80 Botany of the Tenasserim Provinces. 



gamia, in which the perigynous disc is divided into ten dis- 

 tinct glands. The pollen of Inga mimosa and entada I find 

 to be composed of twelve granules, four of which form, as it 

 were, a nucleus for the remaining eight. 



Several Connaracese occur, belonging chiefly to the genus 

 Cnestis. Eurycoma, Jack, is abundant ; it is a genuine Con- 

 naracea with pendulous seeds. The ovula are however erect, 

 but the subsequent change in situation of the seeds is due 

 to an unequal growth of the ovarium. 



Anacardiacece are represented by the usually cultivated 

 genera, Mangifera and Anacardium, of the former genus 

 M. oppositifolia, the Mariam of the Burmans, is not a consti- 

 tuent, as has been mentioned by Messrs. Wight and Arnott.* 

 A species apparently M. sylvatica, Roxburgh, is likewise met 

 with. In addition to these genera, Melanorrhsea, Syndesmis, 

 and a new genus nearly allied to the former occur. This I 

 propose to call Swintonia.
