Doubtful Species 



(31) G. opaca King, I.e. 160. 



Tree 30 to 40 ft. tafl, 4 to 6 in. through. Leaves thin coriaceous, 

 lanceolate rather long cuspidate, base cuneate ; nerves quite invisible, 

 4 in. long, 1-25 in. wide; petioles -25 in. long. Flowers female, 

 solitary terminal. Petals oblong -25 in. long. Pistil cylindric

 rare mangosteen tree. Dense jungle near top of Gunong Malacca,

The flower resembles that of G. anomala Planch, but the foliage is totally- 

 different. King's description of G. opaca appears to belong partly to this 

 plant, but two out of three specimens so labelled by King are G. Hombroniana : 

 Male flowers not known.
