 states T. crenulata, Eoth, to be T. Arjuna of Beddome and Brandis. But both 

 Beddome and Brandis have stated that T. crenulata W, ^ -4. is a variety included 

 under their T. tomentosa. Kurz has not communicated any example of his T. crmir 

 lata, nor in his description does he notice the character of the venation of the fruit 

 by which Dr. Brandis has separated T. Arjuna and T. tomentosa. The synonym 

 T. crenulata Kurz remains therefore doubtful. Perhaps as Mr. Thwaites hints T. 

 Arjuna (T. glabra, Enum. 104) and T. tomentosa should be made one species. . 



Var. 3. coriacea ; leaves as in T. tomentosa typica but beneath with a close hard 

 fulvous toraentum rather than villous, fruit pubescent with minute fulvous haiw.
