" In its leaf and floral characters it shows some resemblance 

 to S. senea A. W. Hill. It differs especially in the slightly 

 bearded anthers, the pubescent stems, and larger paniculate 

 mflorcscences.

" The inflorescences are borne at the end of short, leafy, 

 axillary shoots. The long flowers resemble externally those 

 of the long-tubed species, but the corolla lobes are almost 

 equal in length to the tube. The mature leaves are quin- 

 tuphnerved and easily recognized from those of any other 

 Eastern species. Some specimens from Courtallum in Herb. 

 Wight (1836, No. 639) at Glasgow have obovate leaves cuneate 

 at the base, and the twigs are unusually slender. The tree is 

 characteristic of the dry regions of India and Ceylon, and the 

 only record of its occurrence in Burma is from the Prome 

 Hills, where conditions resemble those of the drier parts of 

 India. As the tree bears no native Burmese name, it seems 

 possible that it may have been introduced from India.
