12. ManCxIFERA oracilipes, Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. II, 16. A large 

 perfectly glabrous tree, young branches slender. Leaves sub-coi-iaceous, 

 small, elliptic-lanceolate, acuminate, shining, the edges undulate, the 

 base narrowly cuneate ; main nerves 10 or 12 pairs^ slightly prominent, 

 the veins and reticulations obscure ; length 3 or 4 in., breadth 1 to I'S 

 in. ; petiole '75 to 1 in., very slender. Panicles quite glabrous, slender, 

 longer than the leaves, terminal, with numerous long very slender 

 raceme-like branches bearing numerous short lateral branchlets. 

 Flowers about '2 in. in diani., their pedicels slender and about as long 

 as themselves. Sepals 5, ovate, sub-acute, puberulous. Petals 5, lanceo- 

 late, much longer than the sepals, with 3 to 5 prominent vertical ridges. 

 Stamen 1, shorter than the petals ; rudimentary stamens 4, subulate. 

 Ovary sub-globose : style long, lateral. Engler in DC. Mon. Phan. IV, 

 203. 



Malacca : Maingay, No. 475. 



As yet this is known only by Maingay's specimens, not one of which 

 bears fruit. 



13. Mangifeba odorata. Griff. Notul. IV, 417. A tree, all parts 

 glabrous. Leaves coriaceous, oblong or elliptic-lanceolate, acute or 

 acuminate, both surfaces reticulate but especiallj the lower; main 

 nerves about 20 pairs, spreading, very prominent beneath : length 6 to 

 12 in., breadth 2 to 4 in. ; petiole 125 to 1"75 in., much tldckened in 

 the lower half. Panicle longer than the leaves, stout, glabrous. 

 Floivers about '25 in. in diam., flesh-coloured. Sepals 5, ovate-oblong. 

 Petals 5, three times as long as the sepals, oblong, greenish suffused 

 with red, with 3 confluent ridges, the apices reflexed. Perfect stamens 

 sometimes 2, nearly as long as the petals ; the imperfect ones shorter, 

 subulate and capitate. Ovary ovoid, glabrous, tapering into the long 

 filiform sub-lateral style. Brxipe oblong. 



Malacca : Griffith, No. 1098.— Distrib. Java ; Zollinger, No. 430. 



The few specimens of this that I have seen are very poor. Griffith 

 (quoted by Sir J. D. Hooker in F. B. Ind. I. c.) gives the following 

 account of the fruit. " Drupe oblong, stinking, yellow-green, with 

 yellow spots, filled with a sticky gum ; flesh yellow, fibrous, sweet, not 

 turpentiny ; stone compressed, fibrous ; cotyledons rugose, equal at the 

 base, one overlapping at the top." Sir Joseph adds the following jiote. 

 " Malay name " Koeene" or " Kohini," according to Griffith, which is 

 the name Maingay gives to M. ohlongifulia (a totally different plant). 

 This much resembles M. Parih, Miq., of Java, which has a more effuse 

 panicle with long tertiary branchlets and very long pedicels." 



14. Mangifera foetida, Lour. Fl. Cochiuch., 160, A tree 60 to 80 

 feet high ; young branches stout, the bai'k pale when dry. Leaves very
