10. A small glabrous tree -witli pale smooth Ibark. Leaflets sessile, or 

 nearly so, sub-coriaceous, obliquely elongate ob-lanceolate, tlio middle 

 one narrower tban the outer, rather bluntly acuminate, the base much 

 narrowed ; upper sui-f ace shining, lower pale dull with the midrib and 

 nerves prominent ; length 4 to 5 in., breadth 1'75 in. to '2'25. Flowers 

 hermaphrodite, in terminal corymbose racemes, 2 to 3 in. in diam. 

 Petals obovate, obtuse, unguiculate. t^laniens 10 to 15, longer than the 

 petals ; anthers small, lanceolate, obtiisa. Ovary ovoid, glabrous, the 

 gynophore as long as the filaments ; stigma sessile, discoid ; placentas 2, 

 parietal, multiovulato. Uipe fruit on a stout lenticellate carpophore 

 3 inches long, ovoid, smooth, purple spotted with grey, 2'5 in or more 

 long by 2 in. in diam. jSeeds embedded in piilp., compressed ovoid- 

 reuiform, smooth on the sides, shortly tuberoulate along the edge, nearly 

 •6 in. long by 'SS in. bi-oad.

A species distinguished by its sessile leaflets and flat ovate-rcniform 

 tubercle-edged seeds. Kurz's figure of the seeds is bad ; as he confes- 

 sedly worked with imperfect material in describing this plant. I have 

 seen no authentic specimens of G. magna, DO, or 0. niemhmnifulia, 

 (Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. Suppl. 387) but, judging from the descriptions, they 

 probably refer to this plant ; in which case the older name (magua) 

 would stand. 



2. 0. HYGROPuiLA, Kurz J. A. S. B. Part II, 1872 p. 292; 

 Journ. Bot. 1874, 196 tab. 148, figs. G, 7. A small glabrous tree, 

 with pale striate lenticellate bark ; the j'oungest branches dai'k-coloured. 

 Leaflets membranous, very shortly petiolulate, obliquely lanceolate, acumi- 

 nate at both base and apex, the lower surface glaucescent ; nerves about 

 6 pairs, sub-horizontal ; length 3 to 4'5 in., breadth 1 to 1'25 in., petiole 

 •1 in. Fruit asiHavy, solitary or in fascicles of 2 or 3, cylindric, the 

 apex with a blunt beak when ripe, brownish, spotted with grey, 4 to 6 ia. 

 long and 1'5 in. or more in diam. ; the carpophore and pedicel each about 

 2 in. long, dark-coloured and faintly lenticellate. Seeds embedded in 

 pulp., "5 in. in diam., compressed but not flat, reniform, shortly muricato 

 over the greater part of the surface. 



Trang ; King's Collector No. 1412. Distrib. Burmah. 



Kurz founded this species on specimens from Burmah (in young 

 fruit) which are now in the Calcutta Herbarium. The Malayan sjioci- 

 mens (in mature fruit) agree with these. Kurz's drawing of the seed is 

 misleading. For it was made from a young seed which had neither 

 acquired its full size, nor its characteristic tubercles. Flowers of tliis 

 species arc aa yet uukuowu ; but the ripe fruit shows that they cannot
