See Vol. I p. 88. 



This order has been created to comprise certain 

 genera of the Sapindaceas of the Gen. Plant and F.B.I. 

 of which we have here : 



TURPINIA. 



Turpinia ncpalcnsis Vent. ; Vol. I p. 90 and II t. 69. 



as T. pomifcra DC. 



Gamb. Fl. Mad. Pres. gives it as extending only to 5,000 

 feet. But it is abundant, and indeed often the chief tree in 

 sholas up to at least 7,500 feet. At Coonoor at 6,000 feet it 

 frequently occurs under the shade of other trees, but also as 

 one of the larger. The foliage is very dark. 



SABIACE/E.
