are thicker, smaller, and invariably obovate and refcuse. Tlie flowers 

 are smaller than those of C. Inophylluvi ; the fruit also differs in being' 

 smaller, ovoid and not pulpy. This species also resembles the British 

 Indian C. Wightianum, Wall. The existence of petals is certain, bat the 

 condition of the flowers on the only specimens hitherto collected is such 

 that their number cannot be made out with certainty. 



I4i. Caloi'hylldm Wallichianom, Planch, and Triana Mem. Gutfc. 

 249. A tree ; the branchlets pale yellowish, the youngest 4-angled and, 

 with the buds under surface of young leaves and iufloiescence, minutely 

 ferruginous- tonientose. Leaves thinly coriaceous, narrowly elliptic- 

 oblong, the apex shortly and obtusely acuminate, the base acute ; upper 

 surface shining, the midrib narrow ; lower surface dull, the midrib pro- 

 minent, at first minutely ferruginous-tomentose, when adult glabrous • 

 length 4'5 to 6 in., breadth IS in. ; petiole -75 in., rusty, h'acemes 

 axillaiy and terminal, less than half as long as the leaves, ferruo'in- 

 ous-tomentose, erecto-patent. Flowers "5 in. in diam., pedicels "2 in. 

 Sepals 4, orbicular, ferruginous-tomentose on both surfaces. Petals 4, 

 cuneate-oblong, glabrous internally. Fruit {fideF. B. Ind.) globose, 

 the size of a cherry. Wall. Cat. No. 4843, in part; Hook. fil. Fl, Br. 

 Ind. i, 273.

This species was founded by Planchon and Triana on a specimen 

 mixed with Wall. Cat. No. 4843, (the bulk of which is C spectahile, 

 Willd.) This does not appear to be a common species, and its fruit I 

 have not seen. It may be readily distinguished by its yellow branches, 

 the pale ferruginous, almost cinnamoneous, colour of its leaves when dry, 

 and its darkly rusty racemes. 



15. Calophyllum Griffithii, T. Anders, in Hook. Fl. Br. Ind. i, 

 273. A glabrous tree, the youngest shoots 4-sided, ieaves thinly coria- 

 ceous, oblong or elliptic-oblong, acute or obtuse, the base shortly cuneate, 

 shining on both surfaces, the rather distant nerves equally distinct on 

 both, the midrib more distinct and pale-coloured on the lower; the 

 edges with a pale thickening; length 4 to 6 in., breadth 1-75 to 2 in., 

 petiole '4 to '6 in. Racemes solitary, axillary, from 1"5 to 2'5 in. long, 

 few-flowered. Floivers "35 in. in diam., glabrous; {)edicels unequal, -2 to 

 •5 in. long, slender, each with a small deciduous bract at its base. 

 Sepals 4, outer pair orbicular, inner pair longer but narrower. Petals 4, 

 oblong, obtuse. Fruit (young) ovoid, smooth.

16. Calophyllum MACKOCAiiPUM, Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. I, 273. A 

 glabrous tree ; branchlets polished, sharply 4-angled. Leaves coriaceous, 

 narrowly oblong or elliptic-lanceolate, shortly and obtusely acuminate,
