Not illustrated. 1824 Excerpt: ...exists among authors respecting Bui man's plant, which it is highly probable is the same as that just described.--Satvadora persica (see vol. i. of this work, p. 401.) though approaching to it in general appearance," differs widely in the structure of die seed, which has been described and delineated by the younger Gaertuer, Carp. iii. 228. t 222. Poiret (Encycl. bot. vi. 196 ) quotes it as a synonym together with Antidesma Gheesambilla Gaert. Garp. i. 189, t. 39, under Embelia indica, which is the same as E. Ribes mentioned by Lamarck in the preceding part of that work, vol. ii. S54.--1 have had abundance of specimens of it from Silhet. The leaves as well as the flowers are marked with copious, minute, glandular dots, as is the case with all the other species; the margin of the petiol is not so crispate as in E. canescens. I have met with a slight variety of this shrub on the island of Pinaug and Singapore (on Palmer's hill), in flower and fruit from August to October; its leaves are smaller, more lanceolate, rather narrower, terminated by a long, linear, bluntish acumen; in other respects it agrees so well with the St'lhet plant, that L cannot venture to separate iliem, especially as there are not a few examples of a singular coincidence of the Malayan flora with that of the eastern parts of Bengal, such as Clerodendron nutans, Wall., Bignonia mul tijuga, Wall., Xanthophyllumjla-cescem, Roxb. and others. Embelia differs from Ardisia only in its valvate aestivation; and from Myrsine in having hermaphrodite flowers. I may remark here that a marginally imbricate aestivation is often extremely difficult and only by analogy to be discerned from a valvate one.--Perhaps all the three genera, with Other a and Orixa of Tliuubeig, and several others ought to b...
