A tree, quite glabrous throughout. Leaves 4-7 by l|-2 in., coriaceous, veiy 

 brown when dry and rather shining ; nerves 12—15 pairs slender, arched ; petiole 

 1—1} in., gradually dilated upwaids. Panicles usually longer than the leaves, very 

 many-flowered. Flowers | in. diam. (4-5-merous, white, disagreeably-scented, 

 Griffith). Sepals orbicular. Petals elliptic, obtuse. Filaments subulate, white. Drupe 

 ^ in. diam., orbicular, compressed with a sharp edge. — Blume's B. arborescens, and 

 perhaps B. longifolia, are hardly distinct from this, as is Miquel's petiolaris and 

 bancana. I should refer hither also the glabrous panicled Australian plant placed 

 under angustifolia, Eoxb., in the Flora Australiensis.

5. B. acuminata, Turcz. in Bull. Mosc. 1868, i. 472 ; glabrous 

 throughout, leaves long- or short-petioled obovate or oblanceolate abruptly 

 acuminate, panicles spreading exceeding the leaves long-peduncled very slender 

 lax-flowered, flowers pedicelled. B. sessilifolia, Blume Mus. Bat. i. 184.

A small tree. Leaves 4-7 by 2-2i in., thinly coriaceous, tips very acute, base 

 much narrowed, reticulate on both surfaces, quite sessile in Penang specimens, with 

 slender petioles sometimes 1| in. in Malacca and Tenasserim ones, bright brown 

 •when dry ; nerves about 1 5 pairs, slender. Panicles chiefly axiUaiy, branches divari- 

 cating. Flowers ^ in. diam. Sepals small, orbicular. Petals oblong. Filaments 

 compressed. Lrvpe as in B. lucida. — I think there is no doubt of Blume's B. sessiU- 

 folia being a sessile-leaved form of this, which is far more frequently a petioled plant, 

 and therefore better fltted to Turczaninoff's name thaa to Blume's, though against the 

 laws of priority. 



6. B. lanceolata, Wt. Ic. t. 237 ; III. i. 186 ; leaves elliptic-lanceolate 

 obtusely acuminate, petiole stout, 'panicles short pubescent, flowers crowded 

 subsessile. Buchanania ? acuminata, Wall. Cat. 981. 



Western Peninsula ; near Qmlon, Wight. 



A tree. Leaves 4-5 by I5-I} in., reticulate and shining on both surfeces, margin 

 waved, base acute but not contracted into the petiole ; nerves 16-20 pairs, slender 

 arched ; petiole j-} in., stout. Panicles shorter than the leaves, numerous, stout, 

 axillary and terminal. Flowers 1 in. diam., crowded on the short stout lateral 

 branches. Sepals rounded. Petds broadly oblong. Filaments subulate. Fniit 

 unknown. — ^WaUich's B.l acuminata, from Tavoy (Cat. 981), is very similar to this; 

 it has fruit only, and the nervation is a little different.
