Bradleia lanceolaria, Roxb. Fl. Ind. iii, 697. 
A small or medium-sized glabrous evergreen tree; bark grey, with 
longitudinal wrinkles; branchlets angular, glabrous. Leaves coria- 
ceous, glabrous and shining, 3-6 in. long, elliptic-oblong or lanceo- 
late, acuminate, pale-green beneath, base acute, decurrent on the 
petiole ; main lateral nerves 6-10 pairs, slender; petioles 4-3 in., 
stout, channelled; stipules triangular, acuminate. Flowers pale- 
green. Mate-flowers many, glabrous, on filiform pedicels 4-} in. 
long. Sepals + in. long, linear-oblong. Anthers 4-6; connectives 
4 the length of anthers, acute. Frm.-flowers smaller, few, sessile 
or nearly so, mostly in the upper axils, a few mixed with the males. 
Sepals unequal, lanceolate, acute, rigid, glabrous. Ovary hairy, 
6-8-celled ; style shortly exserted, glabrous near the toothed apex. 
Capsule hoary, about ? in. in diam., orbicular, depressed, usually 
6-8-lobed. Seeds often persistent on the axis. 
Dehra Dun, fairly common in swampy places and in moist shady 
ravines ; also in the Sub-Himalayan tracts of Rohilkhand and N. Oudh. 
It flowers during the cold season. Distrris.: Outer Himalayan ranges 
from Kumaon and Nepal eastwards, up to 4,000 ft. ; also in Chota 
Nagpur, Bengal and Assam, extending to the Shan Hills and Upper 
Burma. Roxburgh states that it sometimes grows to be a large tree 
with hard and durable wood. The seeds yield an oil for burning, 
and the bark is used medicinally.
