_ This most elegant, large timber tree is now found common 
in Bengal, probably brought thither originally from the 
mountainous parts of the northern, and north-east frontier. 
Leaves deciduous during the cold season, appearing again 
with the flowers in February. Seed ripe in May and June. 
Trunk erect, growing to a great size and height, though 
I have only seen small trees about Calcutta. Bark smooth, 
gray. Branches numerous, forming a large, beautiful, sha- 
dy head. Leaves alternate, abruptly pinnate, drooping, 
from twelve to eighteen inches long. Leaflets from six to 
twelve pairs, opposite or nearly so, short-petiolated, oblique-

down the petiolet than the lower; margins waved, smooth 
on both sides, tapering to a long acute point; from two to 
six inches long, Petioles and petiolets round and smooth, 
Stipules none. Panicles terminal, nearly as long as the 
leaves, pendulous, composed of numerous, diverging, com- 
pound ramifications, smooth in évery part. Bractes minute, 
deciduous, Flowers very numerous, small, white, and pos- 
sessing a fragrance like that of fresh honey. Calyx five- 
parted, Petals five, oblong, with the margins ciliate, the 
apices incurved over the stamens, and keeled on the inside 
near the base. Nectary consisting of five, large, hairy, 
orange-coloured glands, sitting round the lower half of the 
germ, Filaments erect, inserted into the centre of the five 
nectarial glands, rather shorter than the petals. Anthers 
bent in towards the stigma. Germ superior, oblong, internal 
structure and contents as in the capsule. Style length of 
the corol, Stigma large, flat, composed of five lobes. Cap- 
sules oblong, rather larger than a field bean, smooth, five- 
celled, five-valved; valvelets opening from the apex and
