species. 
DILLENIACEAE 
TETRACERA Linnaeus 
TETRACERA AKARA (Burm. f.) comb. nov. 
Calophyllum akara Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 121. “Habitat in India.” 
Tetracera laevis Vahl Symb. 3 (1794) 71. 
Burman’s species is typified by Akara patsjoti Rheede Hort. 
Malabar. 5 : 15 t. 8, this being an excellent illustration of the 
species commonly known as Tetracera laevis Vahl. 
GUTTIFERAE 
CALOPHYLLUM Linnaeus 
CALOPHYLLUM SOULATTRI Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 121. “Habitat 
in Java.” 
Calophyllum spectabile Willd. in Ges. Naturf. Fr. Berl. Mag. 5 (1811) 
80. 
Burman’s binomial is the oldest valid one for the well-known 
species described in 1811 as Calophyllum spectabile Willd.; Bur- 
man’s name should be retained. 
MESUA Linnaeus 
MESUA FERREA Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 515. 
Calophyllum nagassarium Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 121. “Habitat 
in Amboina & Java.” 
Burman’s species is a synonym of the well-known Mesua 
ferrea Linn. Nagassarium Rumph. Herb. Amb. 7:3 , t. 2, cited 
by Burman as a synonym of his species, is correctly placed. 
GARCINIA Linnaeus 
GARCINIA sp. 
Rheedia javanica Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 118. “Habitat in Java.” 
The description clearly applies to Garcinia, but the further 
identity of the species is scarcely determinable from the de- 
scription alone. 
COCHLOSPERMACEAE 
COCHLOSPERMUM Kunth 
COCHLOSPERMUM GOSSYPIUM (Linn.) DC. 1 (1824) 527. 
Bombax gossypium Linn. Syst. ed. 12 (1767) 517. 
Bombax conga Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 145. “Habitat in India/
