A large evergreen tree. Leaves 2-3) in., thinly coriaceous, shining, sometimes 
subsilky on the nerves beneath, nerves very many and faint; petiole Jj in. Umbels 
very many-fid., sessile or shortly peduncled, silky ; flowers white, about equalling 
their pedicels or shorter. Perianth persistent in fruit, 4-4 in. broad and long, silky 
without, densely villous within; lobes rounded, ovate, equalling the turgid turbinate 
iube; scales villous.—I have seen no Martaban specimens, which are described by 
Kurz as having obovate-cuneate densely tomentose capsules. The figure in the . 
Linnean Transactions represents a short broad thick capsule, quite like that of 4. ma- 
laccensis, and very differént from those of the Bhotan and Khasian A. Agallocha. 
Griffith does not describe the fruit, and I am hence in doubt whether the plant of the 
Notule is this or malaccensis ; he gives Mergui as a habitat, whence I have seen no 
specimens.—Eagle or Aloe-wood; Aggur, Beng.

__ Very similar to A. Agallocha in foliage, which is however rather smaller, and it 
differs in the much smaller flowers and short broad woody capsule, the valves of which 
are 1 inch thick at the suture.— The Honble. C. Smith sends from Perak, under the 
name of Kaya tang Karus, the foliage of what may be another species, the leaves 
being much broader, with much longer'acuminate tail-like points; it produces Gara, 
(Taras Gharu, Griffith), the name given to the wood of A. malaccensis.

Lofty trees, inner bark not tenacious. Leaves alternate, rigid, many- 
nerved, glabrous. Flowers small, bisexual, in axillary an terminal 
peduncled spicate umbels. Perianth short, cup-shaped, 5-cleft, thickly 
coriaceous, hirsute within, persistent, with a ring of setaceous incurve 
processes at the base. Stamens very numerous, at the base of the perianta, 
filaments very short; anthers basifixed, elongate, 2-celled, dehiscing length-
