Mountains of the Westekn Peninsui.a, from Concan to Travancor ; Ceylon. 



A small erect tree ; branches drooping. Leaven 2-5 by ^-1 J in., dark green, shining, 

 hardly coriaceous, shortly acuminate, base acute rarely obtuse ; midrib prominent to the 

 middle ; veins thick, usually very oblique, J in. apart, reticulate ; petiole J-J in. 

 Male fl. in short axillary fascicles ; pedicels thickened towards the tip, often rtflexed. 

 Sepals with narrow membranous margins, outer J-^ in. long, inner larger. Petals 

 twice as long as the sepals, thinner, oblong, concave. Stamens 12-20 or more, adnate 

 to the receptacle into a mass with a prominent centre ; free part of filaments ^ in. long. 

 Mudimentary stigmas 3-4, very short or 0. Hermaph. fl. 1-3, terminal and axillary, 

 rather larger than the male ; pedicels J-J in. Stamens 10-20, filaments unequal, ^1 

 connate at the base or in unequal bundles. Stigmatic rayS 8-10-tubereled, free nearly 

 to the base, spreading. Fruit the size of a small apple, yellow or red, grooves 6-8, 

 ending about the middle ; top flat, depressed, mamilla thick. Seeds 6-8 ; aril succu- 

 lent. — Roxburgh's unpublished drawing (Herb. Calcutta and Kew) differs from that in 

 the Coromandel plants in the usually axillary female flowers, with few terminal ones, 

 and in the papillose scarcely divided stigma ; difierences of no specific value. Thwaites 

 (Enum.) states that this yields a yellow insoluble gum, hence valueless as a pigment, 

 but that the acid juice of the ripe fruit is used as a condiment. — [G. indica, Chois (DC. 

 Prodr. i. 561), founded on Thomas's Brindonia indica (Diet. Sc. Nat. v. 340), is pro- 

 bably this species, but having seen no specimens I do not quote it, See No. 4.]
