106 MR. J. MIERS ON THE BARRINGTONIACE./E. 
This plant agrees in its general characters with the preceding species, and differs from 
Jack's plant in its more lanceolate and very pallid leaves, on almost obsolete flat 
petioles, and its spicated raceme, which is not massive, and its ovary with crenulately 
undulated wings. Тһе leaves are 9-17 in. long, 8-42 in. broad, on petioles 2 lines long, 
2 lines broad; the portion of the raceme in the specimen is 6 in. long, 2% lines thick, 
closely beset with the rather small cicatrices of the fallen flowers: the calyx is 3 lines 
long; the ovary of the same length, with broad crenulated wiuged angles; the petals are 
6 lines long, 3 lines broad.

This is said to be a handsome tree, not very high, with wide-spreading branches, grow- 
ing in moist places: its leaves are 4—55 in. long, 14-2 in. broad, with liver-coloured 
petioles : the raceme is erect, 4—7 in. long, with numerous very handsome approximated 
flowers, having whitish-green petals, which, with the stamens, fall off in great numbers, 
and appear like a party-coloured carpet beneath the tree. Miquel, in his diagnosis, 
which is an exact copy of that of the Dutch authors, by mistake, says “ bace:e verru- 
созге,” not observing the typical error in the original, * drupis verrucibus " for ** drupis 
viridibus," the latter being so described in their annotation. Miquel admits that he 
never saw the plant, not even a dried specimen of it, nor its fruit. He adds that the 
genus to which it belongs is doubtful, because of its bibracteolated flowers, and suggests, 
without any reason, that it may һе the Planchonia Timoriensis, Bl. But subsequently 
he again falls into error, stating positively that it is identical with the Barringtonia 
excelsa, Bl.; but this cannot be admitted, because the latter is a very lofty tree, with а 
remarkable and different inflorescence; and, notwithstanding this, he again suggests 
that it may be the type of a new genus. І have no doubt that it belongs to Doromma, 
of which it presents all the characters, especially in its stout erect rachis densely covered 
with numerous handsome bracteolated flowers. Teijmann and Bennindijn describe the 
fruit as a little longer than a goose’s egg, pointed at both extremities, and liver-coloured.
