very thick ; nerves beneath somewhat obscure, inarching. Fruit 1 by 2 in., rough, 
blotched, fide Thwaites, but when dry does not differ in this respect from the neigh- 
bouring species.—Thwaites’s example is not in flower; nor does Thwaites explicitly 
state that the seed is exalbuminous. 
Var. courtallensis ; leaves elliptic-oblong subacute hardly acuminate drying red- 
dish. Chionanthus courtallensis, Bedd. For. Man. 154.— Courtallum, Wight. Tinne- 
velly Ghats; Beddome.—A good-sized tree (Beddome), glabrous. Leaves 7 $ by 21 in., 
nerves beneath subobscurely inarched. —Panicles 1-1 in., usually reduced to 3-5 sub- 
simple racemes fascicled in each axil, glabrous. Petals scarcely bin. Drupe unknown. 
—The flowers of this have been in the Herbarium matched with the fruit of L. 
leprocarpa ; the identification must be uncertain until further material is received. 
6. L. intermedia, Wight Ic. t. 1245; glabrous, leaves elliptic-oblong 
acute at both ends secondary nerves prominent, panicles compound somewhat 
dense, petals 4 in. narrowly oblong, drupe 3 by 4 in. Chionanthus intermedia,

Beddome. 
A large tree, Beddome, more often small. Leaves 63 by 24 in., chartaceous ; 
nerves 10 pairs, reticulations many prominent; petiole 4—1 in. Panicle 2-5 in.; 
branches compressed; bracts d, in., ovate; pedicels often hardly any. Calyx is in. 
lobes ovate glabrous. Petals 4, shortly united at the base, obscurely disposed in pairs. 
Ovary glabrous.—Chionanthus picrophloia, F. Muell. Fragm. iii. 139, t. 24, does not 
appear to differ; the inflorescence in the picture is subcapitate, but in the specimens 
is densely panieulate, as in L. intermedia. 
Var. Roxburghii; panicles smaller, drupes scarcely } in., seed exalbuminous.

Linociera? oblonga, Wall. Cat. 2843, from Ava, appears the same, but the example 
consists of very young fruits and leaves only. 
7. L. pauciflora, Clarke; glabrous, leaves large elliptic-oblong some-

Leaves 7; by 2} in., shortly obtusely acuminate, base cuneate; nerves 11 pairs, 
subprominent beneath, secondary nerves obscure ; petiole + in,  Pamicles reduced to 
subsimple erect spikes 1 in. Flowers in bud, seem likely to be small. Drupe not 
seen.—This could hardly be distinguished from L. leprocarpa, var. courtallensis, but 
by the subsolitary racemes. If, however, as Wallich supposed, the next variety is 
really its young fruit, it must be altogether different. 
Var. evolutior ; nerves more distinct, petioles 1-1} in., panicles in young fruit 
2-6 in. compound lax, branches stout angular, pedicels thickened. L. paueiflora, 
Wall. Cat. 2812, b only.—Penang; Wallich. Tenasserim or Andamans, Helfer.— 
The seeds are immature but probably exalbuminous.
