115. Lagerstr(emia sp. 
Little Coco ; one tree only seen. 
A tall straight tree, about 100 feet, leaves sessile, oblong-lanceolate 
8 in. long, 2|-2| in. wide, thinly coriaceous, fruit | in., calyx woody, 
lobes spreading. 
The leaves of this are unlike those of any Indian species ; the fruit 
is very like that of L. calyculata Kurz, from Martaban, but the leaves are 
very different, being larger, much thinner, and perfectly glabrous. 
This, when flowers are found, will almost certainly prove a distinct 
species. 
PASSIFLOREJE. 
116. Modecca cordifolia Blume (flde Masters). 
Great Coco, common. 
Andamans ; the specimens are exactly like the common Andaman 
coast Modecca and the flowers appear not to differ from those of M. cardio- 
phylla Mast. 
117. Carica Papaya Linn. 
Great Coco, introduced but perfectly naturalised and already ex¬ 
tending in an unbroken line among the coco-n.uts on the east coast, 
from the north-east corner to within 3 miles of the south end of the island ; 
one or two isolated specimens occur at the south-east corner evidently 
oi’iginating from fruits washed up by the sea. Half a mile from the 
south end on the west coast is another spot, well into the interior, where 
some trees occur—the result apparently of independent introduction as 
they occur near the remains of some huts used by coco-nut gatherers 
who visit the island at intervals. 
Cultivated in warm countries ; originally American.
