STYBAGAGHJEJ. 



271. Symplocos leiostachya, Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. Beng. 1873, 

 89 and in Trim. Journ. Bot. 1875, 329. — A lofty tree, common in tbe tro- 

 pical forests of Kamorta, remaining low along the outskirts of the forests. 



JASMINACE^E. 



272. JAsairNUM acumihatissimum, Bl. — Frequent in the tropical 

 forests of Kamorta, and along their outskirts ; Nankowry (Novara 103 

 and 104 ; Jelinek 121 and 162 — njod, inc.). 



273. Chionakthus Palembaisticus, Miq. Suppl. Fl. Sum. 558. — 

 Great Nicobar (Novara 73 ; Jelinek 255 — utenya, inc.) ; Nankowry (No- 

 vara 74 ; Jelinek 125 — hlanghong, inc.). 



N. B. Fruiting specimens from the Vienna Museum prove the species 

 to be quite distinct from Ch. ramiflorus, Roxb., with which I identified the 

 flowering specimens from the Andamans in my And. Rep. App. A. 42. 

 The drupes are 1 — If inches long, ovoid to oblong, slightly curved, the 

 putamen smooth or, more usually, slightly and longitudinally furrowed. 

 Neither do I believe that Roxburgh's Moluccan species is correctly identified 

 with the Indian plant of the same name and with Ch. macrophyllus 

 (Linociera — Wall. ) . 



274. Chionanthus sp. ? (leaves only). Not unfrequent in the coral- 

 reef -forests of Katchall ; (Novara 57 ; Jelinek).

276. Steychnos acuminata, Wall. — Nankowry (Novara 105 ; Je- 

 linek 159 — schong, inc.). 



277. Fagbaea eacemosa, Jack. — Frequent in the tropical forests of 

 Kamorta, but still more common as a small tree on the grass-heaths of the 

 same island ; Great Nicobar (Novara 106 ; Jelinek 241 — ilolco, inc.). 



278. Gynopogof stellatum, Labill. — Nankowry, at Malacca. 



279. Ceebeea Odallum, Ham. — Not unfrequent in the beach-forests, 

 and along the outskirts of the mangrove -swamps, of Kamorta and Kat- 

 chall. 



280. Ochbosia Salubeis, Miq. — Rather frequent in the beach-forests 

 of Kamorta j Trice and Track (Novara 106/« ; Jelinek 184 — lata, inc.).
