GARCINIA. - : GUTTIFERE. 101 
iia have not seen this species : our character is principally from Roxburgh’s 
works. 
* 350. (2) G. Zeylanica (Roxb. :) leaves lanceolate : flowers axillary and ter- 
minal; males about 3-together, on longish pedicels; females solitary, nearly 
sessile : filaments in. the fem. distinct, as many as the cells of the ovary: ovary 
6-8-suleated : stigma 6-8-lobed, papillose with glands: fruit 6-8-sulcated.— 
Roxb. fl. Ind. 2. p. 621; Wall. L. n. 4867. Introduced from Ceylon to 
the Missionaries Garden at Tranquebar ; Roxburgh. p 
351. (3) G. affinis (W. & A.:) leaves lanceolate : flowers axillary and ter- 
minal; 1-3 together; male on longish, female on shortish peduncles: fila- 
ments in the fem. distinct, as many as the cells of the ovary: ovary deeply 
suleated : stigma about 8-lobed, papillose with numerous glands.— Wight ! 
cat. n. 341.—G. Gutta, Wall.? L. n. 4866. 
Closely allied to G. Zeylanica, Roxb., but the female flowers are neither 
subsessile nor constantly solitary. 
352. (4) G. Cowa (Roxb.:) leaves lanceolate: flowers terminal; male 
somewhat umbelled, on longish peduncles ; female solitary, shortly pedun- 
cled: filaments of the fem. 4-adelphous, bundles 5-10-cleft : ovary globose : 
stigma 4-8-lobed, papillose with glands: fruit 4-8-sulcated, 4-8-seeded, 
globular-ovate.— Roxb. /. fl. Ind. 2. p. 622 ; DC. prod. 1. p. 561; Spr. syst. 2. 
p. 448 ; Wall. ! L. n. 4863. a, c, d.—Stalagmitis Cowa, G. Don in Mill. diet. 1. 
P. 621.—Oxycarpus Gangetica, Ham. ! in Wern. Soc. Trans. 5. p. 344. : 
We have not seen Wall. L. n. 4863. b., and so feel uncertain whether this 
really a native of the Peninsula. Roxburgh describes G. Cowa with the 
female-flowers in umbels of 1, 3, or 5 flowers ; but a specimen in Mr Arnott's 
herbarium, named by Roxburgh himself, has them solitary and nearly sessile, 
as described in De Candolle’s prodromus. Perhaps Oxycarpus Indica, Pet. Th. 
(Garcinia Indica, DC.) is the same with this species, but the fruit is not de- 
scribed as furrowed. We do not place dependence on the colour of the 
Juice that is procured by tapping the tree, as there is reason to suspect that 
this alters according to the season, or the age of the part that is pierced. 
353. (5) G. Kydia (Roxb. :) leaves lanceolate : flowers terminal at the ends 
9f the branches or of short axillary branches, or axillary ; male about 3 toge- 
ther, on longish peduncles ; female solitary, sessile: filaments of the fem. 
4-adelphous, two opposite bundles 3-7-cleft, the other two bifid: ovary glo- 
* stigma 4-8-lobed, papillose with glands: fruit 6-8-furrowed, 6-8- 
Seeded, globose, the apex depressed with a knob in the centre.—Rowb. fi. 
Ind. 2. p. 623 ; Wight ! cat. n. 339 (male), 340 (fem.).—G. lancesfolia, 
Wall.! L. n. 4861 c. (not Rosb.) ^ - : i 
The character from the fruit is taken from Roxburgh, who had his speci- 
mens from the Andaman islands; but the rest of our description agrees with - 
is. It may, however, prove to be only a variety of G. Cowa, from which | 
Roxburgh Says it is “ not to be distinguished except by the female inflores- 
ence and shape of the fruit.” i 
IL XANTHOCHYMUS. Roxb. 
Flowers polygamous or bisexual. Sepals 4-5, persistent, without brac- 
teoles. Petals 5, alternate with the sepals. Stamens (in both male and 
female flowers) 4-5-adelphous ; bundles flat, elongated and divided at the 
apex into several short antheriferous portions, opposite to the petals, alter- 
nating with 5 large truncated glands: anthers 2-celled, bursting longitu- 
dinally. Ovarium (only in the bisexual flowers) 3-5-celled, with 1 ovule 
In each cell, Style scarcely any. Stigma 3-5-lobed. Fruit baccate, 3-5- 
| ‚celled. Seeds 1 in each cell, or fewer by abortion —Trees.
