A moderate sized tree ; branchlets compressed or sub-4-gonous. Leaves variabie

Branchlets 4-gonous. Leaves rarely subalternate, or in threes, 5-10 by ^-^ ^^ 

 In Maingiiy*s Malacca specimens the angles of the branchlets are winged, and the bar 

 is of a reddish colour ; the petioles are stout, rather less than f in. ; calyx-tube ^ id- » 

 style long and persistent. Roxburgh describes the frnit as about the s:ze ol a 

 orange, and resembling that of Dillenia indica ; it is eaten, and ripens ^°^^"^^L 

 September. In Eoxburgh*s figure a section of the fruit shows it to be 5 seeded. J- 

 leaves are drawn too acute. Keenan describes it as being rather a tall tree with eno 

 horizontal branches; buds roundish, rosy ; the bruised leaves smell like cinnaino . 

 and the stamens are clove-scented. In Griffith's plant the calyx-tube is finely stnaw, 

 and there is a slight constriction near the middle.
