THE HEllBAllIUM AMBOINENSE.

Maturum fructum non vidi : immaturus siicci flavi pauxillo 
tantum praeditus. 
Very nearly allied to the above is another tree, which I 
have seen at Goyalpara, which the natives call Sopsopiya, 
and which has a fruit that is not very bad for eating. Of 
this also I shall here give some account, although I have 
not seen the flower. 
Oxycarpus ? Sopsopia foliis ellipticis obtusis, baccis oblongis 
4 seu 5 locularibus, pedunculis multifloris. 
Sopsopiya Bengalensium. 
Habitat in Camrupae sylvis. 
Arbuscula raraulis glabris, compressis. Folia elliptica utrin- 
que obtusiuscula, costata, venosa, glabra, acida cum amaritu- 
dine quadam. Petiolus teres^ marginatus, brevissimus, estipu- 
laceus. 
PeduRCuli terminaleSj gemini, tetragoni, articulati baccas ge- 
runt tres vel quatuor cum aliomm rudimentis, unde forte 
floras sunt duorum parium lateralium cum quinto terminali. 
Bacca Itevis, fructus juglandis magnitudine oblongiuscula, 
stigmata peltato orbiculato cranato coronata, calyca minimo ta- 
traphyllo insidens. Foliola obtusa alternis rainoribus. Cortex 
in fructu maturo tenuis, intus ramantaceus, membranaceus ; in 
immature succo flavo turgidus, coriaceus. Loculi 4 sau 5 pulpo 
sapido farcti, dissepimantis intarjacentibus tanuissimis ramanta- 
cais. Raceptacula nulla. Samina solitaria, oblonga, coraprassa, 
hinc obtusa, inde angustiora, sinu hinc extramitatam versus 
crassioram axcavata. Intagumantum duplex: axterius mam- 
branulis intertaxtis pulpo raplatis farctum ; interius tanue, se- 
mini adhaerans. Saminis substantia alba, carnosa, firma, in qua 
nullam farruminationam, embryonem, radiculam, neque aliara 
uUam partium divisionam parspicare possum. 
Arbor Mundo dicta, p. 135. 
Rumphius, in the text, considers the Mundo as the same 
with, or at least very nearly allied to, the Panitsjica of the 
Hortus Malabaricus (iii. 45), which Burman in his obser- 
vation on the Mangostana (p. 134 ad initium) considers 
very nearly allied to that tree, and the same with the Man-
