date base, hard above, hoary underneath, having one or 
two sessile, turbinate glands at or near the base of the 
nerve. Spikes panicled, terminal and axillary. Nut 
hoary. 
Tam. Anemui marum, 
A timber tree of considerable size, a native of the moun- 
tains of Coromandel. I[t flowers in July. It is nearly 
allied to’ Pentaptera tomentosa, (which was formerly 
called Terminalia alta tomentosa.) The chief marks of 
distinction are to be found in all the tender parts, except 
the hard upper surface of the leaves, that being in this 
very hoary ; the leaves are shorter, broader, and more 
cordate at the base ; the glands sessile, and the nut soft 
with hoary pubescence. 
Trunk tolerably erect. Bark ash-coloured, and deep- 
ly cracked, even in young trees. Branches spreading, 
with the extremities often drooping, and downy. Leaves 
sub-opposite, short-petioled, oval with a cordate base, 
and one side generally extending further down on the 
petiole than the other; obtuse or emarginate, entire, 
hard, on the upper surface, except while very young 
hoary and soft underneath, about five or six inches 
long, and four broad. Glands near the base of the rib, 
or nerve, either one or two, when two they are on 
Opposite sides; turbinate and sessile. Panicles termi- 
nal, and from the exterior axills, composed of a few, 
Simple, long, cylindric, hoary spikes. Flowers sessile, 
all hermaphrodite, crowded, small, of a dull yellow, with 
the outside hoary. Bractes solitary, one-flowered, linear, 
the length of the germ, hoary. Calyx five or six cleft, 
hoary without, and very hairy within, In the bottom, 
round the insertion of the style, are five or six glands, 
which are so yery completely covered, as to seem a tuft of 
hair only. Filaments ten or twelve, much longer than the 
calyx, Germ round, one-celled, containing two ovula at- 
tached to the top of the cell, immediately under toate 5 ;
