petioles young. leaves beneath and panicles fulvous-tomentose at lengh 
vlabrate, leaves 6-12 in. elliptic or elliptic-oblong acuminate strongly 3- 
nerved transverse nerves very strong beneath, panicle shorter than the

matra, Borneo. . t3 
Branches robust. Leaves firmly coriaceous, shining above; petiole stout. | Pani- 
cles 3-4 in. long, perianth densely tomentose. Fruit unknown.—The Singapore 
specimens in late flower are certainly the Javan plant, but the Penang ones, whic 
have neither flower nor fruit, have the leaves more narrowed into the very short thick 
petiole. 
6. C. Cassia, Blume Bijd. 5702; leaves 3-4 in. glabrous oblong to 
oblong-lanceolate caudate-acuminate 3-nerved, petiole slender, panicles 
cymose silky terminal and axillary, flowers small, fruit the size of a peà 
with the perianth-lobes persistent or truncate.

I have refrained from quoting synonyms for Kurz's plant, of which.I have seen 
no specimens; it is remarkable for the small size of the fruit, in which respect it 
agrees with the plant that yields the Cassia bark of China, but differs in the perianth- 
lobes being sometimes persistent, these being wholly deciduous in the China plant, 
leaving a perfectly entire mouth of the fruiting perianth. In Bentley and Trimen'$ 
Med. PI. (iii. t, 233) they are represented as minute and persistent.

A tree, branchlets nearly glabrous. Leaves very variable in breadth, rarely ovate 
and rounded at the base, shining above, nerves continued to the tip. Panicles very 
lax-fld., with spreading branches and pedicels; flowers about jj in. long. Fruiting 
perianth rather spreading when dry, J in. diam.—Kurz describes the fruiting perianth 
as truncately 6-lobed, implying that the lobes are partially deciduous, and the frais 
as $ in. long, which makes me doubt the identity of his plant with that described 
above. Wallich’s L. malabathrum is, I think, this, and is not Roxburgh's, who 
takes the name, following Solander, for Rheede's Malabar plant. There is in the ew 
Herbarium a Canara specimen of what resembles this, but it is not in fruit.
