This plant is very imperfectly known. -The carpels associated with Maingay/: S 
specimens do not agree with his description of them (Fl. Br. Ind. i, 94), and they 
are evidently those of some species of Polyalthia.

2, Muezzermia Herveyana, Oliver in Hook. Ic. Pl., t. 1560. A tree; young 
branches rather stout, nodose, glabrous. Leaves coriaceous, elliptic-oblong, shortly acu-
