1. Mangifeka Grifpithii, Hook. fil. in Trans. Linn. Soc. XXII, 

 168. A tree with stout glabrous branches. Leaves thinly coriaceous, 

 narrowly elliptic or elliptic-oblong, tapering from about the middle to 

 each end, the apex sub-acute or very shortly and bluntly acuminate, 

 the base cuneate, both surfaces glabrous and reticulate; main nerves 

 about 14 to 16 pairs, spreading, slightly raised on both surfaces ; 

 length 5 to 7 in., breadth 2 to 2"5 in. ; petiole 1 to 25 in. Panicles 

 coarsely puberulous, axillary, slightly longer than the leaves, raceme- 

 like, with very short few-flowered branches. Flotoers less than '1 in, 

 long, on short pubescent pedicels. Sepals 4, broadly ovate, obtuse, 

 concave, unequal, pubescent outside. Petals 4, a little longer than the 

 sepals, broadly obovate, with 1 or 2 shoi't thickened ridges near the 

 base, glabi'ous. Stamen 1, inserted on the 4-lobed glabrous disc. 

 Ovary unknown. Fruit oblong, slightly obovoid, obtuse, glabrous, 

 about 1'5 in. long and greenish yellow when ripe, the pulp firm : stone 

 less than 1 in. long. Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. II, 14; Engler in DC. Mon. 

 Phan. IV, 203. 



Malacca : Griffith, No. 1100/1. Perak : King's Collector, No. 7539. 



This species is imperfectly known as yet. The material which I 

 have used in describing it consists of Griffith's specimens on which the 

 species was founded, and they have only male flowers ; and of some 

 sent from Perak by the Calcutta Collector which are in fruit and have 

 no flowers. In leaves these two sets agree absolutely, and I have no 

 hesitation in bringing them together as belonging to the same species. 



2. Makgifera microphylla, Griff. MSS. ex Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. 

 II, 17. A small tree. Leaves sub-coriaceous, elliptic, shortly acumi- 

 nate, the base narrowed but rounded, both surfaces shining and faintly 

 reticulate ; main nerves 10 to 12 pairs, spreading but curving upwards,
