collected "by Clarke. These only differ from T. orientalis by the somewhat 

 more spreading pubescence and smaller denser cymes, which are, how* 

 ever, still young. Another specimen found by me on Parasnath, and other- 

 wise similar had large laxer cymes (f ''). Singbhum, Valleys in Saranda. 

 It can be distinguished from the type by the beautiful whiteness of the 

 leaves beneath (T. orientalis is green or silvery beneath) and by the 

 ehagginess of the pubescence. The veins are sometimes red.
