Arboreous, with numerous drooping branch lets. Leaves 

 broad-lanceolar, obtusely acuminate. Panicles axillary 

 and terminal, brachiate, shorter than the leaves, ultimate 

 divisions three-flowered. 



From Tippera, where this elegant tree is indigenous, the 

 seeds were received into this garden, where in six years 

 the largest of the young trees was about twelve feet high, 

 clothed with innumerable slender, drooping branches 

 down to the ground. Bark of the woody parts dark 

 brown and smooth, of the tender shoots green and smooth. 

 Leaves opposite, short petioled, from lanceolar to ob- 

 long ; when the plants were younger they were much 

 narrower in proportion to their length, entire, firm, highly 

 polished, obtusely acuminate ; from three to four inches 

 long, and one and a half broad. Panicles axillary, more 

 rarely terminal, shorter than the leaves, composed of 

 brachiate pairs of branches with their ultimate divisions 

 three-flowered, all round and smooth. Flowers like 

 those of the common myrtle, and about the same size.
