Stxxim HIMALAYA and East NEPAL; alt. 4-5000 ft., J. D. H., King. 
Possibly a form of B. Roxburghiana, but the branches and leaves are all opposite, 
and the leaves much smaller and more rounded at both ends ; the fruit is 1 in. long. 
Dr. King's specimens are in fruit only, mine gathered in E. Nepal I noted as being 
exactly like a small plum.— This is probably the tree referred to B. Rozburghiana by 
Gamble and Brandis, and stated to grow at 8000 feet elevation in Sikkim.
