spherical, of a deep purple throughout, with as far as eight 
seeds, Of this evidently very distinct species I have only 
specimens with leaves and the ripe fruit sent by Dr. Berry, 
under the name Mate mangostan, which is found in gar- 
dens only, and supposed to have been originally brought 
from the Eastern Archipelago. It differs from every other 
species in the whole fruit, which is about the size of a 
“small orange, being throughout of a deep purple colour,

of the male panicles, and also at the base at the long 
proper peduncles of both male and female flowers. The 
male flowers so far as I can see are always on a separate
