100 GUTTIFERJE. GARCINIA. 
toothed, fringed with bristles tipped with glands ; pellucid dots linear below, 
roundish towards the point: petals twice as long as the calyx, with a few 
black dots along the margin : styles 3, distinct, somewhat clavate: capsule 
3-celled.—Wall.! L. n. 4818; Wight! cat. n. 336. Neelgherries. 
A small species not unlike H. Japonicum. We should have considered it 
without hesitation as a state of H. Nepalense, Chois. in DC. prod. 1. p. 552 
(H. pallens of Don), but Dr Wallich, who collected that plant in Nepal, and 
in whose List it seems to be named H. setosum, does not propose to unite 
them : we have not seen the Nepal plant.
