in., petiole 5 in. Male jh>w<us about 1 in. in dtani , terminal, in fascicles 
of 3 to 6, pedicels *2 to 4 in. Sepals thinly coriaceous, concave, the 
outer pair orbicular ; the inner ovate-oblong', blunt. FetaU ovate-orbi- 
cular, twice as long as the sepals. Stamens numerous ; tho filaments united 
in a fte»ny, slightly 4-lobed, annulus on which the broad, oblong, vertically 
dehiscing anthers are inserted; rudimentary stigma slightly protruding 
above the mass of stamens, flat, 8-lobed. Female flower terminal, soli- 
tary, with sepals and petals liko the male ; staminodes absent. Ovary 
globose ; the stigma large, convex, reenrved at the edge when young, 
when adult with 8 shallow crenatious. Fruit sab-globular, not mam- 
inillate, about 1 in. in diam. ; the pericarp rather thin, sub-crustaeoous ; 
sepals persistent. Seeds about 6, oblong, with soft jnicy arillus.

This species, which has been established by M, Pierre, comes (as 
his own description and figures show) very near to O. cornea, Linn. It 
differs chiefly from cornea by its broader leaves, stouter branchlets and 
8-lobcd stigma. Curtis's Penang specimen No. 690, probably belongs 
to this species. 
11. Gahcinia manoostana, Linn. A glabrous tree 20 to 30 feet 
high ; young branches cylindric, slightly grooved, the bark smooth, 
green. Leaves thickly coriaceous ; shining on both surfaces, elliptic- 
oblong, acute or shortly acuminate, the base cuneate; nerves sub- 
horizontal, numerous, interarchiug with a double iutra-marginal nerve, 
rather prominent beneath when dry • length 6 to 10 in., breadth 2 5 to 
4 *25 in,, petiolo *75 to 1 in. Male jlowers 1*5 in. in diam., in terminal 
fascicles of 3 to 0 ; pedicels "5 to '75 in., with several orbicular, concave, 
scarions bracts. SepaU 4, unequal, coriaceous, rotund, concave. Petals 
4, larger than tho sepals, ovate, fleshy, yellowish tinged with greenish red. 
Stamens indefinite, in a 4-lobed mass ; filaments short : anthers oblong, 
ovate, rocurved, dehiscence longitudinal. Pistil 0. Disk fleshy, as long 
as the stamens, its apex conical. Hermaphrodite Jlowers 2 in. in diam., 
solitary or in pairs at the apices of the young branches, and usually on 
different trees from the male flowers ; pedicel '5 in. long, stout, woody. 
Calyx and corolla as in the male, but larger. Stamens many ; filaments 
slender, connate below ; anthers irregular and mostly abortive. Ovary 
globular, 4 to 8-celIed ; stigma sessile, 8-rayed ; ovules solitary. Fruit 
as large as a small orange, smooth, dark purplish brown ; pericarp 
thick; seeds oblong, flattened, with large white jnicy arillus. Bl.
