A middle sized tree, a native of most parts of the Circars, 

 though by no means common ; it seems to grow equally well 

 in every soil. Produces flowers and ripe fruit all the year 

 round.

 the branches, and one in diameter. Bark very scabrous, and 

 deeply cracked. Branches exceedingly numerous, spreading, 

 with their extremities perfectly pendulous, like the weeping 

 willow. Leaves opposite, petioled, oval or oblong', entire, 

 very smooth, and shining on both sides, without veins ; from 

 one to two inches long, and about one broad. Stipules none.
