but he adopts Ktirz's name for the latter. The variety named abovo 
pubescent may turn out to be a distinct species. At present only fruit- 
ing specimens of it are known. This species is closely allied to G. 
Villei'siana, Pierre, a common , Cambodian plant. The leaves of the 
latter, as shown in Pierre's figure (FI. Forest Cochin-Chine, t. 21) have 
however more nerves ; the flowers have longer pedicels, and the staminal 
bundles are longer and more slender than in this species : the lobes of 
the disk are also narrower and longer. 
This is the Helferian plant referred to under G. Xanthochymits in 
Fl. Br. lud i, 2C>0, as allied to, but differing from that species. 
35. Garcinia densiflora, King, n. sp. A tree 60 to 80 feet high : 
young branches stout, 4-angled, brown when dry. Leaves thickly coriace- 
ous, broadly elliptic to elliptic-oblong, sub-acute or rather blunt, the base 
cnueato; both surfaces shining; the midrib stout: nerves 10 to 12 pairs, 
sub-horizontal, anastomising by arches '1 in. from the margin; length 4*5 
to 6 in., breadth 2*5 to 3-75 in. ; petiole '6 in., thick, deeply channelled. 
Male flowers *35 in. in diam., in large dense many-flowered clusters 1 to 
1*5 in. in diam., on bracteolate tubercles from the axils of the fallen 
leaves; buds globose ■ pedicels unequal, from '2 to "35 in. long : sepals 5, 
the 3 ouier smaller than the inner 2, orbicular, fleshy, concave, pubcrulous 
externally, the margins ciliolato ■ the inner 2 as large as tho petals, 
glabrous, tho margins ciliolate ; petals 5, fleshy, orbicular, concave, 
yellow ; stamens in 5 podicelled, fan-shaped branches of about 12 : fila- 
ments thick, fleshy ; anthers with 2 orbicular, sutu rally dehiscent, cells : 
Disk large, fleshy, much corrugated, with 5 radiating lobes which al- 
ternate with the staminal groups ; rudy. style cylmdric, corrugated ; the 
stigma oblong, smooth, small. Female jlnu'cr and fruit unknown.

A very distinct species collected only once. 
36. Garcin*a Prainiana, King n. sp. A small tree : young branches 
terete or compressed, not angled, pale yellowish. Leaves more or less 
broadly elliptic-oblong, narrowed to the rounded or slightly cordate 
base, shining on both surfaces; norves 12 to 15 pairs, spreading, inter- 
arching submarginally, rather prominent beneath when dry ; intermediate 
nerves prominent, bifurcating ; the midrib stout; length 4*5 to 9 in,, 
breadth 175 to 4 in. ; petiole '25 in., stout. Male flowers '4 in. in diam., 
in dense, 6 to 12-flowered, bracteate, terminal cymes; bracts numerous, 
lanceolate, fleshy, keeled ; pedicels thick, flat ; sepals 5, fleshy, concave, 
orbicular; petals 5, darker in colour than the sepals, fleshy, concave, 
sub-orbicular : stamens numerous, in a 5-lobed annulus round the globose 
rudimentary ovary, 2-celled, with sutural dehiscence. Female flowers 
unknown. Fruit (young 1*3 in diam. globular, pulpy, smooth, crowned
