Hyrrricacear.—HHypericum Wightianum, Wall. An exam- 
ination of the good series of specimens now before me indicates 
that the above species should not be referred to H. napaulense, 
Choisy, being intermediate between that species and ZH. elodeo- 
ides, Choisy. Both of Choisy’s species are founded on Wallich’s 
specimens so that all three types were able to be laid side by 
side at Kew where the Wallichian herbarium is now preserved. 
H. Wightianum, Wall. may be readily distinguished from H. 
elodeoides, Choisy in its lowest leaf veins not reaching beyond 
the middle of the blade instead of extending nearly to the tip, 
and from H. napaulense, Choisy by its larger sepals which are 
about equal to the whole pistil when in flower and to the capsule 
in fruit instead of being equal to the ovary when in flower and 
to half the capsule when in fruit. 
Gerrirerar.—Garcinia’ tinctoria, Dunn. Xanthochymus. 
tinctorius, DC. is the oldest available name for the species ; 
Roxburgh’s X. pictorius is older but the trivial name is pre- 
occupied in Garcinia by G. pictoria, Roxb. which is a different 
species. 
Garcinia spicata, Hook. f. The specific name ovalifolia 
(Xanthochymus ovalifolius, Roxb. 1832) has priority over spicata 
to designate a different species and is therefore not available 
for this one. 
Calophyllum decipiens, Wight. This appears to be the 
earliest name which can be applied accurately to this Calo- 
phyllum and the fact that Thwaites afterwards applied it to 
another species, 7.e., to the tree subsequently called C. 
Thwaitesti (Planch, et Trian. Mem. Guttif. 232) does not 
invalidate its use for the one originally intended by Wight. 
C. tomentosum, Wight. The type of this species is a Ceylon 
tree which has not been reported in the area covered by this 
ora. The Travancore species is much less tomentose and 
should bear Beddome’s name of C. elatum (Bedd. Fl. Sylv. t. 2): 
probably not be cited her 
Balanocarpus utils, Bedd.- The pubescent petals of this 
species serve to distinguish it in the absence of fruit from the 
Riabrous-petalled but otherwise closely similar Hopea parviflora, 
edd. . 
Matvacrar.—Malva parviflora, Linn, The synon y 38
