7. Calophtllum amoenum, Wall. Cat. 4849. A tree 20 to 40 feet 

 high ; the apices of the youngest branches, the buds, the leafqietioles, 

 and the rachides of the racemes minutely ferruginous or griseous-pubes- 

 cent. Leaves thinly coriaceous, lanceolate or oblong-lanceolate, rarely 

 ovate-lanceolate or obovate-elliptic, acute or very shortly and obtusely 

 acuminate, the base cuneate ; nerves very close, about equally prominent 

 on both surfaces ; length 2 - 5 to 3'5 in., breadth 1 to 1'5 in., petiole - 4 in. 

 Racemes stout, sub-erect, shorter than the leaves, few-flowered. Flowers 

 "25 in. in diam., pedicels - 2 in. Sepals reflexed, the outer pair oblong, 

 ferruginous-tomentose externally : the inner pair longer, sub-glabrous. 

 Fruit globose or sub-ovoid, "3 in. long, the pericarp pulpy. Choisy

None of the Andaman specimens which I have seen are in fruit ; 

 and none of the Burmese are in flower. But in leaf and other characters 

 the specimens are alike. The species seems to me a good one and to be 

 distinct from 0. retusum, Wall., with which it has however been united 

 in Fl. Br. Ind., and this is also the opinion of Planchon and Triana. 



8. Calophyllum retusum, Wall. Cat. 4846. A much-branched, very 

 leafy shrub ; the young branches 4-angled, softly ferruginous-pubescent, 

 as are the petioles and inflorescence. Leaves coriaceous, ovate to ovate- 

 elliptic, obtuse, the base rounded or slightly narrowed ; nerves rather dis- 

 tant for the genus, more visible on the upper than on the lower surface ; 

 length 1*75 to 2'25 in., breadth - 8 to 11 in.; petiole - 2 in. stout, pubescent, 

 when old glabrous. Racemes solitary, axillary, sub-erect, ferruginous- 

 pubescent, especially at the base, 1 in. long. Flowers 25 in. in diam., 

 pedicels "2 in. Sepals ; the outer obovate, clawed ; the inner ovate-oblong. 

 Fruit pisiform. Pierre Fl. Coch. -Chine, t. 102 ; G. pisiferum, Planch,
