4. Calophyllum PKAINrANU^f, King, n. sp. A glabrous ti*ce 40 to 60 

 feet higli ; the youngest branchlets polished, terete, yellowish. Leaves 

 thinly coriaceous, ellij»tic-oblong, shortly sub-abiuptly and obtusely 

 acuminate, narrowed in the lower third to the short petiole ; the nerves 

 rather distinct on both surfaces ; lower surface paler than upper, botli 

 shining; the edge pale yellow, very slightly thickened ; length 25 to 

 4 in., breadth I to J "5 in., petiole 2"5 to 4 in. Racevies solitary, axillary, 

 rarely supra-axillary, about 1'5 in. long, ebi'actente, hix, few-flowered. 

 Flowers '25 in. in diam. ; pedicels slender, '25 in., the upper rather 

 longer. Sepals 4 ; the outer pair orbicular, concave, puberulous exter- 

 nally ; tlie inner pair lai-ger, imbricate, orbicular-oblong, glabrous. 

 Ovary ovoid, stigma very broad. Fruit spherical, '4 in. in diam., 

 crowned by the thin style, pericarp thin. 



Perak ; King's Collector, Nos. 5366 and 7243. 



Very like C. pulcherrimum, but with globular fruit; also like 

 C Teysmannti, but the nervation of the leaves in that species is unusually 

 .oblique for the genus, whereas in this the nerves are almost horizontal. 



5. Calophvlldm floribundum, Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. I, 272. A 

 tree ? much branched and everywhere glabrous; branchlets glaucous, 

 4-angled, as thick as a crow-quill. Leaves coriaceous, elliptic-lanceolate, 

 obtusely acuminate, the edges thickened and pale, the base acuminate, the 

 numerous nerves and midrib most distinct on the under sub-glaucescent 

 surface, upper surface shining ; length 1'24 to 1-5 in., breadth 5 to '6 in., 

 petiole "25 in. Bacemes from most of the leaf-axils erecto-patent, more 

 than half as long as the leaves ; pedicels opposite, spreading, not much 

 longer than the diameter of the flowers. Flowers "25 in. in diam. The 

 outer pair of sepals broadly ovate, sub-acute, the inner broadly obovate, 

 blunt, membranous. Stamens numerous, style not longer than the sepals. 



Malacca; Maingxiy, Nos. 170, 171. 



This is closely allied to C. pulcherrimum, "Wall., but has smaller 

 leaves, the racemes are more numerous and longer in pioportion to the 

 leaves, while the pedicels of individual flowers are much shorter. 



6. Calophyllum spectabile, Willd. A tall tree ; when adult all 

 parts glabrous, the buds and young parts ferruginous-pubescent. Leaves 

 thinly coriaceous, narrowly or broadly oblong, rarely elliptic, sub-acute or 

 obtuse, undulate, the base cuneate ; both surfaces shining, the nerves 

 very numerous, the midrib strong ; length 6 to 12 in., breadth 1-5 to 3 

 m., petiole '.5 to "75 in. Racemes umbellifoim, axillary, solitary, lax, 

 few-flowered, '5 in. in diam. ; pedicels slender, "5 in. Sepals orbicular, 

 glabrous. Ripe fruit spherical, 75 in. in diam. DC. Prod, i, 562 ; Choi.sy 

 Guttif. Iiid. 43, in part; Planch, and Triaiia Mem. Guttif. 238; Wight 

 111. i, 12S ; Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. i, Pt. 2, 510 ; Pierre Fl. Cocb-Chine, t.
