Coddam-Pulli. Rlieed. MaL 1. t. 24. is no doubt this 

 very tree, for Van Rheed says the fruit is on a peduncle an 

 inch lonu, yet his figure places the leaves close to the 

 (terminal) fruit ; so that it is evident the extremity of the 

 branchlet must have been considered the peduncle. In 

 my G. Zeylanka the flowers are axillary. 



This grows to be a tree of considerable size in the for- 

 ests of Travancore, where it is known to the natives by 

 the name Ghorka Pulli, consequently we may conclude 

 it to be Carca-puUi of Bauhin, Acosta, &c. It flowers in 

 February and March, and its fruit ripens in June and 

 July.

Ghorka or korka of the Cingalese, which is rather an 

 indefinite name, as with the help of an adjective it would 

 apply to various trees and their fruits. 



This species is a native of Ceylon, and from thence was 

 introduced into the Missionaries garden at Tranquebar, 

 where the trees grow freely and acquire a middling size, 

 and like most of the other individuals of this whole natu- 

 ral order, yield an inferior sort of Gamboge. Leaves 

 opposite, short-petioled, from broad-lanceolar to oblong 

 ventricose, smooth, of a deep lucid green on both sides 

 from four to six inches long, and about two broad. Pe- 

 tioles about half an inch long, channelled, smooth. 



Male. Peduncles axillary and terminal, several toge- 

 ther, one-flowered, smooth, from half an inch to an inch
