16 XLVI. ANACARDIACE^. (J. D. Hooker.) [Mangifera. 



Griffith remarks, is very near M. sylvatica, and as far as I can see may be a form 

 of that plant, differing chiefly in the smaller disk and very narrow petals. Griffith 

 describes the calyx and pedicels as puberulous, but I find no trace of this. Tho 

 Malay name is ' Boa Pow.' Griffith. 



8. 1H. zeylanica, Hook. f. ; leaves oblong-obovate oblong or elliptic- 

 lanceolate obtuse or rounded at the tip reticulated, panicle glabrous stout 

 narrow, sepals orbicular, petals 5 oblong with 5 ridges, stamen 1 with 6-8 

 minute subulate filaments, style subtenninal. M. indica, Thiuaites Enum. 75 ; 

 Buchanania ? zeylanica, Blume Mus. JBot. i. 185. 



CEYLON ; abundant up to an elevation of 3000 ft. 



A tree, everywhere quite glabrous. Leaves small," 2-3| by 1-1^ in., coriaceous, 

 usually rounded at the tip, nerves 12-15 pairs, arching; petiole ^-f in. Panicle 

 stout, erect, much longer than the leaves. Flowers in, diam. ; pedicel slender. 

 Petals short, elliptic-oblong, with 5 nerve-like ridges. Disk large. Stamen short. 

 Ovary obscurely pubescent. Thwaites identifies this specifically with the culti- 

 vated M. indica, but it appears to me to differ much in habit and foliage, in the 

 contracted panicle, more pedicelled flowers, perfectly glabrous sepals, and short 

 petals. 



9. UK. gracilipes, Hook. f. ; leaves small elliptic-lanceolate acuminate 

 obscurely reticulate, petiole very slender, inflorescence of many slender erect 

 glabrous compound racemes, pedicels very slender, petals 5 lanceolate with 

 3-5 ridges, stamen 1 perfect slender with 4 short subulate filaments, style 

 lateral. 



MALACCA, Maingay. 



A large tree, everywhere perfectly glabrous ; branches very slender for the genus. 

 Leaves 3-4 by 1-1| in., undulate, much narrowed at both ends, nerves faint, 

 arched; petiole remarkably slender, |-1 in., not much thickened at the base. 

 Racemes (branches of a sessile panicle which start in a fascicle from the tips of 

 the branches), long, very slender, much exceeding the leaves, and bearing short 

 lateral branches throughout' their length; pedicels very slender. Flowers about 

 in. diam. Sepals ovate, obtuse. Petals twice as long, pale green with purplish 

 ridges. Filament slender, exserted. Disk rugose. Ovary quite smooth; ovule 

 pendulous from a basal funicle. 



10. IK. oblong-ifolia, Hook. f. ; leaves linear-oblong obtuse ' or sub- 

 acute very coriaceous not reticulated beneath, petiole long, panicle large 

 spreading quite glabrous, flowers pedicelled, petals 5 elliptic-oblong with a 

 basal tubercle and 3-5 more or less confluent ridges, stamen 1 perfect with 4 

 shorter antheriferous ones, style subterminal. 



MALACCA, Griffith, Maingay (cult.). 



A very large tree, glabrous throughout ; branchlets stout. Leaves 8-12 by 1|-2| 

 in., very coriaceous, with undulate margins, faintly reticulate above, not at all or 

 very obscurely so beneath ; base usually rounded ; nerves 20-25 pairs. Panicle very 

 large, branches widely spreading, 2-3-chotomously divided. Flowers distant, in. 

 diam. ; pedicel rather stout, \-^ in. Sepals veined. Petals rather short, yellow, ridges 

 tipped with red. Fruit 4 in. long, ovoid, dull green. Maingay, from whom this 

 description of the fruit is taken, says that this is cultivated at Malacca as the Quenee 

 Mango. 



** Petals 4, with 1-5 free or confluent ridges that terminate in wart-like 

 excrescences. 



11. BX. quadrifida, Jack in JRoxb. Fl. Ind. ed. Carey, ii. 440 ; leaves 

 lliptic-oblong or oblong-lanceolate obtuse narrowed into long petioles reticulate 

 beneath inflorescence of many erect stout glabrous compound racemes, petals 4
