A large tree. Leaves 3-6 by 1^-2 J in, ; lateral nerves uniting close to the margin; 

 petiole I in. Branches of inflorescence flattened below the flowers. Calyx-lobes with 

 pale membranous edges. — Kurz in a MS. note on a specimen in the Calcutta Her- 

 barium suspects that this is the E. tetraedra of Miquel, but with some hesitation on
