A shrub. Leaves 1-1% in., much cuneate at the base. Flowers pedicelled and sessile. 
— Liters from E. levis var. aspera in the narrowed base of the leaves, the more lax 
eorymb and the slightly larger flowers. 
5. E. retusa, JVall Cat. 903; leaves small obovate mature hairy 
beneath, corymbs small hairy terminal on lateral spurs, calyx-lobes lanceolate 
acute, flowers and fruit as in E. levis but rather smaller. DC. Prodr. ix. 511.

Burma; Pagamew, Wallich. 
Branches scraggy, as of a tough shrub. Leaves 14 by 2 in., base cuneate, shortly 
acute or obtuse not retuse, nerves distant not prominent; petiole i in.—This may be 
a stunted example of E. levis var. aspera; but the leaves are much narrowed at the 
base, the calyx-teeth remarkably narrow and acute. In habit it is remote from E. 
obtusifolia and the flowers are hardly half as large. 
6. E. ovalifolia, Wight Ic. t. 1383; innovations and corymbs pubescent 
or tomentose, leaves elliptic subobtuse mature glabrous. Bedd. For. Man. 167.

Leaves 12 by 4 in. in Wight's type example, but larger and broader, approaching 
E. levis in others. Corymbs, when young, pubescent and subtomentose in Wight's 
example, soon glabrescent. Flowers and drupes as of E. levis.

nerves 8 pair oblique parallel approximate, inflorescence flowers and fruit as in

Burma; banks of the Irrawaddy, Griffith (Kew Distrib. n. 6004). 
Branches round, glabrous. Leaves 12 by $-1 in., retuse and subacute on the 
same branch, euneate at the base, glabrous even when young, prominently striate by 
the straight primary nerves hardly à in. apart; petiole } in. Corymhs minutely 
pubescent.— Well-marked by the strong, straight, parallel, closely-placed primary
