A native of Nepal, from thence Ur. Buchanan sent seeds 

 to the Botanic garden at Calcutta, at the close of 1809; the 

 only tree which was reared, was about twenty feet high ; un- 

 commonly well clothed with long spreading branches down 

 to the ground, and constantly loaded with fruit.

 at the base, the lower half protruding so as to form a large 

 sub-rotund lobe, which is longer than the petiole, margins a 

 little waved, and serrated, scabrous on both sides, from six 

 to twelve inches long, and from two to four broad. Fruit 

 pedicelled, somewhat turbinate, a little ribbed, of the size of 

 a large filbert, hairy, they are generally produced in pairs, 

 or in threes, on long, procumbent, radical, and cauline, com- 

 pound, leafless branches, in compound racemes often some 

 feet long. Calyx of the fruit three-cleft, presses in to the 

 calyx.
