COLLECTED IN HONG-KONG. 309 
Arbuscula ramosa, glaberrima. Rami subflexuosi, teretes, striati, al- 
bidi. Folia alterna, petiolata, pennivenia, 23—3-poll. longa, 10-15 lin 
lata: petiolus marginatus, 2—3 lin. longus. Racemi 6-9 lin. longi. 
Corolla lutea, 5 lin. longa. Drupa oblonga, utrinque obtusissima, 5-7 
lin. longa. 
This species agrees in many respects with Wallich's S. fragrans ; but 
on comparing it with his detailed description in his edition of Rox- 
burgh's ** Flora Indica," I find it to differ in having few, not many, 
flowered racemes, and sessile, not pedicellate, flowers. The pedicels in 
his plant are described as being six lines long. 
CLUSIACE. 
Calophyllum membranaceum, Gardn. et Champ.; ramulis junioribus 
4-angularibus glabris, foliis pe i obtusis vel obtuse 
acuminatis basi acutis membranaceis, racemis axillaribus paucifloris 
petiolo paulo longioribus, pedicellis pedunculo plerumque longioribus 
puberulis basi bracteatis, bracteis linearibus membranaceis pedicello 
eequantibus, sepalis 4, petalis 8, drupa ovoidea. 
Has. Mount Victoria, Hong-Kong. 
Arbuscula ramosa. Folia 3-34 poll. longa, 10-14 lin. lata: petiolus 
subtus convexus, supra canaliculatus, 3—4 lin. longus. „Pedunculi 1-3- 
flori. Sepala et petala obtusa, 3 lin. circiter longa. Drupa 8 lin. longa. 
The four sepals and eight petals refer this species to Wight's first 
section of the genus; but it is very distinct from the only two species 
which it contains. Possibly it may prove either C.? lanceolarum 
of Roxburgh, or the C. lanceolatum of Blume, which he considers 
to be the same as Roxburgh’s plant, but, like Roxburgh, had only 
met with it in a flowerless state. Till something more is known of 
them I prefer considering this a distinct species.
