A variety of this (var. cordifolia) is frequent in the mixed forests of Pegu. It 

 has the leaves much larger (3-4 inches long), but offers (in fruit only) no tangible 

 characters for specific separation. I rely upon the rumination of seeds as little in 

 Biospyros as in Culamete. 



X X Corolla salver-shaped, elongately {very rarely shortly) conical, the tube not or 

 hardly widened, the lubes as long or nearly as long as the tube. 



+ Borders of the calyx-lobes of female floioers rejlexed or revolu/e, at least at the 

 base, and often appearing somewhat auriclcd.

 llelfer's No. ;3G32 (not seen by me) from Teuasserim or the Andamans is referred 

 by Hieru to B. Moonii, Thw. (i>. hirsuta, L.). I fear there is a mistake (Kurz).
