GARCINIA OPACA, King in Journ. Аз. Soc. Bengal, for 1890, pt. 2 p. 160. 
A tree 40 to 60 feet high; the branchlets (when dry) dull dirty yellow, striate. Leaves 
oblong, narrowed at each end, the apex more or less acuminate, the base cuneate; 
upper surface slightly shining, lower surface opaque, whitish; the rather numerous 
nearly horizontal nerves thin, little visible on eitker surface, the midrib bold and pro- 
minent on both; length 4 to 5 in., breadth 1:75 to 2:25 in., petiole *6 in. Male flowers 
‘75 in, in diam., in shortly pedicelled, 2- to 3-flowered, ebracteolate, terminal or axillary 
cymes; pedicels “25 in., annulated; sepals 4, ovate, concave, thin, veined ; petals 4, similar 
to the sepals, but a little larger; stamens numerous, on a single, convex, fleshy receptacle; 
anthers sessile, depressed-globular, with circumscissile dehiscence; rudimentary stigma 0. 
Female flowers solitary, terminal: sepals more coriaceous than those of the male flower ; 
staminodes 0; ovary cylindric; stigma convex, smooth, the edge irregularly subcrenaie. 
Fruit solitary, terminal, ovate-globose, slightly mammillate, crowned by the broad iat 
stigma which has 4 broad shallow rounded lobes; the sepals rounded, cartilaginous, per-
