 lower ; length 4 to 8 in. ; breadth 2 to 2-75 in. ; petiolules '25 to '4 in. 

 Panicles supra- axillary, solitary, nearly as long as the leaves, with few 

 divaricating lax branches, densely and minutely rusty stellulate-pube- 

 scent and scaly. Flowers obovoid, globose, "06 in. long, on pubescent 

 pedicels shorter than themselves. Calyx shallow, cupular, deeply 

 divided into 5 rotund, blunt, spreading lobes, pubescent externally. 

 Petals 5, slightly unequal, ovate-rotund, concave, glabrous, much lono-er 

 than the calyx. Staminal tithe shorter than the petals, thin, puberulous

Although first collected so long ago as Wallich's time, fruit of this 

 very distinct species is now described for the first time. It resembles 

 A. tennicaulis and A. membranifolia io some extent in its leaves but is 

 a much larger tree than either, and its leaflets have a thicker texture. 

 Its fruits are much smaller than those of A. memhranifolia ; and 

 although of about the same size as those of A. tennicaiilis, they arc 

 covered with much shoiter tomentum. Specimens of this were distri- 

 buted from (he Calcutta Herbarium under the MSS. name Anlaia 

 cnpa7iioi(lra, King MSS.
