BURMA ; at Prome and Yenanghuen, Wallich. 
A very doubtful species, of which there are two forms in Wallich's Herbarium 
under the name, one with oblong obtuse petioled leaves, the other with subsessile 
lanceolate ones, the latter agreeing with Bentham's 4. malabarica, var. nigrescens. 
Of this last the calyx is that of ovata, the leaves of ma/abarica. 
4. A. malabarica, Br. in Bot Mag. t. 2071; densely tomentose or 
thickly woolly, leaves short-petioled oblong linear-oblong or oblong-lanceo- 
late obtuse acute or acuminate crenate or serrate, calyx i-j in. villous or 
woolly, teeth narrow lanceolate. Wall. Cat. 2037; Hook. Journ. Bot. i.

turgid, faintly hairy.—There are two varieties, one tomentose avi ao hast and 
from Silhet (Wallich) and Tenasserim ; the other more glabrous f rom ihe BL. from 
imalaya, I suspect both may prove forms of the Javan A. densifl » Di, 
which 4, philippinense, Benth., does not differ.
