TmRovaHovT Inpia, from Oudh eastward and southward to Ceylon, Tenasserim 
and the Nicobars; ascending the Himalaya to 4000 ft..—DistRin. Malaya, Australia. 
A diffuse or subscandent shrub, or an erect tree 40 ft. Leaves 5 by 2 in., gla- 
brescent; nerves 5—7 pairs, distinct above ; petiole 3 in. Panicles 7 by 14 in.; bracts 
inconspicuous ; pedicels 1-1 in. Sepals 3, in. Corolla 4-4 in., yellowish. —Roxburgh's 
plant was a diffuse or subscandent shrub, with rusty shoots; the Central Indian is an 
erect tree with pendent branchlets and racemes, and grey pubescence. 
Var. Wightiana, leaves elliptic cuneately acuminate at both ends or lanceolate 
coriaceous, primary nerves obscure above, secondary prominent much reticulated 
beneath, axillary cymes often 3-5 in. elongate raceme-like or terminal panicle broad, 
flowers white sweet-scented. E. Wightiana, Grah. Cat. Bomb. Pl. 137; Dale. §

vı. 101.—W. Deccan Peninsula, from Bombay to Cochin; common. 
Van. peguensis; leaves elliptic cuneately acuminate at both ends, secondary nerves 
not prominently reticulate beneath, panicles terminal large, branches long or short, 
flowers white.— Chittagong ; J. D. H. Moulmein; Griffith, Falconer, Parish. 
2. E. expansa, Wall. Cat. 1331; branchlets angular rusty-tomentose, 
leaves elliptic acuminate base rounded or subcordate, cymes in terminal racemes 
or panicles often prominently bracteate. G. Don Gen. Syst. iv. 392. E. 
ferruginosa, Griff. Notul. iv. 283. E. paniculata, var. B expansa, Chois. in Ann. 
Sc. Nat. 2,i, 222; DC. Prodr. ix. 464. 
Prev and Tunasserm; Wallich. : . 
, Panicles mostly large, broad (whence the name E. expansa); bracts 1-1 by $ in., 
foliaceous, Berry not seen.—Perhaps a form of E. paniculaía, but the base of the 
eaf is always rounded or subcordate, which it never is in E. paniculata. 
3, E. subspicata, Wall. Cat. 1332 ; branchlets angular rusty-tomentose, 
leaves elliptic or lanceolate acuminate, cymes peduncled subspicate, berry 3-3 in. 
elliptic-oblong. G. Don Gen. Syst. iv. 392. 
Sauer, Wallich. Kuasta Mrs., Griffith, J. D. H.—DisrRIs. Ava. 
aves 4 by 12 in. less abruptly acuminate than in E. paniculata, not at all 
obovate, rhomboid or rounded at the base, coriaceous, nerves obscure above.— 
erhaps only a variety of E. paniculata ; but the specimens are very uniform. 
4 E.g laucescens, Wail. Cat. 1334; nearly glabrous except the corolla, 
leaves elliptic acuminate base cuneate, cymes axillary often half as long as the 
raves and in elongate terminal panicles. Chois. in Ann. Sc. Nat. 2, i. 223; 
DC. Prodr, ix. 464; Kurz For. Fl.ii. 214. E. levigata, Wall. Cat. 1333 6; 
Chois, in Ann. Sc. Nat. 2, i. 223, partly; DC. l. c. partly. 
Stuer and Movrwxiw, Wallich. CacHAR ; Keenan. 
Differs from E. paniculata, var. peguensis, only by the branchlets and young 
Panicles being very nearly glabrous. Æ. glaucescens of DC., with the racemes sparingly 
Tufous-silky, and E. glaucescens, Kurz, with the young shoots rusty-pilose may 
include, wholly or partially, E. /evigata. Keenan refers to his plant as “a tall erect 
tree with white scented flowers.” 
5. E. leevigata, Wall. Cat. 1333, a only; branchlets angular slightly 
Pubescent, leaves « elliptic or oblong acuminate base cuneate, cymes short axillary 
towards the end of the branches and terminal scarcely panicled, berry $ in.
