CALOPHYLLUM, Linn. Nat. Ord. Guttiferae. 
Trees. Leaves opposite, shining, coriaceous, with innumerable parallel slender veins 
at right angles to the midrib. Flowers polygamous, in numerous axillary or terminal 
panicles. Sepals and petals 4-12, imbricate in 2-3 series, Stamens very many, filaments 
filiform, often flexuous, free or connate below; anthers erect, 2-celled, dehiscence vertical- 
Ovary 1-celled, style slender, stigma peltate; ovule solitary, erect. Drupe with a crusta-

CaLoPHYLLUM PRAINIANUM, King in Journ. As. Soc. Bengal, for 1890, pt, 2, p. 175. 
A glabrous tree 40 to 60 feet high; the youngest branchlets polished, terete, 
yellowish. eaves thinly coriaceous, elliptie-oblong, shortly sub-abruptly and obtusely 
acuminate, narrowed in the lower third to the short petiole; the nerves rather distinct 
on both surfaces; lower surface paler than upper, both shining; the edge pale yellow, . 
very slightly thickened: length 2:5 to 4 ш., breadth 1 to 15 in., petiole 2:5 to 4 in. 
Касетез solitary, axillary, rarely supra-axillary, about 1:5 in, long, ebracteate, lax, few- 
flowered. Flowers “25 in. in diam.; pedicels slender, "25 in., the upper rather longer. 
Sepals 4; the outer pair orbieular, concave, puberulous externally; the inner pair larger, 
imbricate, orbicular-oblong, glabrous. Petals 0. Ovary ovoid, stigma very broad. Fruit 
sub-spherical, “4 in. in diam., pericarp thin. 
Perak; King's Collector, Nos. 5366 and 7213. 
Very like C. pulcherimum, but with globular fruit: also like C. Tevsmannü, but the nervation of 
the leaves in that species is unusually oblique for the genus, whereas in this the nerves are almost 
horizontal.

CALOPHYLLUM SUBSESSILE, King п. sp. 
A glabrous tree 60 to 80 feet high ; the young branches 4-angled, shining. Leaves 
coriaceous, elliptic-oblong, entire, the apex obtuse or emarginate, the base minutely 
cordate, both surfaces shining, the edge slightly revolute when dry ; length 3:5 to 6 in., 
breadth 1-75 to 2:5 in., petiole only about '1 in. long.  Ztacemes solitary, few-flowered ; 
bracts small, ovate, deciduous, distiehous. Flwers “5 in. in diam., greenish-white ; 
pedicels slender, longer than the flowers. Sepals rotund, concave, the petals similar 
but more membranous. Ovary globose, striate, about as long as the cylindric style. 
Fruit globular, minutely pubescent, 1 in. or more in diam.
