21. S. CAMPANULATA, Wall. A tree 50 to 60 feet high : young 

 branches rather sleuder, rusty-tomentose, soon becomhig glabrous. 

 Leaves membranous, broadly ovate, shortly acuminate, entire ; the base 

 usually deeply cordate, 3 to 7-nerved ; sometimes 3 to 5-lobed ; lateral 

 nerves 3 or 4 pairs ; upper surface glabrous, the midrib and nerves 

 pubescent or puberulous ; lower surface pubescent ; length 4 to 6 in., 

 breadth 3"75 to 5"5 in. ; petiole 225 to 5 in. puberulous : stipules lateral, 

 subulate, caducous. Panicles 3 or 4 in. long, in clusters of 2 or 3 at the 

 apices of the branches, few-flov^ered, glabrous, erect, sub-corymbose ; 

 pedicels jointed, about 3 in. long, bracteoles caducous. Calyx widely 

 campanulate, more than "75 in. across, green, pruiuose, glabrous, veined, 

 its mouth cut half-way down into 5 triangular velvetty-edged lobes : 

 Staminal column pubescent below. Ovaries gibbous at the apex : styles 

 short, cohering ; stigmas filiform, recurved : ovules 2, erect. Follicles 

 3 to 6, on slender puberulous stalks, membranous, veined, 2 to 3 in. 

 long, boat-shaped, saccate with a sub-terminal lanceolate wing. Seeds 

 sub-globose, with a shining crustaceous testa, '5 in. long or less. Mast,

M. Pierre (1. c.) remarks that, in his opinion, the two species cam- 

 panulatum and Javanicum, although closely related, are distinct species ; 

 but he does not mention the characters on which he relies for separating 

 them. After dissecting many flowers of the tree (until recently grow- 

 ing in the Botanic Garden, Calcutta), on which Wallich founded his 

 species campanulatum, I cannot see any respect in which they differ 

 from Robert Brown's minute and excellent description and figures of Pt, 

 Javaniciim. I therefore agree with Dr. Masters in considering the two 

 as one and the same species. 



22. S. TUBUT.ATA, Mast. in Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. i. 362. A tree ; 

 young branches about as thick as a goose-quill, tomentose at the very 

 points, the bark dark and rather rough. Leaves thinly coriaceous, ellip- 

 tic-oblong, with a short abrupt rather blunt apiculus ; edges entire • the 

 base broadly rounded or sub-truncate, very slightly cordate ; when 

 adult both surfaces glabrous except the midrib and main nerves which 

 are minutely rusty-tomentose ; main nerves 5 to 7 pairs, spreading- 

 slightly prominent below : length 4 in., breadth 1-75 in. ; petiole '75 in. 

 slender, deciduously rusty-tomentose. Cymes terminal, as long as the
