Common on the Nilghiri nnd Tulney Hills, alt. 6-7000 ft., Wight, &c. Ana- 



MALLAY Mts., alt. 4000 ft., Beddomc. 



A large spreading tree, trunk low ; branclilets4-gorious. Leaves 2-3 by 1-1^ m., 

 obscurely dotted, the numerous nerves uniting close within the margin; petiole 

 J-nearly 1 in. Floicers cream-coloured, crimson in bud. Frtnt dark purple. — Tim- 

 ber valuable (called " Nawal ") ; the fruit is eaten but astringent (Beddome).

A specimen in the Kew Herbarium from the Pulney Hills (No. 254 of Beddome s- 

 collection) I find a difficulty in placing satisfactorily. To the above species it l)ears 

 a great resemblance but for the elongate calyx-tube.

Older branchlets with rugged corky bark, upper stout, terete, reddish. Leaves 

 i-7^ by l|-2i in., indistinctly nerved above, midrib stout beneath; petiole ^ m- 

 ^cyle short, acute.— This plant differs from the other members of the section in the 

 rounded base of the leaves ; it seems to approach nearest to E. claviflora, and has a 

 general resemblance to ^. horneensis, Miq. FL Ind. Bat. i. pt. i. 434 (Jambosa), but 

 the petioles of the latter are much longer. 



43. E. claviflora, Eoxh. IIorL Beng. 37 ; FL hid. ii. 488 ; leaves lan- 

 ceolate narrowed at the base obtusely acuminate, corymbs lateral subsessile um- 

 belliform, calyx-lobes roiuided, flowers clavate, herries long ovate crowned with 

 the cyathiform base of the calyx-limb. WiqU III ii. 15 ; /c t. 606 ; Karz m

 sidenible size ; it flowers in March, fruits in May ; fruit eaten (Roxburgh). ^*^^^\'' ^ 

 specimens named S. excavatiun have very thick coriaceous leaves somewhat revoi
