This species is closely allied to Terminalia pelluoida Presl, Inn is distinguished 

 by its larger leaves, much larger fruits, and pubescent spikes. The abundant 

 material now available has lead me to reduce Terminalia ellipsoidea, as the 



characters on which that species was based, do not appear to he constant.
