1. Lansium domesticum, Jack in Trans. Linn. Soc. XIV, 115, t. IV. 
f. 1. A tree 30 to 50 feet high ; young branches with pale glabrous 
lenticellate bark. Leaves 12 to 18 in. long; leaflets 5 to 7, alternate, 
coriaceous, oblong-elliptic, sometimes slightly obovate, abruptly shortly 
and obtusely acuminate, narrowed and slightly unequal at the base; 
both surfaces shining, reticulate, glabrous or slightly puberulous toward 
the base; main nerves about 10 pairs, ascending, curved, depressed on 
the upper, prominent on the lower surface when dry ; length 5 to 10 in., 
breadth 2'75 to 4 in,, petiolules ‘5 in.; the terminal 1 in., jointed. 
Hermaphrodite spikes from the trunk and larger branches, solitary or in 
fascicles, pubescent, much shorter than the leaves. Flowers sessile or on 
very short pubescent pedicels, solitary, minutely bracteolate at the 
base. Calyx fleshy, puberulous, with 5 shallow rounded teeth. Petals 
longer than the calyx, sub-rotund, glabrous. Staminal tube sub-globose, 
the mouth sub-entire, truncate, shorter than the petals, the stamens in a 
single row. Ovary sub-globular, tomentose, 5-celled ; style short, thick, 
10-furrowed ; stigma large, discoid. Berry oblong-ovate to obovoid, sub- 
tomentose, 1 to 1*5 in. long; seeds usually about 2, embedded in much 
transparent pulp. Correa de Serra in Ann. Mus. X, 157, t. 7, fig. 1 ;

coriaceous, elliptic-oblong, obtusely cuspidate, the base acute; both 
surfaces quite glabrous, pale when dry; main nerves very numerous, 
obscure; length 2 to 3 in., breadth '8 to P5 in,, petiolules '1 to ’25 in.
