M. Vesque classes this plant under the heading, "Folia apice

 certainly subacute or almost acute.

i exist in botanical libraries of Du Petit 

 Thouars' Hist aire des Yeyctanx r true ill is dons les isles anstralrs 

 d'Afrique (1806), with 24' plates. It contains a good figure of 

 Chri/supiu fasciculata, which M. Vesque does not seem to have 

 seen. In the Few copy, which bears the date 1805, there are six 

 additional plates without text, t. 26 being a figure of Ochrocarpus, 

 and t. 27 Brindonia oxycarpa. This latter plant seems to have 

 escaped subsequent notice, and finds no place in the Indc.r K< >r, nsis. 



Under Garcinia the following Mascarene species are omitted 

 from the index of M. Vesque's Monograph, nor have I found them 

 in the body of the work :— G. paucifiora Baker in Journ. Linn. Hoc. 

 xx. 92. Q. Melleri Baker, I.e. G. cemua Baker, /. c. xxii. 446. 

 G. orthnelada Baker, I.e. G. caulijiora Baker, I.e. G. polyphlebia 

 Baker, I. c. 447. G. pachyphylla Baker, /. c. xxv. 295. G. aphano- 

 ker, /. c. xxv. 295. 

 M. Vesque gives Western Tropical Africa, Madagascar, and 

 Tropical Asia as the geographical range of Garcinia. Harvey, 

 however (Gen. S. Afr. PI. ed. li. 26 (1861) ), published G. Gerrardi 

 from Natal, and my father has described G. Buchanani (in Few 

 Bulletin, 1894, 354) fiom Nyasaland, so that the range must be 

 extended. 



a. Mestoni F. M. Bailey (Bot. Bellenden-Fer Expedition, 31 

 (1889) ), gathered on the Belleuden Eer Range, Australia, at an 

 altitude of 2000 ft., does not appear in the Monograph.
