 baBe, half developed only at the time of flowering. Stipules linear or 

 only slightly falcate. Peduncles few very slender and often as long as 

 petiole, about |". Buds oblong. Linear bracteolee sub-persistent (they 

 are usually very caducous). 



Santal Parganahs. 



The wood is the most highly prized of all the species in 

 Chota Nagpur for banghy poles, etc. The branches are 

 lopped for fodder.

The C. N. plant is certainly G. asiatica of Roxburgh, but somewhat 

 differs from the Linnean type. This was collected at Surat by Braad, aud 

 was almost certainly a cultivated specimen. It has tomentose shoots, sub- 

 orbicular cuspidate sharply doubly serrate leaves about 3 V long i still 

 young), white beneath, with 5-7 primary nerves. Petiole about f rather 

 slender and clavate. Stipules sharply subulate about as long. Peduncles 

 up to 1" long. Buds very broadly oblong. According to a note by Braad 

 (kindly translated by Dr. Daydon-Jackson) the berries are red and sour 

 (this corresponds to an unripe condition). 



The C. N. plant has leaves about 4", sometimes slightly lobed, more or 

 less permanently pubescent beneath but t/reen, petioles stout, buds up to 

 £", and much larger flowers. Peduncles up to 1". Petals usually 2-fid.
