This species is closely ;illie<i to Tcnninulin pcUiirida Presl, but is distinguished 

 b}- its larger leiives, much larger fruits, and imbescent spikes. The abundant 

 material nf)W available has lead me to icihur Terminalia elUpsoidea. as the 

 characters on wliidi that species was based, do not appeal- to be constant.
