30. Cr. Andersonl, Hooh.f. ; leaves very large 1-2 ft. oblong thickly 

 coriaceous subacute rounded or cordate at the base, nerves numerous strong, 

 flowers large, fascicled, pedicels very stout long, sepals pubescent.

 (Kew distrib. 157, G. macrophylla, T. A^id. ms.) 



BrancUets as thick as the middle finger, acutely 4-aiigled, almost winged when dry 

 green. Leaves by far the largest of the genus, often 2 ft. by 9 in., very rariable in 

 breadth, nerves very numerous and prominent, meeting in a strong intramarginal one, 

 interspaces reticulate ; petiole 1-2 in., very, stout. Male fl. unknown. Fem. fl. | in. 

 diitm., in axillary many-flowered fascicles ; pedicels very stout, 2 in., seated on a sub- 

 globose axillary cushion. Sepals 5, intricate, leathery, orbicular, concave, two outer 

 smaller, all minutely pubescent at the back. Petals three times as large as the sepals, 

 orbicular, concave, contorted in bud. DisTc very large, of 5 thick fleshy pitted fiiliate 

 glands, between each of which is a minute staminode with about 5 imperfect anthers. 

 Ovary globose, narrowed into a distinct style, 4^5-celled ; stigma cleft to the base into 

 4-5 linear-oblong obtuse rays. " Fruit very large, pomiform, crowned by the stigma, 

 normally 5-celled," Maingay, — This species was incompletely, characterized by Dr. 

 Anderson from GrifEth's specimens under the mss. name of Garcinia f ma(yrophylla ; I 

 have now redescribed it from Maingay's more complete specimens, and in so doing given 

 the name of my late friend the monographer of the Indian Guttiferse to what is certainly 

 by far the noblest species of the genus. Griffith in his notes attached to the specimen, 

 describes the perianth as 4-merous, but I find it is always 5-merouB. — J. D. H.
