3. Mangipera sclebophtlla, Hook. fil. Fl. Bi\ Ind. II, 15. A 
tree ; young branches stout, angled, glabrous. Leaves very ooiiaceotis, 
bioiidly elliptic, slightly obovate, the apex usually sab-acuttJ bnt some- 
times acute, slightly naiTowed to tbe ronuded or aub-cuneate base 
bofcli surfdces glabrous, the roliculations obscure, fclse midrib thick ; mnin 
nerves about 12 pairs, thick, spresiding, much curved upwards at th© 
ends, slightly prominent on both surfaces when dry ; length 2*5 to 5 in., 
breadth 1*5 Jo 2*75 in. ; petioles of the upper leaves. '25 in,, of the lower 
*75 in., all stout. Injlorescence consisting of a terminal fascicle of many 
spikes, some of them with 1 or 2 branches, longer than the leaves, covered 
with short coarse tawny pubescence. Flmtfers 'I in. in diara,, each ses- 
sile in the axil of a reflexed ovate concave pubescent bractoole longer

rous. Stamen 1 ; disc fleshy, ovaiy ovoid. Drupe ovoid, glabroQS, about

This is another species that is poorly represented in collections* 
The leaves are, as Sir Joseph Hooker justly remarks, unlike those of any 
other Mangifera ; for they are corapnnU ively broad in pi-opoi'tion to their 
length. They vary considerably in siz^ and in th© length of their 
petioles,

glabrous in all its parts. Leaves coiiaceous, elliptic-oblong, acute 
or acuminate, the base rounded or cuneate ; reticulations on the upper 
surface not visible and on the lower very slightly so ; main nerves 15 
to 20 paira, faint, spreading, curving very little j length 4 to 9 in., 
breadth 1*5 to 3"5 in. ; petiole "8 to 2 in. Faniclo quite glabrous, 
pale green (when dry], pymmidal, equal to or rather exceeding the 
leaves ; the branches spreading, rather slender. Fiowers '2 in. in diam.
