In leaf characters this comes near to the Suniatran X, vitellinum, 
Bl lime : but the two differ in flower and fruit. 
17. Xantuophtllum affine, Korth. in Miq. Ann. Lugd. Bat. I, 
271. A Bhrnbor tree; young branches glabrous, pale brown. Leaves 
thinly coriaceous (drying of a more or less yellowish pale green, especial- 
ly beneath), elliptic to oblong-lanceolate, shortly and bluntly acuminate, 
tho base enneate j upper Buvface smooth, shining, lower dull palo and 
yellowish ; main nerves 5 to 8 pairs, ascending, prominent beneath ; 
length 4 to 7 in., breadth 1*8 to 2 5 in., petiole 3 to *4 in. Flowers 
•35 in. long, the pedicels nearly as long. Panicles axillary or 
terminal, few-branched, minutely tomeutose, the axillary half as 
long, the terminal as long as, the leaves. Sepals un-equal, ovate- 
rotund to rotund, blunt, tomentoso externally. Petals oblong, ob- 
tuse, pubescent near tho base or wholly glabrous, the keel al- 
ways pubescent, Filaments flat, pnberulous. Ovary shortly stipitate, 
glabrous, from 8 to 14-ovuled. Style Rhort, flat, pubescent. Disc 
annular, fleshy, glabrous, often wavy. Fruit globose, "5 to 1-25 in. in 
diam.. smooth ; pericarp thin, erustaceous. Hook. fil. El. Br. Ind. I, 209, 
In all the provinces ; common. Distrib. Malayan Archipelago 
generally. Tenasserim. 
This occurs as a bush and also as a tree. It varies a little as to 
colour and shape of leaves, and as to the pubescence on the petals. But, 
when its commonness is considcrerd, its characters are really remarkably 
constant, that of the size of the individual alone excepted. 
18. Xanthophyllum bullatum, King, n. sp. A shrub or small trco 
with large, sub-sessile leaves; young branches robust, pale, pubernlons, 
lenticellate. Leaves coriaceous, drying a pale greenish-yellow, elliptic- 
oblong, sub-obovate, shortly and bluntly acuminate, the edges sub- 
recurved ; slightly narrowed to the cordate, sub-auriculate, slightly 
unequal base ; bnllatc, especially in the lower half, shining and glabrous on 
both surfaces, the lower a little paler; main nerves 18 to 25, bold on 
lower surface and sometimes pubcrulous as in the strong midrib ; length 
11 to IS in., breadth 4 to G"5 in.; petiole '25 in., very stout, glandular. 
Flwers i in. long, the pedicels twice as long as tho calyx. Panicles ter- 
minal, many-branched, spreading, pubescent ; bracts deciduous, ov;ife. 
Sepals unequal, rotund, fleshy, concave, tomeutose, tho edges of tho 
inner two thin and ciliate. Petals ovate-rotund, glabrous, not much 
larger than the sepals. Filaments flat, fleshy, glabrous. Ovary glabrous, 
ovoid, 8-ovulcd, surrounded by a glabrous fleshy annular wavy disc ; 
style glabrous ; stigma conical, pubescent. Fruit globose, glabrous 
75 in. in diam. (? ripe;) pericarp thick, cmstaccms.
