126 AN ACCOUNT OF A BOTANICAL EXPEDITION 



A. oxyphylla, Wall. A small tree, the leaves with fewer nerves 



than usual. In fruit only. Setul near Batu Bunga. 



(14931.) 

 A pendula, Mez. Perlis on Bukit Lagi, Kanga. In fruit 



(14935). I have collected this also in Temerloh, Pahang. 



and have it from Panchur in Malacca. It seems to be 



a rare plant here. 



Distrib. Java and Sumatra. 

 A. crenata, Eoxb. Setul on the sandy heaths, a stunted 



form, (14934) Lankawi (Aniff ). Distrib. Assam, Burmah, 



Malaya, China, and Japan. 

 A. solanacea Roxb. Lankawi, Kwah (Curtis). 



Distrib. India, Burmah, and Malay peninsula. 

 A. villosa, Roxb. Trang at Chong (Native) 



Distrib. Malay peninsula, (common) Archipelago, 



Tonkin, and Hainan. 

 Aegiceras majus, Gaertn. Setul. Distrib. Indo-Malaya to 



Australia. 



Sapotace^:. 



Sideroxylon ferriigineum, Hook. fil. Lankawi (Curtis), Setul 

 heath (14924). 



Distrib. Burmah, Andamans, and Nicobars, the 

 Malay peninsula and islands to the Philippines and 

 South China. Usually near the sea. 



Payena Leerii, Benth. and Hook. Lankawi by the lake 

 (Ridley 8329). Distrib. Malay peninsula and islands. 



Palaquium Clarkeanum, Hook. fil. Lankawi, Gunong Raya by 

 the Sungei Batu Asap stream at 2000 feet alt. Getah 

 menjatoh (Aniff). 



The scantiness of Sapotacece seems remarkable but 

 they appear to be almost as rare in the Tenasserim and 

 Mergui districts, though very abundant in the Western 

 peninsula of India and the Malay peninsula.
