Concevniiig tlie species, Sir Joseph Hoitker remarks in a note (L c. 
18) as follows: — This in fidiago approaches very closely BInme'a 
M. 7iuicrocarpa of Java, which lias still narrower leaves with criuiped 
edges, 40 pair-s of nerves, and a bitter-sweet fruit as large aa a child's 
be«d. Dr. Engler believes fhafc this is fl, macromrpa Blame and (Afon. 
Phan. IV, *2U) reduces it to that species. The very lonj narrow eriaped- 
edged leaves and large fruit distinguish it.

The description of the fruit above given was taken by Sir Josepli 
Hooker fi-om Maingay's notes, and has been by me copied from the 
Flom of British India. Concerning the fruit Sir Joseph has the follow- 
ing note on Griffith's account of it which I quote verbatim from Fl. 
Br. Ind. II, '18. " Called Lanjoot by the Malays, according to Maingay 
and Griffith. The latter describes tbe drupe ai smooth, glaucescent.
