140 ANNALS OF ROYAL BOTANIC GARDEN, CALCUTTA. 
Distinguished by its leaves opaque and whitish beneath and with faint sub-hor'zontal nerves. In 
fruit this resembles С. Penungiana; but it has a very different stigma.

Garcinia KUNSTLERI, King in Journ. As. Soc, Bengal, for 1890, pt. 2, p 165. 
A shrub, 6 to 8 (rarely 15) feet high; the young branches dark-coloured, not-angled. 
Leaves membranous, oblanceolate to narrowly ovate-lanceolate, shortly but sharply acu- 
minate, the base much narrowed; smooth on both surfaces, the lower rather pale ; 
nerves indistinct, spreading, 9 to 13 pairs, some of the intermediate almost as distinct 
as the primary; length 3'5 to 5 in., breadth 1:15 to 18 in., petiole :35 to ۰6 in. Male 
flowers about ‘15 in. in diam., in small axillary or terminal fascicles of 3 to 6. Sepals 4, 
ovate-orbicular, membranous, concave. Petals 4, broadly ovate, blunt, fleshy, concave. 
Stamens about 15, forming a convex mass; Ше anthers transversely flattened, 4-celled, 
the connective broad; rudimentary pistil 0. Female flowers solitary; sepals 4, orbicular, 
membranous, veined. Petals 0.  Staminodes 4, with filaments half as long as the 
ovary, and flat square heads. Ovary thick, cylindric, vertically grooved; the stigma 
convex, with large prominent black-tipped conical papille, and with about 10 incon- 
spicuous lobes. Fruit orange-yellow, depressed, sub-globose, about 1:25 in. in diam., 
smooth, the sepals persistent at its base for some time.

This is allied to the Burmese ©. Jinoceiroides, Т. Anders.; but has smaller flowers, fewer stamens 
and more acuminate leaves. | » я

GARCINIA Wnavr King in Journ. As. Soc. Bengal, for 1890, pi. 2, p. 152. 
A small spreading tree; young branches very slender, dirty yellow. Leaves thinly 
coriaceous, ovate or elliptic, the apex produced into a long sub-spathulate point, the base 
cuneate; upper surface shining, the lower dull, pale; nerves slender, sub horizontal, 
2205 in. apart, invisible on the upper and faint on the lower surface even when dry; 
length 2 to 2:5 in., of which the apical tail is sometimes as much as °75 in., breadth 8 
to 12 in.; petiole 2 in. Май flowers "25 in. in diam., in pedunculate axillary fascicles 
of 2 or 3; buds globose, pedicels ۰15 in.; perianth reflexed; sepals 4, the outer less 
_ than half as large as the inner pair, all orbicular, sub-coriaceous and concave; petals 4, 
orbicular, blunt, with a thickened spot near the base, covering the stamens in bud: 
stamens numerous, on both surfaces of 4 fleshy processes; anthers sessile, globular-oblong, 
| the connective rather thick, 2-celled, dehiscence vertical; rudy. style cylindric; stigma 
 sub-lobulate, convex. Female flowers axillary, solitary, or clustered like the males; 
_ sepals 4, orbicular, thin, concave, about the same size as the petals and neither sepals 
hor petals quite covering the stigma in bud: petals 4, orbicular, concave, with a coloured
