558 BURMA, ITS PEOPLE AND PRODUCTIONS. 



Leaves cordate at the narrowed base, the petiole very short and fhick. Anthers 

 yellow. Petals emarginate. The scale double, woolly. Fruit-lobes the size of a pea. 



In this species abnormal leaves are often observed of a .semipinnate and even 

 perfectly pinnate shape. Roxburgh's Seytalia verticiUata is in my opinion a different 

 plant (Kurz). 



S. EUBER, Roxb. E.S. Chittagong. 



S. atfenuatus, Wall. 



Leaves abruptly pinnate, glal.>rous. 



° ° Leaves 2-foUoJate. 



S. MiCKOCAEPus, Kz. Siamesc Province of Kanboree and 



probably Upper Tenasserim. 



Petiole only about 2 lines long. Leaflets oblong, about 2 inches long, sessile. 

 Panicles very slender. Fruit-lobes didymous, lA— 2 lines long. 



Kurz also records from the Nicobars : 



S. MONTANus, Bl. Kamorta and Nankowry. 



Xkeospeeum, Bliime. 



Fruit-hies separated to the base, by pairs or solitary, the pericarp crustaceous, 

 tubereled. Testa fleshy and pilose within, resembling an arillus. 



X. NoEONHiAjJuir, Bl. Tenasserim. 



Mr. Hiern confounds two generically different plants, viz., the true Malayan 

 plant and Sapindus (jlahratus, Wall., from Sylhet and the Khasi hills (Kurz). 



f f Seeds truly arillatc. 

 Nephelium, LinncEUS. 



Fruit-lohes 1-3, separated to the base, the pericarp coriaceous to crustaceous, 

 smooth or tubereled, muricate, and echinate. Seeds enveloped by the arillus. 



* Petals none. Calyx toothed. 

 ° Fruits covered with soft fieshy sulidate or anyular-conieal prickles. 



N. Griffithianum, Kz. Khakyen Hills. 



Kyet-mouk (generic). 



Glabrous. Leaflets glaucous or whitish beneath. Prickles of the fruit fleshy, 

 long, conically angular, truncate, glabrous. 



Hiom identifies the above species with iV. miitahile, BL, a species which is 

 distinguished at once by its irregularly tubereled fruit-lobes (hence Blume formerly 

 confounded it with Euphoria lonjana). His description seems to have been drawn 

 np from .specimens belonging to two or three difi^erent species, but chiefly to iV. 

 chryseum, Bl. (Kurz). 



N. LAPPACECJT, L. Upper Tenasserim. 



Seytalia rampoutan, Eoxb. 



Leaflets more coriaceous, pale-coloured beneath or almost 1 -coloured. Fruits and 

 prickles as in preceding, but C[uite glabrous. 



° ° Fruits tubereled. 

 *X. (Scytalia) LiTcni, Roxb. Chittagong (cultivated). 



Leaflets very coriaceous, small, the net-venation quite obsolete, the nerves thin 

 and faint. Fruit-lobes ellipsoid-oblong, the size of a prune ; tesselate. 



A favourite fruit with Europeans, the fleshy layer enveloping the seeds being very 

 refreshing and juicy. Mason says the tree will not thrive in Burma.
