Vegetation peculiar chiefly of Eugenia trees, with one or 
two Guttiferze as Calophyllum, Garcinia.

The above Santalaceous plant i is very much like one, from 
mount Ophir, Pudhan Bhattoo. 
This is distinguished from the other Malacca, species by 
its fleshy, scarcely coriaceous leaves, by the aggregation of 
the female flowers in the axills, and by the shape of the 
calyx, especially in its young stages. 
Osyris foliis carnosis vix coriaceous, floribus fæmin. ag- 
gregatis, alabastis turbinatis, calycis tubo cito globoso. 
There also appear to be no hairs at the back of the sta- 
mina.
