This species and its variety malayana may be readily distinguished from T. 

 .Chehula, Retz (which in many respects it resembles) and from every other Asiatic 

 Terminalia by the peculiar areolate reticuhition of the under surface of the leaves. 



2. Terminalia Manii, King n. spec. A tree 20-40 feet high ; 

 young shoots slender, deciduously rusty-puberulous, lenticellate. Leare^i 

 thinly coriaceous, almost opposite, not crowded, scattered, elliptic or 

 ovate, shortly and rather abruptly acuminate, the base rounded or some- 

 what cuneate and slightly oblique ; both surfaces glabrescent or glabrous, 

 minutely reticulate, the reticulations on the lower tesselate ; main nerves 

 9-12 (rarely ]4) pairs, spreading, curving upwards at the tips ; length 

 :3-25-6-5 in., breadth 2-3 in. ; petiole '75 in. long, often with 2 sessile 

 oblong glands at the sides near its apex. Panicles lateral and terminalj 

 Avith numerous spike-like rusty-puberulous ultimately glabrous branches 

 shorter than the leaves when in flower, longer when in fruit. Flowers 



"15 in. in diam. at the mouth, each subtended by a linear puberulous 

 bracteole as long as itself. Ovary narrow, cylindric, thickened and 

 pubescent towards the base, the upper half and the mouth glabrous 

 outside ; the mouth cupular with inconspicuous broad shallow teeth, 

 woolly inside. Stamens exserted, glabrous. Fruit oblong, tapering a 

 little to each end, slightly compi-essed on one side, obscurely 5-ridged, 

 quite glabrous, •6--75 in. long, and •3--35 in. in diam. ; pericarp crusta- 

 ceous, hard, thick. 



Nicobar and Andaman Islands ; King's Collectors. 

 Named in honour of Mr. E. H. l\ran, C. I. E., Deputy Superintendent of the 

 Andaman and Nicobar Islands, whose powerful help has made it possible to explore 

 the Forests of these most interesting islands ; a species of which the nearest ally is 

 probably T. citrina, Roxb. 



3. Terminalia belerica, Roxb. Fl. Ind. 11, 431. A tall tree.
