A small tree. Leaves 2—4 in. ; base acute, under-surface glaucous or not ; petiole 
1-2 in. Racemes l-l} in. Fruit ellipsoid about À in. long, subrugose when dry, 
tip rounded.— The var. concolor of Mueller is not tenable; the under-surface of the 
leaf is sometimes glaucous in the Ceylon specimens, and sometimes not in the con- 
tinental.

A small tree, branches robust. Leaves 4—10 in., base acute, very rarely rounded 
or cordate, glaucous beneath; petiole 1-24 in. Racemes 1-3 in. Fruit -$ mM., 
ellipsoid, slightly tubercled when dry, tip rounded.—The Tenasserim specimen 1$ & 
female in imperfect condition; the leaves are very dark.coloured on both surfaces and 
not glaucous beneath; the ovaries are quite like those of D. himalayense.—W atlich's 
8001, from the Snowy Mts., is stated to be from Herb. Heyne, which is probably an 
error (for Herb. Hamilton).
