This plant, first distinguished as a species by M. Pierre, seems 
to bo rather common in Penang and Perak, Ripe fruits are as yet un- 
known : those in Mr. Kunsfcler's specimens No. 35N3 (noted by him as 
unripo) measure 1*25 in. in diam. A fruit on ono of Scortcehini's 
specimens measures half an inch more. Mr. Kims tier notes the treo 
ns occurring at elevations of 300 up to 3,000 feet. The foregoing de- 
scription of the flower does not quite agree with that of M. Pierre, 
which was drawn up from specimens without female flowers and with 
buds only of the male flowers. 
14. Garcinia malaccknsis, Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. I, 261. A tree; 
the branch lets rather stout, 4-angled. Leaves brown when dry, elliptic, 
shortly and abruptly acuminate, the baso much narrowed, shilling above, 
the lower surface rather dull; midrib bold, prominent on both surfaces; 
ncrvos numorous, faint, sub-horizontal, connected by oblique secondary 
nerves ; length 4 to 8 in,, breadth 1*5 to 2*5 in.; petiole '4 to '6 in., 
channelled. Male flowers 1 in. in diam., in terminal fascicles of 4 to 6 ; 
pedicels '35 to *65 in. long. SepaU orbicular, concave, fleshy. Petals 
twice as long ns the nopals, dull red, broadly ovale, shortly clawed. 
Slameiis very numerous, densely imbricated in a suh-cylindric or conical 
truncate mass formed of the fleshy conjoined filaments ; anthers adnatc, 
broadly ovoid, 2-celled, the connective broad : stigma large, convex. 
Ovary abortive. Female flowers 1*5 to 2 in, in diam. terminal, solitary, 
red. Staminodes few or 0. Ovary globose, 8-celled ; stigma sessile, 
largo, convex, enveloping half the ovary, much corrugated and deeply 
8-lobod. Fruit unknown. Pierre Flore Forest. Coch.-Chiue, fasc. VI,

Malacca; Maingay (Kew Distrib. No. 140). Of this I have seen 
only Maingay's specimens. In its leaves, in the colour of its flowers, 
and in its 8-lobed stigma, this resembles G. mangostana. 
15. Gauoinia matxgayi, Hook. til. Fl. Br. Ind. I, 2G7. A tree 40 to 
00 feet high ; young branches thick, 4-angled, and dark-coloured when 
dry. Leaves oblong-elliptic, obtuse with short blunt apicnlus, the base 
narrowed; both surfaces shining, the lower pale brown when dry; 
nerves 9 to 13 pairs, bold, spreading, prominent beneath as is the midrib j 
length 4"5 to 7 in., breadth 2 25 to 3 25 in., petiole '70 in. Male flowers 
1 to 1*25 in. in diam., waxy white, in terminal or axillary, 3 to 6- 
fioworod, shortly peduncled umbels ; pedicels '25 to "5 in. long. Sepals
