This is very near O. Kydiana but diflVrs in tin- points noted under 
thai species. 
24, Garcinia Kydiana, Roxb. Fl. Ind. II, 623. A diceceous tree, 25 
to 40 feet high ; the branch lets dark-eo loured when dry, not angled. 
Leaves thinly coriaceous, lanceolate, acuminate, the base acute, both sur- 
faces shining; nerves thin but distinct when dry, rather few for this 
genus ; length 3 to 5 in., breadth 75 to 1 5 in. petiole "35 to '5 iu. Male 
flowers '75 in. in diam., in small axillary or terminal peduncnlate umbels 
of 3 to 5, or solitary ; pedicels "25 in. long ; peduncles of the umbels *4 to 
C in. Sepals 4, equal, ovate, obtuse, fleshy, yellow. Petals twice as 
large as the sepals, broadly ovate, blunt, pale yellow. Anthers numerous, 
iuserted into the slightly 4-lobcd fleshy mass of conjoined filaments, 
square, 4-celled (a cell at each angle) pistil 0. Female flowers axillary 
and terminal, solitary, sessile. StpaJs and petals as in the male ; stami- 
nodes 4, small, 3 or 4-fid. Ovary globular, sessile, 6" to 8-lobed ; stigma 
gub-sessile, with 6 to 8 spreading glandular rays. Fruit 1 to 1*5 in. in 
diam., smooth, yellow, globular, depressed, with 6 to 8 deep vertical 
grooves near the apex, and with a nipple-like protuberance from the 
depressed apex on which is inserted the persistent stigma. Seeds 6 to 
8, oblong, -iih in. long; thearillus soft, acid, juicy. Knrz For. Fl. LJnrm.

Andaman Islands. 
Of the true Roxbnrghian O. Kytliana, the only specimens thrd I 
have seen are from the Andamans. The Burmese specimens referred to 
this species by Pierre and others belong mostly to £?. Cowa as Roxburgh 
described and figured it. But the two species are very closely allied. 
The chief points that separate liydiana from Cowa are its larger flowers, 
the arrangement of the males in distinct pedunculate umbels, tho females 
always solitary and sessile; and, in the fruit, the curious nipple rising 
from the depressed apex, and the restriction of the vertical grooves to 
the neighbourhood of the apex. In the Flora of Br. India the two are 
united under O. Cowa. Griffith's Nos. 805 and 867, referred to Kydiana 
by Pierre, belong in my opinion to O. niyro-liueata, Planch. 
25. Garcinia nioro-lixeata, Planch. MSS. A tree 20 to 50 feet 
high j young branches not angled, their bark rather dark. Leaves thinly 
coriaceous, lanceolate and acuminate, or ovate-lanceolate and shortly 
caudate-acuminate, the base acute j both surfaces shining, the lower 
ferruginous in some stages ; midrib rather stout ; main nerves rather 
distinct when dry, about '1 to *15 iu. apart, the intermediate nerves 
almost as prominent; length 3 to 4*5 in., breadth 1 to 15 in., petiole
