COMMENTAllY ON 
these plants ; for the leaves are described by Riuiiphius as 
very acute, " folia longiora, magisque acuminata while 
those of the Iripa are blunt, " oblongo-rotunda and, in 
the figure, appear as if even retuse. In Ava T found a 
tree called Mraen-ga, which agreed with the specific cha- 
racter of the Cynometra ramiflora, as given by Linnaeus ; 
but I did not compare it with the figures and descriptions 
of the two great Indian botanists. Specimens, however, 
were transmitted to Sir Joseph Banks, and may serve to 
throw more light on the subject.

Sandoricum domesticum, p. 167, t. 64. 
The Compiler of the Encyclopedic (iii. 69), copied by 
Willdenow (Sp. PL ii. 556), quoted this, with doubt, as 
being the same with the Hantol of Camelli and Ray, which 
the French botanist called Sandoricum indicum; but it 
must be observed, that the figure of Rumphius represents 
the flower without any thing like the cylindrical nectarium, 
which in the Hantol supports the antherse. No great stress 
can, however, be laid on this circumstance, 
Sandoricum silvestre, p. 168. 
Whether this is a distinct species from the preceding, or 
whether it is merely the plant in an uncultivated state, I 
cannot take upon myself to determine, although I think 
that I have seen the plant in Pegu ; but unfortunately, 
like the specimen of the Sandoricum indicum, which the 
French botanist procured, the trees which I found were in 
fruit. In the language of Ava it is called Sit-to, and spe- 
cimens were sent to Sir Joseph Banks. At the time I con- 
sidered it as nearly aUied to the Cratgeva tapia, which, with
