FLORA VITIENSIS. 11 
lari; stigmate 5-lobo; bacca abortu 2—3-loculari.— C/usia sessilis, Forst. Prodr. n. 391 (non Hook. 
et Arn.) ; Icon. Ined. t. 278.—Viti Levu (Seemann! n. 51). Also gathered in the Tongan Islands 
Capt. Cook's Third Voyage!), Amsterdam Island (Forster !), and New Caledonia (W. Anderson !). 
A. middle-sized tree, with almost membranaceous leaves and small pale-pinkish flowers, of which, 
according to a label attached to a specimen of Cook's third voyage, the Tongan Islanders made necklaces. 
There are from 28-35 veins on each side of the midrib of the larger leaves, fewer in the smaller. My spe- 
cimens agree in every respect with Forster's authentic ones preserved at the British Museum. 
3. G. () pseudoguttifera, (sp. nov.) Seem.; arborea, glabra, succo luteo; foliis oppositis 
petiolatis obovatis obtusis v. acutis integerrimis coriaceis, utrinque densissime crebre et parallele 
venosis, venis (50) simplicibus v. rarius furcatis; floribus fructibusque ignotis.—Kadavu, in moun- 
tainous woods (Seemann! n. 50). 
A tree about 30-40 feet high, from which issues a thick yellow sap when cut. Petioles nearly an inch 
long. Blade of leaf 3-33 inches long, 2-23 inches broad, dark-green above, paler below, with a thick, pro- 
minent midrib, and about 50 veins on each side. Flowers and fruit unknown. At first sight this is 
not unlike G. pedicellata, Seem. (Clusia pedicellata, Forst.),* but the veins of the leaves are fewer in that 
species, and not so close together. ; 
II. Calophyllum, Linn. Gen. n. 658; Benth. et Hook. f. Gen. p. 175. Flores polygami. 
Sepala cum petalis 4-12, 2-3-seriatim imbricata. Stamina oo, libera v. vix basi connata; filamenta 
breviter filiformia; anthere erectz, ovate v. oblong, 2-loculares, longitudinaliter dehiscentes. Ova- 
rium l-loculare; stylus longiusculus, stigmate peltato; ovulum 1, erectum.  Drupa indehiscens, 
putamine crustaceo. Semen erectum, ovoideum v. globosum, testa nunc tenui nunc fungoso-incras- 
sata.—Arbores; foliis coriaceis nitidis creberrime striato-penninerviis; paniculis axillaribus v. ter- 
minalibus, cymoso-trichotomis v. racemiformibus et minus stricte centrifugis. 
The generic Polynesian name for Calophyllum is Tamanu, the Vitian form of which is Damanu, applied 
to two species.

Var. parvifolium, Wight, Illustr. vol. i. p. 129; Icon. t. 107; omni parte minus; foliis 
sepius elliptico-obovatis.—Nomen vernac. Vitiense, * Damanu.”—Forests of Kadavu (Seemann! 
n. 49). 
Though my specimens, being in fruit only, agree well, as far as they go, with the small-leaved variety 
of C. Burmanni, I have some hesitation about the identification, and I should have liked to compare them 
with those of the New Caledonian C. montanum. My Kadavu specimens have opposite leaves, which in size _ 
and shape closely resemble those of Wight’s figure quoted above, and the fruit, am kids on axillary pedun- 
cles, is nearly globose, and as large as a cherry. The tree yields a valuable, closely-grained timber.

* From the materials existing at the British Museum, I am able to determine this species to be a 
genuine Garcinia, viz. G. pedicellata, Seem. Mission to Viti, p. 433 (Clusia pedicellata, Forst. Prodr. 
n. 390; Icon. Ined. t. 277). Glabra; foliis oppositis obovatis obtusis v. acutis in petiolum attenuatis inte-
