Ushlea the vernacular name in Silhet, where it is indi- 
genous, growing to be a middling sized tree. Flowering in | 
March and April, and the seed ripening in May and June. 
_ Bark of the trunk and Jarger branches ash-coloured ;

itis also with the leaves, Leaves alternate, petioled, lanceolate, 
rather obtusely acuminate, entire, smooth, from four to eight 
inches long, by from one to three broad. Petioles about an 
inch long, thick at both ends, Stipules thick, subulate, a 
little hairy, caducous. Racemes axillary, or under the leaves, 
and much shorter than them, simple, erect. Flowers few, 
small, red, long-pedicelled, by far the greater part are male, 
Calyx, stamina and pistillum as in the genus. Capsules 
follicular; from one to five come to maturity, they are ob- 
long, rather obtuse ; the surface rather harsh with very minute, 
short hairs; length about three inches, Seeds from four to 
eight, oval, Integuments three ; the eaterior one thin, brittle, 
polished, black ; the secoud thin, brown; between it and. the 
exterior one a ae dull-coloured, soft, sebaceous lamina; . the
