It is much cultivated throughout Southern India, and 
all the warmer parts of Asia; where it is wild or originally 
from, I know not. On the coast of Coromandel, it does not 
‘in general attain to any great height, from thirty to forty feet 
may be reckoned a high tree, but with a very large, ramous, 
dense, shady head, particularl y when it stands detached from 
other trees, and a short thick trunk, about twelve feet high ; 
flowering time the cold season, fruit ripe in four or five months 
afterwards, 
Leaves alternate, petioled, oval, in young luxuriant plants 
often lobed, ofa firm leathery texture, above of a deep smooth 
shining green, below less so, about four inches long. Peé#- 
oles short, slightly channelled. . Stipules two, broad-lancee- 
netellnininsiaas
