during the hot season. Seed ripens in June. 
In April 1810, ¢ a young tree flowered in the Botanic 
garden at Calcutta, and is the first that has blossomed,

to thirteen years growth. The original description of 
this tree is very correct, all I can add is that the stipules 
are large and falcate. The stamina about fifty. Stigma 
three-toothed. Germ three-celled, with two ovula in each 
attached to the top of the axis. The seed constantly 
single.. The. Embryo inverse, and without perisperm.
