error of adding the fruit-, of one species to the leares and flowers of another. Col. 

 Beddome's figure is correct, but it is not L, lanceolata Wall. L. cory^nhosa, Griff, in 

 Herb. 3s this, but the ticket of locality '*East Bengal" is doubtful. This variety is 

 not known from East Bengal.

Tree 30-50 ft. Leaves 3 in., elliptic-lanceolate, narrowed to both ends. Panicle 

 generally compound, never condensed. CaZya: rarely glabrous usually pnbescent, some- 

 times white and shortly tomentose. Capsule usually smaller than that of i. parviflora, 

 J-| l>y i in.— A species distinguishable from all the forms of L.parviflora by its calyx- 

 teeth patent in fruit and its longer petioles. Wallich's name is adopted in preference 

 to that of Wight who confounded the plant with L. parvifiora.
