ANDAMAN ISLANDS, MALAY PENINSULA, and CEYLON. DISTEIB. Malay Archipe- 

 lago, Mauritius. 



A small evergreen tree ; branches slender. Leaves 3-6 by l-2 in., brown -when 

 dry, coriaceous, nerves few ; petiole - in. ; stipules ^ in. Cymes <$ long- or short- 

 peduncled, 3-1 2-fl owered, flowers sessile. Calyx-tube obscurely toothed ; $ terminal 

 on a stout peduncle, urn-shaped, campanulate in fruit. Corolla very variable, | in, 

 long, silky-pubescent, lobes rounded. Drupe globose, \-^ in. long, rarely oblong, 

 ribbed. There may be more than one Indian species, b\it the plant is so variable 

 that I am unable to decide. Wallich's G. ? Brunonis, from Singapore, has very 

 small leaves, and the $ cymes have spreading many-flowered branches. The Ceylon 

 specimens have larger flowers than the Malayan.

PENANG, MALACCA, and SINGAPOEE, Wallich, &c. DISTRIB. Malay Archipelago. 



Very similar to T. Jambosella, but the # cymes are usually shorter peduncled 

 and smaller, and the leaves often very silky beneath. I have, however, great diffi- 

 culty in distinguishing these species, and both seem to vary much in the pubescence 

 of the leaves and size of flowers ; the drupes are oblong or globose. Penang speci- 

 mens from Maingay have small leaves, 2|-3 in., almost glabrous beneath, and <? flv 

 not in. long; they have ellipsoid or globose berries, and may be a different species.

 obovate or elliptic-oblong tip rounded or obtuse glabrous beneath. Tiruonius,.

SINGAPORE, Wallich, Cr. Thomson. 



Branches stout, glabrous. Leaves 3-5 in., narrowed into the very short petiole ; 

 midrib strong, red ; nerves very slender. Flower $ not seen ; ? solitary or 2-nate 

 on pedicels |-1 in. Drupe globose, nearly -^ in. diam. I doubt this being anything 

 but a variety of T. Jambosella, though the form of the leaf is very different, the 

 petiole shorter, and flower larger. The specimens of this genus in Wallich's Her- 

 barium are much mixed. The sheet marked Finlaysonianus (6223) contains two 

 specimens of what I think are different things (from Herb. Finlayson) : one has 

 small (2 in.) elliptic acute leaves, and long pedicellecl quite glabrous $ flowers ^ iru 

 long, fascicled on a very short peduncle, with a glabrous long-pedicelled young fruit 

 from a lower axil ; the other specimen has ? flowers only, solitary in the axils, a
