This closely resembles D. grandiflorus, Blanco, but the two may 

 be readily distinguished by their young branches and leaf-buds. The 

 young branches of this species are pale canescent and its leaf- buds 

 broad and golden sericeous ; while the branchlets of D. grandiflorus 

 are quite glabrous and dark-coloured and the buds are narrow and pale 

 canescent.

 ^14. A tall tree : young shoots terete, stout, densely but minutely 

 tawny-tomentose ; the buds short, ovoid, thick, with longer tomentum 

 than the branchlets. Leaves coriaceous, bioadly ovate, acute or sub- 

 acute, the base rounded or sub-cordate, the edges undulate ; upper 

 surface glabrous, the midrib alone slightly pubescent : under surface 

 uniformly pale, shortly but softly stellate-pubescent, the midrib 

 and nerves tomentose . main nerves 12 to 15 pairs, oblique, 

 straight, prominent on the lower surface ; length 5 to 8 in., breadth 

 2"5 to 475 in.; petiole B to 1'25 in., pubescent. Floivers &ho\xi i in. 

 long, usually in racemes but occasionally in short 7- or 8-flowered 

 panicles. Calyx-luhe ob-conic, 5-winged, minutely tomentose. Petals 

 oblong, obtuse. Fruit sub-globose, about I in. in diam., 5-winged from 

 base to apex ; the wings thin, from '25 to '5 in. broad ; the 2 accrescent 

 lobes of the calyx narrowly oblong, obtuse, glabrous, much reticulate, 

 3-nerved in the lower half, when mature 55 in. long and nearly 1-5 

 in. broad ; the 3 minor lobes sub-orbicular. Wight & Arn. Prod. 84 ;
