This tree unquestionably comes very near to Wrightia tomentosa, Roth., which I have found wild on the Irawaddi, 
among hills at Segain, opposite the city of Ava, and along the banks of the rivers in Martaban, and which also 
grows at Tavoy. Both seem to approach closely to W. pubescens, Brown. It appears to differ from the latter in having 
broader and more ovate leaves, longer tube of the corolla, and club-shaped follicles ; these are much longer and 
slenderer, and nearly cylindrical in Roth's species.
