The Andaman plant has been referred to S. cinnamomtfolia, 
w., and is no doubt nearly allied to that species. e 
broadly ovate, trinerved or subtriplinerved leaves with their more 
distant and less conspicuous veins, the slender glabrous inflores- 
cences and smaller fruits and seeds serve to distinguish the 
man specimens from those of S. cinnamomifolia from 
Ceylon and Travancore
