the inflorescence, but the tree is quite distinct from the last and in some 

 specimens rather resembles C. grandis. It requires further investigation. 

 L. not hairy in thp nerve axils bat paberulous between the straight 

 prominent tertiary nerves beneath, nervules not. raised or very distinct. 

 Discs on old leaves usually yellowish, not distinctly raised. 



3. C. Wallichii, G. iJon. Syn. C. obliqua, Willd. var. 

 Wallichii. 



This is probably a variety of the last, but again I have never collected 

 its inflorescence. The leaves are entire, broadly-ovate, Jsub-cordate, 

 densely stellately pubescent beneath. Petiole, nervation, and discs as 

 in last. According to Prain, the calyx is glabrescent beneath, 

 villous but not ribbed upwards.

 much longer 1J-3". Discs usually numerous and in old 

 leaves often giving the upper surface a rugose appearance. 



Throughout tne area, not uncommon on the hills. Fls. March-April, 

 fcr. May-June. Evergreen or nearly so. 



L. attain 10" but usually 4-8" appressed cottony glabrescent above. 

 Fls. white in dense tomentose extra-axillary on leaf -opposed corymbs, 

 buds clavate. Calyx in fruit broadly campanulate, \" diam. toothed or 

 lobed, tomentose, usually distinctly ribbed but not always. Petals 

 recurved. Young fruit very acuminate, ripe globose |" long by J-f * 

 diam. and yellowish somewhat tomentose, apiculate.

A shrub usually under 6 ft or a small gnarled tree with 

 the flowers and new leaves fascicled on short shoots. L.
