This is not unlike X. Grijfithii in its leaves : but it differs in its 
glabrous ovary and fruit. 
2. Xanthophtllum Grifpithii, Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. I, 210. A 
tree 40 to 50 feet high ; glabrous, except the inflorescence and young 
fruit. Branchlets robust, dark brown, polished, terete. Leaves coria- 
ceous, elliptic-lanceolate or lancoolate, acuto or acuminate, the edges 
slightly revolute, the base acuto; upper surface dark (when dry) and

pairs of main nerves distinct ; length 3 to 5 in., breadth 1 to 1*5 in., 
petiole thick, dark-coloured, *35 in. long. Flowers about -35 in. long, in 
tomentose axillary racemes shorter than the leaves, or in terminal few- 
branched pauicles s pedicels abort, stout. Sepals broadly ovate, blunt, 
dark brown, tomentose externally. Petals oblong, blunt, glabrous except 
the pubescent keel. Lower half of filaments thickened, hairy. Ovary 
sessile, tomentose, with 4 ovules from its base. Style cylindric, sparsely

this is unknown.

ed, the rachises tawny- tomentose, 2 to 3 in. long ; flowers white, '35 in. 
long. Sepals rhomboid, unequal, pubescent. Petals much longer than 
the sepals, spreading, glabrous except the pubescent keel, Fihunmfs 
much curved, with a hairy thickening above tho base. Ovary shortly 
stipitate, ovoid, ridged, tawny- tomentose ; ovules 4, parietal. Fruit 
globose, -5 in. in diam., minutely tomentose j pericarp moderately thick, 
puckering when dry.
