Dr, Maingay, in his MS. notes on tliis plant, states that the leaves 

 are ' very minutely but distinctly pellncido-punctate.' I cannot discern 

 these in the dry state, the leaves being coriaceous, but this character, 

 coupled with the absence of bitter taste in the wood, renders the 

 genus doubtfully Simarubeous, as remarked by Dr. BailJon. Dr. 

 Maingay thought it allied to Glycosmis, His specimens are accom- 

 panied by dried fruits 2-2^ ins. long, di'upaceous, with a rather thick 

 bony putamen, becoming fibrous as it passes into the mesoearp. The 

 seeds present, within the rather thick testa, a narrow belt of albumen, 

 as I take it, on the outer sides of the large cotyledons. The floral 

 structure is very similar to that of J. Barteri, and the occurrence of 

 the genus Irvingia in Malaya adds another interesting link to the con- 

 nection between the Malayan, Madagascar, and West Tropical African 

 floras indicated by the singular genera, common to each, Faropsia and 

 AnisojjJiyllea. lodes, too, strengthens this relationship,— D. Oliver.
