2. Calophyllom Kunstleui, King-, n. sp. A tree 40 to 00 feet high, 
all parts glabrous except the buds, the 4-angled young branches, and the 
petioles and lower part of rachis of inflorescence with its bracts which 
are ferruginous-pubescent. Leaves thinly coriaceous, narrowly elliptic- 
oblong, the apex obtusely acuminate, tapering in the lower third to tho 
short stout petiole; both surfaces shining; the nerves very close together 
and like the midrib most distinct on the lower ; length 3*5 to 5 in., 
breadth 125 to 1*4 in., petiole *3 to *4 in. Flowers in solitary fascicles 
from the axils of the older or of fallen leaves, about 1*5 in. long, 3-4- 
flowered; bracts at base of pedicel 4, ovate, boat-shaped. Floivers '25 in, 
in diam,; the pedicels often very unequal, tho uppermost 1 in. and about 
twice as long as the lower. Sepals 4, the outer pair obovate-oblong, tho 
inner oblong, all obtuse. Petals 0. Fruit, (not ripe) ovoid or globular, 
glabrous ; pericarp thick, crustaceous.

A common species; varying a little as to tho amount of pubescence 
on the branchlots and buds, and in tho form of the fruit. Ripe fruit 
has not, however, yet been collected ; and it may prove than when ripe tho 
fruit is uniformly globular. The nervation is closer than in any other 
species that I have seen, and the surfaces of the leaves have a peculiarly 
lustrous sheen. 
3. Calofhyu,um PULCHKKTtiMtfM, Wall, Cat. 4848. A glabrous tree, 
20 to 60 feet high ; the young branches as thick as a crow quill, 4-angled. 
Leaves thinly coriaceous, ovate or obovate-lauoeolate, shortly and obtusely 
acuminate, much narrowed to the base; both surfaces shining; the edge a 
little thickened and undulate, the midrib stout ; length 1*75 to 2 5 in., 
breadth '8 to 1*2 in., petiole *3 in. Bacemes solitary, about half as long 
as Iht 1 leaves, from the axils of the older leaves, lax, spreading, 
few-flowered. Flowers "25 in. in diam. ; pedicels very slender, about 5 
in, long. Sepals broadly ovate, the inner pair slightly larger and more 
membranous. Ovary globose. Fruit ovoid with a very short beak, 
•65 in. long. Chois. Guttif. Ind. 14 ; Planch, and Triana Mem. Guttif,

Singapore. Malacca. Perak. Distrib. Coch in-China, 
Miquel's three species bancawum, plicipes and gracile are reduced to 
this in Hooker's Fl. Br. Ind. Miqael ascribes 4 petals to gracile, which 
would throw it into another section. Pierre (1. c.) expresses doubts as 
to bancattum and gracile falling bore, and considers O. plicipes as totally 
distinct both as to leaves and flowers. Of 0. mesuaefolium, (Wall. Cat. 
4^50,) only fragmentary specimens exist. In I he Fl. Br. Ind. it is re- 
duced here; but Planchon and Triana consider it quite different. 
Var. oblong if olium, T. Anderson (in Hook fil. Fl, Br. Ind. 1. o.) ; 
leaves oblong, tip rounded.
