 palmutoly 3-foliolate ; petiole ^-^ in.; leaflets ^-1 J in., the terminal always much 

 the largest, lateral often very small, all sessile and contracted at the base. Panicles 

 subsiraple, very slender, axillary and terminal. Flowers ^ in. diam. ; pedicels short ;

 StaTiwns short. Bisk obscurely 5-lobed. Bnipe \ in. diam., subglobose, compressed, 

 red-brown, shining.— Brandis suspects that this may be a form of B. parviflora, but 

 I cannot think 60. "^ '

 elliptic-oblong obtuse entire or very obscurely sinuate-lobed.

Leaves rather coriaceous, palmately 3-foliolate; petiole I-l^ in.; leaflets 3-5 by 

 1-2 in., rarely oblanceolate, sessile, contracted at the base, terminal the largest and 

 sometimes petiolulate; nerves many, spreading, parallel. Panicles very slender^

 Sepals orbiculiir. Petals not much larger, ovate-oblong, obtuse. Bisk cup-shaped,

A small tree ; branchlets, petioles, leaves beneath and panicles clothed vpith a 

 dense soft pubescence. Leaves 10-18 in, ; petiole cylindric ; leaflets coriaceous, sessile, 

 oMong, aciuninate, base cuneate, terminal petiolulate, opaque ' above, pale reddish- 

 white beneath ; nerves many, parallel. Panicle large, broad, with a stout peduncle. 

 Flowers ^ in., white or pale yellow-green. Sepals ovate, obtuse, pubescent. Petals 

 much larger, oblong, ciliate, and with a ciliate median ridge on the upper surface. 

 Stamens exceeding the petals ; anthers large* Bisk cup-shaped, 10-lobed. Styles 

 rather long. Brupe ^ in. diam., orbicidar, compressed, red, shining, acid. — I have 

 specimens from the Bombay Presidency collected by Dr. Gibson (perhaps cultivated), 

 and from Ritchie (Griffith's Herbtirium) collected at Baraghur (probably east of the 

 Indus) with the name ** Semall-Shoorookee." The leaves are very small, the leaflets 

 about 1 in. long, more sharply serrated ; it may be a diflTerent species. 



\/6* S. punjabensis, Stewart in Brandis F&r. Flor. 120; petiole not 

 ■winged pubescent, leaflets 5-6-pdrs sessile quite entire or serrate towards the 

 tip slightlv pubescent beneath, panicles much smaller than the leaves, flowers 

 •sessile, pericarp indehiscent.
