^^•] XL. iLiciNE^. (J. D. Hooker.) 605 



A tree about 15 it high {Maingay). Branches stout, bark grey; shoots quite jrla- 

 \^o^i Leaves ngid, hght brown when dry, shining above, paler beneath, with about 

 6-8 rather distant prominent ascending nerves, sparingly reticulated: petiole short 

 stent, i- J in O/mes more or less efiFuse, with short subsoorpioid many-flowered 

 branches; peduncles i-| m., rather slender, glabrous or minutely puberulous; pedicels 

 as short as the flowers, sometimes umbellulate. Oalyx-lohes orbicular. Petals 

 broadly oblong, obtuse, rather shorter than the stamens ; of the g 4-6, united at the 

 base, of ? often 6, unequal and free. Stamens inserted on the corolla in the S hyp»- 

 gynous m the ? . Drupe of two forms ; one perfect, globose, i in. diam., with a sessile 

 stigma and 6-8 much compressed acutely 3-gonous stones; the other (imperfect) 

 smaller, with a distinct but very short style and empty cells.— The Tenasserim speci- 

 mens doubtfully referred to this species have smaller very coriaceous leaves 2-3 in 

 with more narrowed bases and tips, and glabrous cymes. A specimen of apparently 

 the same plant is amongst Maingay's Malacca collections, its fruit is unknown. 



21. X. niaingrayi, Hook./.; quite glabrous, leaves 4r-5 in. elliptic or 

 narrowly eUiptic-oblong obtusely acuminate very coriaceous rather glaucous 

 beneath, nerves nearly horizontal, flowers subumbellate in stout much 

 branched cymes 4-6-merous, drupe a in. diam. with 6 stones, style distinct. 



Penang, Maingay (Kew distrib. 1021). 



A tree about the size of a Guava {Maingay) ; branches woody, bark dark grey, shoots 

 quite glabrous. Leaves very coriaceuus, dai'k brown opaque and subglaucous beneath 

 when dry, blacker brown and shining above, midrib stout, narrowed into a stout petiole 

 i-J in. Oymes almost racemose, 1-2 in. long, peduncle and pedicel stout quite gla- 

 koas, black when dry. Flowers crowded on very short stout pedicels, ^ in. diam. • 

 ? cymes very Short judging from the fruit. Calyx-lobes orbicular, not ciliate. Petals 

 rather coriaceous, broadly oblong, in the 3 4, rather shorter than the stout filaments ; in 

 the ¥ 6, inserted below the ovary free. Stamens inserted on the corolla in the 3 , hypo'gy- 

 nous in the $ . Drupes on stout pedicels shorter than theipselves, subtended by the 6- 

 lobed calyx, rather longer than broad ; pulp very scanty; stones trigonous, thickly coria- 

 ceous ; stigma tumid, subsessile. — Near I. macrqphylla, but the nerves of the leaf are 

 more numerous and almost horizontal. 



22. I. cymosa, Blume By dr. 1149; branches with white bark, 

 leaves 3-5 in. elliptic or eUiptic-oblong obtuse or obtusely acuminate rather 

 membranous, nerves beneath very slender, iiowers in lax open cymes 

 4-8-merous, drupe ^ in. diam. with about 8 trigonous stones, style stout 

 distinct. I. singapuriana. Wall. Cat. 6526. Prinos cymosa, Hassk.

Eastern Penimsula ; from Tenasserim to Malacca, common. — Disteib. Sumatra 

 Java, Borneo. 

 ■ A small tree ; quite glabrous ; bark of branches snow-white, with the epidermis 

 flaking ofiF. Leaves usually membranous, variable in shape ; nerves few or many 

 spreading, very slender, sometimes quite faint, palelbrovra when dry, shining above 

 narrowed into a rather stout petiole J-^ in. long. Flowers rV.iu. diam., in small cymes 

 or irregular umbellules which are collected into a spreading cymosa long-peduncled 

 panicle; peduncle J-IJ in. ; pedicels slender i in. ; S 4-,')-merous, with equal oblong 

 obtuse spreading petals ; ? with a 5-meroUs calyx and 6-8 unequal small erect concave 

 petals. Calyx-lobes orbicular. Drupe J in. diam., rather longer than broad, grooved 

 when dry, with very little flesh, and usually 8 trigonous compressed stones ; stigma on 

 an evident stout short style. — The white bark is very conspicuous in this plant, which 

 has a more open panicled cyme and longer style than any of its Indian congeners. 



23. I. Wallichii, nooh. f. ; branches with white bark, leaves 4-5 in. 

 elliptic or elliptic-ovate obtuse quite entire thinly coriaceous, drupe ^ in. 

 diam. with about 12 compressed stones, stigma sessile. IHcinea?, Wall.
