lips nearly equal, emarginate, and sometimes there is a tooth in 
each fissure, which separates the lips. Corolla salver-shaped, 
with a cylindrical tube, and a spreading, 5-6-7-cleft border ; 
segments cuneate, and truncate. Stamens 2; anthers oblong,

Mucaadi is the Telinga name of the tree, and Mogalinga-marum 
of the Tamuls. Trunk erect. Bark scabrous. Branches nar- 
row, spreading in every direction, so as to form a large, beautiful 
shady head. ‘The wood of this tree is of a grey colour, very 
close-grained, heavy and durable. It is used for a great variety 
of purposes, for which it is suitable, being less liable to warp 
than most other woods. 
Mahogany-like Schrebera. Tree large.

lying in the hollow of the upper lip of the corolla. Anthers 2- 
lobed. Hypogynous disk urceolate. Stigma bifid. Capsule 
ovate or oblong, ligneo-coriaceous, echinated with hooked spines, 
2-celled, 2-valved at apex; dissepiment prismatic, central, se- 
miniferous, continuous with the middle of the valves, rising into 
a wing on both sides, which divides each cell into 2 parts, hence 
the capsule appears to be 4-celled. Seeds few, girded by a 
membranous margin, emarginate, and crenulated at the base.— 
A climbing herb: with tetragonal, dichotomous branches. Leaves 
opposite, conjugately ternate; furnished with a branched tendril 
from the top of the common petiole; and also having a ciliary 
crown surrounding the stem in the axils of the leaves. Flowers 
disposed in terminal racemes, each flower furnished with a nar- 
row bractea. Corollas of a dusky violet colour.
