Var. Andamanica : flowers ‘25 in. long, calyx very short: panicles 
sometimes as long as the leaves, lax.

This differs from typical B. thyrsoideum chiefly in the points above 
noted. When better specimens of the typical Malacca form are ob¬ 
tained, characters may be found sufficient to separate the two speci¬ 
fically. 
8. Dysoxylum turbinatum, King n. sp. A small tree 12 to 20 feet 
high ; young branches rather stout, the bark pale brown and striate. 
Leaves 10 to L6 in. long, the petioles and rachises glabrous, terete, equal¬ 
ly pinnate; leaflets 2 to 4 pairs, sub-opposite, thinly coriaceous, elliptic 
to elliptic-oblong, shortly and bluntly acuminate, the base rounded or 
slightly narrowed, not oblique ; both surfaces glabrous, the lower sub- 
glauceous, very minutely dotted, the nerves pubescent when young ; 
main nerves 8 to 11 pairs, curved, spreading, very prominent on the 
lower, slightly, depressed on the upper surface; length 3 to 6 or even 
8 in., breadth 1’5 to 2'5 in. or even 3'5 in., petiolules *35 in. Panicles 
supra-axillary, 3 to 11 in. long, puberulous, rather slender, with few dis¬ 
tant minutely bracteolate branches each bearing 5 to 10 flowers mostly 
in its upper half. Flowers *45 in. long. Calyx cupular, pubescent, nar¬ 
rowed to a short fleshy pedicel, its mouth with 4 short triangular teeth. 
Petals 4, linear-oblong, thickened and slightly concave at the apex, min¬ 
utely adpressed-pubescent outside, with a few fleshy hairs inside at 
the apex, otherwise glabrescent. Staminal tube cylindric, slightly short¬ 
er than the petals, the mouth with 8 shallow broad truncate teeth, 
puberulous outside, glabrous inside. Anthers oblong, short, included. 
Disc half as long as the style, tubular, slightly constricted below the 
thickened pilose mouth, otherwise glabrous. Ovary narrowly ovoid, 
densely pilose; style 4-angled, glabrescent; stigma slightly exserted, 
small, discoid, with a basal annulus. Fruit depressed-globular, tapering 
at the base into a short pseudo-stalk, covered with brownish pale-edged 
scales, 1*5 in. length (excluding the pseudo-stalk) and slightly more in 
diameter.

Malacca: Griffith. 
Xu the above description the flowers are described from the speci¬ 
mens of Mr. Ridley and of my own collector, and the fruit from a single 
Gritfithian specimen from Malacca which has no flowers, the three being 
in my opinion identical. 
9. Dysoxylum costulatum, Miq. in Ann. Mus. Lugd, Bat. Yol. IY„
