8. Garcinia ? sp. 

 Great Coco. 



An altogether doubtful plant represented by one leaf specimen 

 among the plants collected by Mr. Kurz in 1866 ; nothing resembl- 

 ing it was met with in 1889 or 1890. Mr. Kurz did not himself 

 collect in Great Coco. A deputation that visited the island while 

 he was at Port Blair brought him a few specimens ; there may even be 

 some confusion as to the locality — the deputation visited Narcondam 

 and elsewhere as well as the Cocos.
