16 XLVi. ANACAEDiACEj;. (J. D. Hooker.) [MoMgifera. 



Oriffith remarks, is very near M. syhiatica, and as far as I can see may be a form 

 of that plant, differing chiefly in the smaller disk and very narrow petals. _ Griffith 

 describes the calyx and pedicels as pubemlous, but I find no trace of this. The 

 Malay name is ' Boa Pow.' — Crriffith. 



8. nx, zejrlanlca, Sbok. f. ; leaves oblong-obovate oblong or elliptic- 

 lanceolate obtuse or rounded at the tip reticulated^ panicle glabrous stout 

 narrow^ sepals orbicular, petals 6 oblong with 5 ridges, stamen 1 with 6-8 

 minute subulate filaments, style subterminal. M. indica, Thwaites Enum, 75 ; 

 Buchanania ? zeylanica, JBlume Mus. Bat. i. 185. 



Ceylon ; abundant up to an elevation of 3000 ft. 



A tree,' everywhere quite glabrous. iea»es small,' 2-3| by 1-1^ in., coriaceous, 

 usually rounded at the tip, nerves 12-15 pairs, arching; petiole ^-f in. Fanide 

 stout, erect, much longer than the leaves. Flowers J in, diam. ; pedicel slender. 

 Petals short, elliptic-oblong, -with 5 nerve-like ridges. Disk large. Stamen short. 

 Ovary obscurely pubescent. — Thwaites identifies this specifically with the culti- 

 vated M. indica, but it appears to me to differ much in habit and foliage, in the 

 contracted panicle, more pedicelled flowers, perfectly glabrous sepals, and short 

 petals. 



9. Tit. g^racUlpes, Sbok. f. ; leaves small elliptic-lanceolate acuminate 

 •obscurely reticulate, petiole very slender, inflorescence of many slender erect 

 glabrous compound racemes, pedicels very slender, petals 5 lanceolate with 

 3-5 ridges, stamen 1 perfect slender with 4 short subulate filaments, style 

 lateral. 



Maiacca, Maingay. 



A large tree, everywhere perfectly glabrous ; branches very slender for the genusi 

 Leaves 3-4 by l-lj in., undulate, much narrowed at both ends, nerves faint,' 

 arched ;, petiole remarkably slender, |-1 in., hot much thickened at the base. 

 Eacemes (branches of a sessile panicle which start in a fascicle from the tips of 

 the branches), long, very slender, much exceeding the leaves, and bearing short 

 lateral branches throughout their length; pedicels very slender. Flowers about 

 ^ in. diam. Sepals ovate, obtuse. Petals twice as long, pale green with purplish' 

 lidges. Filament slender, exserted. Disk rugose. Ovary quite smooth; ovule 

 pendulous from a basal funicle. 



10. m. oblong'ifolia, HooJc. f. ; leaves linear-oblong obtuse or sub- 

 acute very coriaceous not reticulated beneath, petiole long, panicle large 

 spreading quite glabrsus, flowers pedicelled, petals 5 eUiptic-oblong with a 

 basal tubercle and 3-5 more or less confluent ridges, stamen 1 perfect witih 4 

 ■shorter antheriferous ones, style subterminal. 



Maiacoa, Griffith, Maingay (cult.). 



A very large tree, glabrous throughout ; branehlets stout. Leaves 8-12 by 11-21 

 in., very coriaceous, with undulate margins, faintly reticulate above, not at all or 

 very obscurely so beneath ; base usually rounded ; nerves 20-25 pairs. Panicle very 

 large, branches widely spreading, 2-3-chotomously divided. Flowers distant, i'in. 

 diam. ; pedicel rather stout, \-^ in. Sepals veined. Petals rather short, yellow, ridges 

 tipped with red. Fruit i in. long, ovoid, didl green.— Maingay, from whom this 

 description of the fruit is taken, says that this is cxiltivated at Malacca as the Quenee 

 Mango.
