A large and most beautiful tree with a far extended un- 
commonly dense head ; a native of Bengal, I never met with 
it on the Coromandel coast. The trunk is large, and irregu- 
Jar like that of F, religiosa, sometimes dropping roots of con- 
siderable magnitude from the trunk and branches. 
Bark pretty smooth, of a brownish ash-colour, very tough, 
and peeling off in long slips. Leaves alternate, petioled, ob- 
long-cordate, pointed, waved, smooth on both sides, with few 
veins; from four to six inches long, and from two to four 
broad. Stipules about two inches long, slender, grooved, with 
a coloured gland round their apices, Fruit paired, axillary, 
sessile, the size of a pea, roundish, pretty smooth, when ripe 
white. 
36. F. rapiformis, Roxb, 
 -Arboreous, smooth. Leaves solitary and in pairs, petiol- 
ed, oval, pointed, entire, a ring of scabrous specks below the 
insertion of the stipules, #ruit axillary, solitary, short-pe- 
duncled, turnip-shaped. 
Introduced into the Botanic garden at Calcutta, from the 
Moluccas in 1798. Jn five years the young trees were from 
ten to twenty feet high, and produced fruit about the close of 
the rains, in September and October. 
Trunk straight ; bark ash-coloured and smooth, Branches 
many, spreading, the tender parts covered with smooth green 
bark. Leaves scattered, solitary, and also sometimes in pairs, 
petioled, of various shapes, but nearly oval and pointed is the 
most prevailing one, with the margins entire, smooth on both 
sides, from four to eight inches long, and about half that i in
