From the description given of the inflorescence, it. seems clear that the plant 

 described by Dalzell & Gibson (Bo. Fl. 1. c.) under the name Celtis Eosburffliii wasthia 

 jjlant and not Celtis tetra?idra, Roxb. As far as I know, Cclfis tetrandra, Roxb., does 

 not occur in the Bombay Presidency. Talbot gives it in his list (p. 322), but as he 

 very kindly sent me from India the specimens he had so named, I have been enabled 

 to diagnose them as unmistakably Celtis cinnamomea.
