n evergreen bush or small tree, 20-40 ft.; branches rather stout. Leaves ex- 
tremely variable, the largest (Ava, Wallich) 16 by 9 in., usually rusty-brown when 
Ty, rarely green, glossy above ; nerves strong beneath; petiole j-lin. Umbels (un- 
Opened 2 in. diam.) densely tomentose, stoutly pedicelled. Perianth 5-6-partite. 
Stamens 9-13, filaments hairy. Ovary in d 0, or with a slender style and small 
stigma, Fruit i-i in.—Brandis gives South India and Ceylon as habitats, but I 
ve seen no Peninsular specimens, and the only authority for Ceylon is an unnamed 
scrap of Thwaites (C. P. 326), for which he gives no locality, and was probably not 
„own collecting. Wallich’s semecarpifolia (Cat. 6346 A) is, I think, this, but the 
Specimen is a very bad one.
