122 Dr. Francis HaurLToN's Commentary 
- This species is distinguished by the narrowness of its leaflets, 
each being from 21 to 3 times longer than its breadth, by 
the long form of its berries, and by its numerous stamina. 
Rheede further says, ** Fructus intus carne humida quadripar- 
tita;" which perhaps implies four placentæ, although in my 
notes I have not remarked this part of the structure. 
On the banks of rivers in the Gorakhpur district I found a 
similar tree in flower; but its leaflets were rather shorter in pro- 
portion to their breadth, its flower was not odorous, and its 
stamina fewer; so that, although the natives said it had an 
oblong fruit, and although they called it Varuna, I have doubts 
of its being the Nürvala. It was however a male tree, with only 
a few hermaphrodite flowers intermixed, while the Niirvala of 
Rheede is an hermaphrodite ; which may occasion a difference. 
I shall in the mean time, therefore, consider this as merely a 
variety of the Crateva Niirvala.

In the same Commentary I have noticed nearly all that is 
necessary to be said concerning this plant. In India Proper it
