This is the plant referred to in Hooker's Fl. B. Ind. i. 197 as "too 

 immature for description." Since' that remark was written, better 

 material has been got from Burmah, on wiiich Kurz described the species 

 in his Forest Flora as Hydnocarpus heteroj^hylla, Bl., with Blame's descrip- 

 tion of which it, however, manifestly disagrees. Kuiz had modified the 

 description of the genus Hydnocarpus to admit this plant. Female 

 flowers of it I have never seen ; but the males agree with those of 

 Taraktogenos.
