All tho Provinces, on the coasts. Distrib. Malayan Archipelago 
and coasts of tlie tropics of the old world generally, and of Australia. 
The plant originally issued by Wallich as Trochetia contracta (Cat. 
No. 1162) aud afterwards named by him Heritiera macropJiylla, (Pierre 
1. c. t. 204) has by some writers been reduced to H. littoralis. But 
Wallich's species was originally funud in the interior of Burmah, and it 
has since been found in Cachar, far from the sea coast to which if. 
littoralis is strictly confined. H. macrophylla has moreover leaf-petioles 
more than twice as long as those of If. littoralis, and its fruit is war ted 
and not smooth. I believe H. macrophylla to be a perfectly distinct 
species ; as is also, in my opinion, the other Sylhet and Khasia small- 
leaved plant which Wallich issued as H. acuminata. (Cat. No. 7836.)
