— Qus. Dr. G. Govan has favored me with fruit-bearing specimens 
collected to the Northward of Saharunpore of a tree, which in ge- 
neral appearance and leaves comes very near to this species ; the 
Jatter are however larger and less glandular. ‘The chief difference 
consists in the peduncled cymes with umbelled ramifications and 
the unripe fruit being compressed, oval, and resembling that of a Vie 
 bumum. I have not seen its flowers.—N. W, 
s E / 
2. C. macrophylla, Wall. 
Leaves broad-ovate, acuminate, rounded at the base, smooth, 
glaucous and soft beneath, with axils slightly glandular. Cymes subs 
umbelled ; flowers racemed.
