filiform, round, about three quarters of an inch long-, covered 

 wi(h brown, farinaceous powder. Cah/x double ; the exte- 

 rior one constantly four-leaved, spreading-. Leaflets oblong-, 

 obtuse, downy, striated ; three times longer and larger than 

 the inner calyx, permanent. The interior calyx one-leaved, 

 campannla(e, half five-cleft; mealy on the outside, and cloth- 

 ed with white short hairs on the inside. Corol ; petals five, 

 obliqnely-obcordate, nuich longer than the interior calyx, but 

 shorter than the exterior one, woolly at the base. Filaments

 Anthers twenty, four of them sessile, round the apex of each 

 of the short filaments, oval, lobed, one-celled. Germ superior, 

 conical. Sti/k, length of the tube formed by the filaments, 

 three-cleft ; divisions recurved. Sti(jmas very large. Capsule 

 small, somewhat three-lobed, bid in the inner calyx, covered

 valved, opening from the apex. Seeds, one in each cell, ob- 

 tusely three sided, brown, affixed to the bottom of the cell.

Exterior calijx six-leaved, shorter than the corol. 



Teling. Potree. 



This is evidently a second species of the last described ; it 

 is also a native of the Circar mountains, where it g-roAvs to 

 be a larger tree than the former. Flowering time the rainy 

 season. 



Trunk straight ; hark rust-coloured. Leaves as in caly- 

 cina, even to the glands, and all the parts covered with farina

 posed of small umbellets as in the former species, but by no 

 means so much crowded. Floicers and bructes the same. 

 Pedicels shorter and thicker. Califx double. The exterior 

 one from five to six-leaved, or cleft to very near the base; 

 leajlejs oval, no longer than the interior perianth. The inner
