Ng Chi Leng, McClure U57, May 6, 1922, in forested ravines 

 on the south slope of the mountain, the flowers greenish cream 

 colored, slightly fragrant. 



A strongly marked species, apparently not closely related to 

 any other described form of the section Discostigma, well char- 

 acterized by its slenderly nerved leaves, their margins distinctly 

 revolute; its terminal, paniculate or racemose, few-flowered in- 

 florescences ; and its relatively large staminate flowers. 



GARCINIA OLIGANTHA sp. nov. 



Frutex 1.5 m altus, ramis ramulisque tenuibus, subolivaceis, 

 ramis teretibus, ramulis acute angulatus, 1 mm diametro ; f oliis 

 chartaceis, in siccitate pallidis, oblongo-ellipticis ad lanceolatis, 

 5 ad 9 cm longis, 1.5 ad 3.5 cm latis, perspicue obtuse acuminatis, 

 basi acutis; nervis utrinque 5 vel 6, tenuibus, obscuris; petiolo 

 4 ad 12 mm longo; floribus 9 axillaribus, solitariis, sessilibus 

 vel brevissime pedicellatis ; sepalis 4, inaequalibus, exterioribus 

 orbiculari-ovatis, 2 ad 3 mm longis, interioribus ellipticis ad 

 oblongo-ellipticis, 4 ad 5 mm longis, rotundatis ; staminoidiis 12, 

 partibus liberis 0.8 ad 1.2 mm longis, basi omnibus connatis 

 cupula 1 mm alta formantibus ; ovario 4-loculare, stigmate sessile, 

 2 mm diametro. 



Ng Chi Leng, McClure 8701, December 1, 1921, on forested 

 slopes, altitude about 700 meters. 



A strongly marked species, well characterized by its rather 

 thm, few-nerved, comparatively small leaves; its very slender 

 branches and branchlets, the latter but 1 mm in diameter and 

 sharply angled; and its sessile, solitary, pistillate flowers, the 

 12 staminodes being entirely united below into a cup, 1 mm 

 high, surrounding the ovary. In its staminode characters it 

 resembles Garcinia hanburyi Hook. i. and G. gaudichaudii PI. 

 & Tr., but is otherwise not closely allied to these species.

 pubescentibus; foliis oblongo-ellipticis, chartaceis, olivaceis, 15 

 ad 20 cm longis, 6 ad 8 cm latis, acuminatis, basi acutis ad ob- 

 tusis, margine minute denticulatis, supra glabris, subtus molliter 

 pubescentibus, nervis utrinque circiter 9, perspicuis, curvatis, 

 supra haud impressis, subtus paullo elevatis; petiolo 6 ad 10 

 mm longo ; floribus fasciculatis, pedicellatis, sepalis persistentibus 

 oblongo-ellipticis, obtusis, 3 mm longis, leviter pubescentibus,
