Obs. Dr. G. Govau has favored me with fruit-bearing specimens 

 collected to the Northward of Saharunpore of a tree, which in ge- 

 neral appearance and leaves comes very near to this species ; the 

 latter are however larger and less glandular. The chief difference 

 consists in the peduncled cymes with umbelled ramifications and 

 the unripe fruit being compressed, oval, and resembling tliat of a V^i- 

 burnum. 1 have not seen its flowers. — N. \V,

 glaucous aiul S(»ft beneath, with axils slightly glandular. Cymes sub- 

 umbelled ;^//oa'^;A- racenied.

 ward Of Saharunpore. 



Biamhex smooth.— LeotTS six inches long, by four broad, very-
