Ebenace^e. 



Maha olivacea, King and Gamble. Lankawi (Curtis).

 M. buxifolia Pers. Lankawi, Kwah, (Curtis) 2557. var, with 

 larger leaves, Perlis, Kanga (14914) 



Distrib. Tropical Africa and Indo-Malaya. 



Diospyros clavigera, Clarke. Lankawi at Kwah. (Curtis, 

 3418, Ridley) Kedah on Bukit Pinang at Alor Sta (14923). 

 A narrower leaved form. Perlis common at Kanga. A 

 plant found at Chupeng (14922), differed in its much 

 larger leaves, pubescent on the back. The lobes of the 

 calyx were three or four on different parts of the same 

 plant. I doubt if Maba merguensis Hiern is a different 

 plant. Native name " Komoi." 

 Distrib. Malay peninsula. 



D. dumosa, King and Gamble. Tonka, Gunong Toxai (Curtis). 

 Distrib. Perak. 



D. Curtisii, King and Gamble. Perlis, Tebing Tinggi (14916). 

 (The specimens are in young flower) but I think they are 

 this species; Pungah (Curtis 2942), Endemic. 



D. oblonga, Wall. Lankawi, Kwah (Curtis). Distrib. Malay 

 peninsula 



D. Wallichii, King and Gamble. Lankawi (Ridley, Curtis).

 Perlis, Kanga (14920-14915), Tebing Tinggi (14917), 

 very common in the ricefields and woods. Distrib. 

 Malacca, Tenasserim. 



D. sapotoides, Kurz. Lankawi, Kwah, and near the lake 

 (Curtis; 3783, 2595) 



All the specimens are female and this sex is but 

 poorly described. I believe this is the plant intended by 

 Kurz.
