A middling-sized tree, 12-20 ft. in height. Leaves 6-9 by |-3 in. Calyx-lobes 

 somewhat membranous. — Some of the Khasia specimens appear to be intermediate 

 between this and E, aqma : the leaves are less attenuated at the apex, and not quite 

 so prominently nerv^ed ; the flowers are rather larger than in either, and the calyx 

 not 80 slender below as in typical examples of this species.
