Borxeo, Lobb 1853 in Herb. Kew. " Tree 30 feet, 

 yellow/' 



This species is allied to F. Wallichii of Penang Hill, 

 differing in the more coriaceous lanceolate cordate leaves, and 

 extremely slender peduncles and pedicels, cylindric corolla 

 tube'and shorter stamens. It would probably be best to keep 

 up the genus Cyrtophyllum for the Tembusu trees, which differ 

 so much from the epiphytic true Fagraeas with their fleshy 

 leaves and flowers, and included stamens, from the tall trees 

 with their leaves and flowers and long projecting stamens. 

 The genus Cyrtophyllum would thus contain C. fragrans, 

 Malay Peninsula to S. Siam and Cambodia, ('. giganteum, 

 Malay Peninsula and Sumatra, 0. Wallichii, Penang, ('. cau- 

 datum, Sumatra and Borneo, C. speciosum, Bl., Java and 

 Borneo. This however, has much smaller flowers and thicker 

 leaves. 



Fagraea gigantea, Ridl. F. spec'wsa, Ridl. Journ. Row As. Soc. 

 S. Br. 50, p. 122 not of Blume. 



Since writing my account of the Tembusu Fagraeas in 

 Journ. Roy. As. Soc. Str. Br. vol. 50, I have seen at Kew 

 specimens of the true F. speciosa, Bl. agreeing entirely with 

 Blume's figure in Rumphia. It is quite a different plant from 

 our Tembusu tembaga which is confined to the Malay Penin- 

 sula and Sumatra. This plant is unnamed, and I therefore 

 give it the name of Fagraea gigantea on account of the gTeat 

 size to which it attains. It is fully described in the Journal 

 at the page quoted. 



Gaertnera acuminata, Benth. Journ. Linn. Soc. i p. 112 was 

 based on a plant collected by Wallich in Singapore (Xo. 8342). 

 It was reduced to a variety of Koenigii of Ceylon, a much 

 larger plant, with large leaves and flowers, by Clarke and 

 following him by King and Gamble. It is obviously a dif- - 

 ferent plant and I retain the name acuminata for it. Wallich 

 also (8374) got a somewhat different looking plant narrower 

 leaves in Singapore which he called Psyclwtria o.vypliylla, Ben- 

 tham separated this also into a distinct species G. oxyphylla.
