G. pleiOStig'ma, F.v.M.; Fragm. viii. 4. 7. This is a dioecious 
tree attainiog the height o£ 40 or 50 feet ; the trunk seldom exceeds 
8 or 10 in. in diameter, and being very light, straight, and of con- 
siderable toughness, is frequently used for rough fencing, &c. The 
bark yields good fibre ; the leaves are large, often measuring 9 in. 
long and 5 in. broad. 
The wood of tliis tree, on account of its elasticity and tougliness, may in a few 
years be in demand for the manufacture of oars, shafts, and other purposes where 
strength and elasticity are required, for which many other species of this genus are 
found valuable in India.

M. ChOOreechillum, n. sp. (Aboriginal name for Bartle Frere.) 
A large shrub or small tree, glabrous, branches thick. Leaves 
opposite, of unequal size in each pair ; petioles 1 to 2^ in. long, sulcate 
on the upper side ; leaflets 3, obovate, tapering from a broad emar- 
ginate end to the top of the petiole, li to 3 in. long, f to li in. broad, 
of a thick cartilaginous or coriaceous texture ; veins faint in the fresh 
leaf, but prominent in the dried specimens, the primary ones anas- 
tomosing far within the margin, the under surface closely covered 
with small dots (oil-dots). Flowers in short trichotomous panicles, 
length of the petioles, pedicellate ; sepals 4, obtuse, minute ; petals 4, 
about 4 lines long, linear, white, thick, the apex incurved ; stamens 8 ; 
filaments broad at the base, very nearly glabrous ; anthers oblong- 
rotund ; disk a yellow ring ; ovary glabrous, 4-celled ; style hairy on 
the lower half ; stigma shortly 4-lobed.
