Kannikatti, 2,500 ft., No. 39428. 
I)istr. Ceylon. 
This record is interesting in the fact that the species is not entirely 
restricted to Ceylon but its distribution also extends to the Tinnevelly District.

Tirukarungudi, No. 38323.

This plant was also noticed several times in a cultivated state, near roads 
and dwelling houses. The seeds, the people informed us, afford excellent 
oil for burning lamps.

Beddome in Flora. Sylvat. Gen. XXVII says of this species under H. 
parviflora Bedd.“ my specimens from southern Tinnevelly where the tree 
is called Nirkong have longer and narrower leaves (5-7 inches long by 1-1^ 
inches broad) than the south Canara specimens, ”. Afterwards Sir 
William Thiselton Dyer when writing up the account of the order Dipter- 
ocarpecB for the Flora of British India, made the above quoted Tinnevelly 
specimens of Beddome to be the type of a new species and called it Hopea 
longifolia Dyer . As far as is known at present this species seems restricted 
only to South Tinnevelly.
