ON TWO NEW SPECIES OF HERITIERA. 
By S. Kvrz. 
(Tas. 141.) 
Tue genus Heritiera was supposed for a long time to consist eae 
of two species, both littoral. To these I added H. macrophylla, rey 
decidedly non-saline species; and Major Beddome described in his 
“Plora Sylvatica” another new species from West Hindostan, which 
he called H. Vespertilio. 
In looking over the species of this genus in the Calcutta Herba- 
rium, I a marked species becca name under Wallich’s List, 
no. 7836, from Sylhet. A figure of this exists amongst Wallich?s
