wavy on the margin; the pericarp is fibrous, 1 line thick, and contains a single sus- 
pended всей, which fills the cell, and which has been fully described in the generic 
diagnosis (ante p. 99). А drawing of the icaf and of the carpical structure of this species 
is shown in Tab. XVI.

Wallich’s specimen from the province of Martaban agrees with Blume's diagnosis of а 
plant first mentioned, by name only, by Korthals, and to which he assigned the locality of 
Borneo. Wallich at first gave it the name of Barringtonia ( Careya) rosea, but afterwards 
changed it to Barringtonia acuminata, considering it to be the same as Korthals's, perhaps ; 
and if so, its range must be considerable. In Wallich's specimens the leaves are 51-8 in. 
long, 15-23 in. broad, on petioles 1-2 in. long; Blume gives the dimensions as 84-H 
in. long, 195-35 in. broad, on petioles 2-23 in. long, from a plant collected by Korthals in 
the woods of Pamattan, in Borneo. Тһе raceme in Wallich's specimen is above 9 in. 
long, 3 lines thick, straight; the sepals are 2 lines long, 3 lines broad ; the 4 angles of 
the ovary are winged and undulately crenated; the inner margin of the disk is acute and 
elevated, within whieh the vertex is deeply concave.
