic. t. 1220; leaves elliptic obtuse or scarcely 
acute, secondary nerves distinct of close subparallel lines, flowers subsessile in 
the axils of leaves, anther-tips villous. Dalz. $ Gibs. Bomb. Fl. 159. I. Perot- 
tetiana, A. DC. Prodr. viii. 188, partly. 
NirauegRy Mrs.; Wight, Gardner. 
Shoots minutely rusty-silky. Leaves 34 by 1} in., not acuminate, base cuneate, 
margins little recurved when dry, primary nerves j-3 in. apart; petiole lin. Flowers 
nearly as in Z. villosa. Berry $ by } in.— Only distinguishable from the next by the 
hairy anther-tips and more membranous leaves. A. DC. says his Z. Perottetiana had 
the anthers pilose at the tips, but Wight split this species into two, whereof his 
I. Candolliana has the anther-tips pilose, his Z. Perottetiana has them glabrous. 
3. I. Perottetiana, Wight Ic. t. 1219; leaves elliptic obtuse or sub- 
acute, secondary nerves obscure of close subparallel lines, flowers subsessile 
axillary, anther-tips glabrous. A. DC. Prodr. viii, 188, partly. 
Nircuerry Mrs. ; Wight, Gardner, Sir F. Adam. 
4, I. Stocksii, Clarke ; leaves elliptic-obovate obtuse, secondary nerves 
somewhat laxly reticulated, flowers sessile on very short thick lateral spurs. 
Concan; Stocks. 
Branchlets thick. Leaves 41 by 2} in., base cuneate, primary nerves 1-1 in. apart; 
petiole 4 in. Flowers as in J. villosa, —This, by the leaves clustered at the summits 
of the branches, and by the inflorescence, approaches Z. villosa, but the primary and 
secondary nervation of the leaves is different. 
5. I. lanceolata, Wight Ic. t. 350, not of Thwaites; leaves lanceolate 
obtusely acuminate, secondary nerves distinct subparallel, flowers nearly sessile 
in the axils of persistent leaves. A. DC. Prodr. vii. 187.  Sideroxylon 
Wightianum, Wall. Cat. 4154.

Branches not thick. ` Shoots minutely rusty-silky, Leaves 5 by 1} in. (in Wight's 
type specimen), usually smaller, base cuneate, primary nerves 1—j in. apart, secondary 
prominent, slightly waved; petiole 4 in. Calya-lobes d in., ovate, obtuse. Berry 
$ by $ in. 
Van. anfractuosa ` leaves obovate-elliptie abruptly shortly acuminate, secondary 
nerves conspicuous strongly curved so as to cross each primary at right angles, calyx- 
segments lanceolate subobtuse.—Cochin ; Valla Candoo, Wight.—Buds longer than in 
I. lanceolata, of which this appenrs a fine variety. 
6. I. Wightiana, 4. DC. Prodr. viii. 187 ; leaves elliptic sub-obtuse, 
primary nerves distant secondary laxly reticulated obscurely subparallel, 
flowers nearly sessile in the axils of persistent leaves. Thwaites Enum. Pl.

Perhaps not separable from J. lanceolata. Leaves commonly 33 by 1j in., but 
very variable. The following varieties have been noticed :— 
Var. major; leaves 9 by 13 in., acuminate, green, primary nerves 1-1} in. apart,
