Hab. Rare (one tree only seen) in the coast forests of South Anda- 

 man ; here and there cultivated in Pegu and Tenasserim. 



One of those trees that are stated to be very frequent in the Indian 

 jungles, but I myself have never succeeded in seeing it in a truly wild state, 

 although the loftiness of the tree and the decussate ternation of its branch- 

 es would render it recognizable from a long distance.

Hab. Tenasserim. Fr. May, June. 



Heifer writes in his second report on the resources of Tenasserim : '' This 

 tree does not grow so far north as Moulmein, some few trees excepted 

 which are grown as a rarity on the island of Beloo. Its sphere begins at 

 Tavoy ; large plantations occur to the E. of Mount Burney, and very fine 

 specimens in the valley of Taunbiaun. Lower down on the Tenasserim, 

 the tree begins to grow almost spontaneously, and in lat. ii^ it forms large 

 forests." 



The Burmese specimens in Dr. Brandis' herbarium, although destitute 

 of corolla, do not differ from the Malayan durian, and the calyx is the same 

 in size as well as in shape.
