MOULMEIN and TAVOY ; Parish. AMHERST ; Wallich. TENASSERIM ; Kurz. 



An evergreen tree 30-50 ft. Leaves 14 by 7 in., narrowed to the base, minutely 

 serrulate or nearly entire, glabrous ; petiole \ in. Raceinc sometimes 3 ft., always 

 elongate with a thick rachis, pendulous ; bract to each flower in., ovate or lanceo- 

 late, caducous. Calyx total length in., minutely white-torn entose. Petals f in., 

 ovate, white (Parish). Fruit (half-ripe) 1 in., ellipsoid, somewhat obovoid, quadran- 

 gular, wings 4, narrow. 



7. B. Helferi, C. B. Clarke ; leaves linear-oblong, pedicels \ in., calyx- 

 tube in the bud funnel-shaped. Doxomma angustatum, Miers in Trans. Linn. 

 Soc. ser. ii. Sot. i. 105, partly. 



TENASSERTM and ANDAMANS ; Heifer (Kew Distrib. No. 2426). 



Leaves 20 by 4 in., narrowed to the base, minutely serrulate or nearly entire, gla- 

 brous ; petiole in. Raceme exceeding 1 ft., pendulous, glabrous or minutely puber- 

 ulous. Calyx total length ^ in., obscurely puberulous; tube in the bud terete or very 

 obscurely quadrangular ; whereas in B. augusta (to which Heifer's plant is referred by 

 Miers) the wings are broad sinuous even in the bud. 



ft Petiole long, usually more than in. 



8. B. pterocarpa, Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. 1873, pt. 234; For. FL 

 i. 498 ; leaves obovate-lanceolate petiole often 1 in., spike 20 in. pendulous, 

 flowers sessile, calyx-tube in the bud 4-winged. [The syn. D. magnificum 

 Miers, quoted by Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. 1877, pt. ii. 70, does not belong.] 



PEGU and MARTABAN to TENASSERIM ; Kurz No. 3021. 



An evergreen tree, 30-50 ft., glabrous. Leaves 10 by 3| in. (attain 16 in. ex 

 Kurz), acute, attenuated at the base, minutely serrulate or nearly entire. Kachis of 

 spike thick, glabrous or obscurely puberulous. Calyx total length f in., tube ob- 

 scurely puberulous, distinctly 4-winged in the bud but much less so than in B. au- 

 gusta. Fruit (ex Kurz) 2 in. oblong, quadrangular, angles with narrow but thick 

 wings, fibrous-fleshy. This seems very near B. augusta, as Mr. Kurz states.
