I am in some doubt about this plant, -which is -well figured in Roxburgh's 

 dra-wings, but of "which I have seen no flo-wering or fruiting specimen. I believe 

 it to be a common tree in the Silhet, Khasia and Sikkim jungles, -with usually 

 longer more membranous young leaves than the Mango, and a more open lax per- 

 fectly glabrous panicle, and loose pedicelled flo-wers. Eoxburgh contrasts it -with 

 the cultivated sorts as having a much larger panicle, -with the numerous ramifica- 

 tions more erect and slender, flo-wers more completely monandrous, disk villous. 

 The leaves he describes as in the common Mango. The drupe he figures as ovoid, 

 gradually narrowed at the top into a sharp curved beak. Graham ( Cat. Bomb. PI.) 

 states that is a native of the Bombay Ghats, but no one has fconfirmed this. 

 Kurz's specimens, thus named from the Andaman Islands, have leaves 10-12 by 

 2J-3§ in., membranous, much reticulated, elliptic-lanceolate, acuminate, petiole 

 very slender f-2 in. ; nerves 16-20 pairs, slender, arched. I have gathered similar 

 specimens in Sikkim and Silhet, -with petioles 4 in. long, and WalliA's 8487 I. quite 

 agrees -with these. My Khasia ones, -with slender branched panicles (as in Rox- 

 burgh's description and figure), but flowers all dropped, have leaves like those of 

 M. indica. Kurz (Journ. As. Soc. Beng. 1870, ii. 75), observes that Miquel has 

 incorrectly identified this plant with M. indica, from which it is at once distin- 

 guished by the very different white flowers, the disk and acuminated fruit.'

 into 5 nerves, stamen 1, imperfect ones minute.
