2-seeded. Seeds sub-globose small. About 65 species, mostly 

 Australian.

 Burmanniana DC. Prodr. i. 616. 



A glabrous bush 4 to 6 ft. tall or less. Leaves oblanceolate 

 acute or blunt, base much narrowed shining, thinly coriaceous, 

 many-nerved, viscid, 175 to 4 in. long, -5 to 1-5 in. wide; petioles 

 •I in. long. Cymes i in. long spreading axillary. Flowers '2$ in. 

 wide. Sepals oblong. Capsule 75 in. long and little broader. 

 Hah. Sand-hills on the seashore. Johor, Pulau Tinggi (Fielding). 

 Pahang, Kwala Pahang; Rumpin River (Evans). Malacca 

 (Griffith, Maingay). Bindings, Pangkor near the old Dutch Fort 

 (Curtis). Penang, Telok Bahang (Curtis). Lankawi, Burau Bay. 

 Kelantan, Kwala Kelantan. Distrib. Tropics generally. It is 

 never cultivated in the Malay Peninsula, as King suggests. The 

 species is very variable in many parts of the world, if the plant 

 usually so named is not a mixture of several species. There is 

 only one form in the Malay Peninsula, the sand-hill bush. In 

 Java this species forms a tree 60 ft. tall, grown as a woodland tree. 

 Native names : Kayu Bertih ; Seringan Laut.

 Sembilan, Tampin. Distrib. Java. Native name : Kesema. 



I think the Perak specimens mentioned by King, are this and not 

 H. cupanioides, but his description, I.e. 451, is that of the Indian 

 cupanioides.
