Terminalia. DECANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 433 
‘In this garden ‘they blossom in April and May, and 
ripen their seed the following March. 
Trunk straight. Branches sub-verticelled, horizontal. 
Bark pretty smooth, and of a dark brown colour, height 
of the whole tree about fifty feet. Leaves alternate, short- 
petioled, oblong, obtuse, entire, smooth on both sides, 
beautifully reticulated with minute veins, while young 
coloured and villous, from two to twelve inches long, and 
broad in'proportion. Petioles scarcely one-fourth the length 
_ of the leaves, round, smooth, without glands, and this is 
the only species of the genus, I have yet met with, that is 
so, and in this it differs from T. belerica. Spikes axillary, 
solitary, shorter than the leaves. Flowers numerous, of | 
a dull yellowish brown colour, and rather offensive smell. 
Male towards the apex, and the hermaphrodite below. 
- Calyx flat, with the apices of the five divisions revolate, 
villous on the outside, and woolly within. Filaments 
ten, twice or more longer than the calyx. Germ and 
style in the male small, and abortive, in the hermaphro- 
dite larger and longer. .Drupe round-obovate, some- 
‘what villous, size of a large nutmeg, Nut the shape of the 
drupe, slightly five-grooved, from the apex to the base, 
- For some time I gave this species the trivial name 
eglandulosa ; a specimen so named must have fallen into 
Willdenow’s hand to have enabled him to quote me for 
that name, See his edition of the species, vol. 4, p. 968. >
