, ,l doubt this being distinct from C. tetrandra; the habit is the same, as is the 
inflorescence, but the drupes have an almost beaked apex.— The wood in Ceylon smells 
disgustingly.

,, large tree (Roxburgh); branches stiff, glabrous or tomentose. Leaves 4—6 in., 
bifarious, acute or cuspidate, yellowish when dry, glabrous or pubescent beneath, 
nerves very strong, cross-nervules parallel; stipules peltate, caducous. Cymes stout, 
short, axillary, male and bisexual fl. together; sepals acute. Drupe j-i in. long; 
nut reticulate, styles deciduous.—The straight leaves with nerves produced to the tip 
are very different from those of the preceding species. I suspect that C. philippi- 
nensis is not different from C. Wightit.
