Pekan. А single specimen obtained. 
Small tree, with leaves nearly a foot in length and four inches across; edges faintly 
denticulate, oblong acuminate, base cuneate ; petiole thick, nearly an inch long. Leaves 
dry dark brown. Peduncle terminal, fairly slender, 14 inch long. Sepals oval, blunt, 
glabrous, fleshy ; margins scarious, minutely denticulate. Style long and slender. 
Т cannot match this with any of the glabrous-flowered species; the leaves are 
remarkably large. There was but one flower on the only tree I ever saw. It is, 
perhaps, a variety of the preceding species.

GARCINIA HOMBRONIANA, Pierre. 
This is a tree resembling іп appearance the Common Mangosteen, ©. Mangostana, 
and the flowers are dark red. Тһе fruit is of the shape of a Maugosteen, but smaller, 
with a thinner rind of a bright red colour. The pulp, though rather acid, has a far finer 
flavour than that of the best Mangosteen, somewhat peach-like, and the scent of a ripe 
apple. It is, however, scantier than that of the cultivated species. 
It grows in sandy spots at Kwala Pahang and Rumpin River, and I have also met 
with it at Blakang Mati Island, off Singapore, and in two places in Malacca, one of 
which was Jasin in the interior. In all the other spots it grows near the sea.
