A tree 10 m high or less, the branches terete, rather slender, yellowish, 
the branchlets blackish, terete or somewhat angled. Leaves oblong-ellip- 
tical, 8 to 12 cm long, 2.5 to 4 cm wide, subcoriaceous, dark-colored when 
dry, shining on both surfaces, the lower surface somewhat paler than 
the upper, the apex with a short, blunt acumen, the base acute; petioles 
black, 1 cm long or less; nerves very numerous, slender, about 35 on 
each side of the midrib, anastomosing, the secondary ones and reticulations 
nearly as prominent at the primary ones. Inflorescence of axillary, short- 
peduncled, 2 cm long cymes, in the upper axils only. Male flowers 
4-merous, pedicelled. Outer two sepals orbicular-ovate, obtuse, 2 mm 
long, the inner two orbicular, concave, 3.5 mm in diameter. Petals 
4, orbicular or orbicular-elliptic, equaling the inner sepals. Stamens 
numerous, in four stipitate phalanges opposite the petals, the stipes 
about 1 .5 mm long, the anthers 2-celled, sessile, mostly on the inner face 
and margins of the phalanges, forming a somewhat flattened head 2 mm 
in diameter. Kudimentary ovary stipitate, the stipe 1.5 mm long, the 
stigma rounded, 2.5 mm in diameter, the margin obscurely 4-lobed. 
Fruit black when dry, globose, smooth, 1.5 cm in diameter, 1-celled, with 
a single large seed, crowned by the entire, disciform, sessile stigma which 
is about 5 mm in diameter.

6. Garcinia eugen iaefol ia Wall. Cat. (1828) no. 4873; Hook. f. FI. Brit. 
Ind. 1 (1874) 268; King in Journ. As. Soc. Beng. 59 2 (1890) 150; Vesque in 
DC. Monog. Phan. 8 (1893) 343. 
Mindoro, For. Bur. 6762, 6767, 6818 , 11398, 111/87 Merritt, March, April, May, 
1907-08; For. Bur. 12195, 12197, 12203 Rosenbluth, April-June, 1908. 
The above specimens agree closely with specimens from Singapore, coll. Ridley, 
identified with Wallich’s species, with specimens from Java named Garcinia 
brevirostris Seheff., and with the various descriptions of the species, and I do not 
hesitate to refer the Mindoro specimens here. King states that Scheffer’s species 
is identical with Wallich’s, and judging from the material before me I consider 
that he is correct. T., Basan, Basal; Mang., Banotan.
