? i follow Miers in retaining this as a distinct species, the limited material at my 
disposal being insufficient for arriving at a definite conclusion, Seemann (FI. Vit. 
83) assigns Banks's imperfect specimen doubtfully to Z. (Barringtonia) edulis; Bentham 
(Fl. Austral, 20) refers to it as intermediate between Z. (B.) speciosa and H. (B.) 
acutangula ; Mueller (Fragm. ix. 118) places it under Z, (B.) racemosa, to which it is 
certainly more nearly allied than to either of the other species. None of these authors. 
however, consulted the plate here reproduced. i :
