in all probability these specimens belonged to 7. Gella, Dalz., 
but unfortunately I have failed to find any authentic specimens of 
the plant, and Beddome, in his ‘ Flora Sylvatica,’ p. cin, say 
he had never met with it. The only pomt in which Dalzell’s 
‘description does not agree with the specimens I had before me 
was that of the glands on the petiole, which most, though not all, 
of the specimens possess, while Dalzell says they are absent. I 
have thought it best to assume that the specimens belong to 7. 
Gella until the discovery of Dalzell’s original specimens settles 
the question finally. 7. Gella is not accounted for in Cooke’s 
‘Flora of the Bombay Presidency.’
