Panicle diffuse, greyisli velvety. Fruit glaliroiis. Loaves glossy, drying yellowish 

 like Si/mploeos. X Jiavencens, as revised in Hf. Ind. FL, is a mixture of species, but it is 

 iuipo.ssible to clear up the .synonymy so long as the numbers of distributed collections 

 are not given. X. angustifolium, Wight, 111. 50, t. 23, with simple or almost simple 

 sub-axillary racemes and a villous stalked ovary, is certainly not identical with l{ox- 

 burgh's plant ; besides, it is a small tree or rather shrub, while the hitter is a 

 timber-tree (Kurz).
