filiform, round, about three quarters of an inch long, covered 
with brown, farinaceous powder, Calyx double; the exte- 
rior one constantly four-leaved, spreading. Leaflets oblong, 
obtuse, downy, striated ; three times longer and larger than 
the inner calyx, permanent. The interior calyx oue-leaved, 
campanulate, half five-cleft; mealy on the outside, and cloth- 
ed with white short hairs on the inside, Coral} petals five, 
obliquely-obcordate, much longer than the interior calyx, but 
shorter than the exterior one, woolly at the base. Filaments 
five, exceedingly short, thick, coalesced below into a tube. 
Anthers tweuty, four of them sessile, round the apex of each 
of the short filaments, oval, lobed, one-celled. Germ superior, 
conical. Style, length of the tube formed by the filaments, 
three-cleft ; divisions recurved, Stigmas very large. Capsule 
small, somewhat three-lobed, hid in the inner calyx, covered 
with brown farina, and stellate rugosities, three-celled, three- 
valved, opening from the apex. Seeds, one in each cell, ob- 
tusely three-sided, brown, aftixed to the bottom of the cell. 
Note. I have found many of the flowers male. As yet [ 
am unacquainted with the uses of this tree. }

This is evidently a second species of the last described ; it 
is also a native of the Circar mountains, where it grows to 
be a larger tree than the former, Flowering time the rainy 
season, 
Trunk straight; bark rust-coloured. Leaves as in caly-

in that species, are the same in this, Panicles terminal, com-

means so much crowded. Flowers and bractes the same. 
Pedicels shorter and thicker. Calyx double. The exterior 
one from five to six-leaved, or cleft to very near the base ; 
leaflets oval, no longer than the interior perianth, The inner
