specific area, become a little shorter and blunter than in the typical Pegu 
forms and have rather more prominent nerves. In Collett’s n. 15 the calyx

tomentum on the veins of. its leaflets may indicate the presence of a distinct 
species, though, in the absence of flowering shoots, it cannot at present be 
usefully separated. Gamble (/. е.) describes the bark and wood, which are 
represented in Kew Museum, No. L, by specimens contributed by him.
