628 POLYANDRIA MONOGYNIA, Garcinia. 
the Botanic garden in Bengal, and others have been reared 
from seed received from the same gentleman ; but both sorts 
soon died. I have therefore much reason to think the Ar- 
bor Zeylanica of Burm. Flor. Zeyl. p. 27, is different, for 
though the fruit of both is small, and contains four seeds, 
yet that of Ceylon has round leaves which is by no means 
the case in our Wynaad tree; and I am further inclined to 
think that this very tree of Burman is now in this garden, 
at least I have several plants of one which was reared 
from seed, sent from Ceylon by General Macdowall, about 
nine years ago, under the Cingalese name Ambul ghoorka, 
they are now beautiful small trees, with polished, thick, 
obtuse, oval leaves; two of them have produced male flow- 
ers abundantly, and from their situation and structure I 
think will be a new species of Xanthochymus. 
Tree tall, say sixty feet high, of a conical. shape, alt 
very full of branches. Bark pretty thick, scabrous and 
ramous on the outside of a dark ferruginous colour, in- 
termixed with many yellow specks, and through its sub- - 
stance, particularly on the inside, considerable masses of 
gamboge are found. Young shoots somewhat angular, 
smooth, polished, ofa deep green. Leaves opposite, short- 
petioled, oblong-ventricose, rather acute, entire, smooth 
on both sides, and of a firm texture, from three to four 
inches long by one and a half or two broad. | Hermaphro- 
dite flowers, axillary, over the axills of the former yeat, 
solitary,, sessile, of a middling size, and yellow colour. 
Bractes some very short, obscure scales, round the inser- 
tion of the flowers. Calyx of two unequal pairs of com 
cave, obtuse leaflets, permanent. Petals four. oval, longet 
than the calyx. Filaments united into four bodies, which 
are again united at the base into a narrow rivg, round 
the bottom of the young germ, above each body is divided 
into from: two to six single unequal, short filaments. 
Anthers from ten to fifteen, oblong, two-lobed, and seem-— 
ingly fertile. Germ superior, round, four-celled, with one
