Arbor. Folia l|-pedalia, 10 poll, lata, coriacea, petiolo glabro tripollicari. Bores

Two leaves and a truncheon of wood, bearing a few half- withered flowers, constitute 



all that is known of this plant.

Seemiugly a widely distributed tree, very variable in the shape of its leaves. The 

 two supposed species distinguished by Roxburgh have never been seen in flower. 

 We should, however, perhaps have kept D. pilosa provisionally distinct, on account 

 of its sessile leaves, had it not been that Wight's specimens of B. pevtagjjna exhibit 

 that character verv markedly, and are nevertheless regarded by him, we believe 

 justly, as only a state of D.pentagyna. These trees are well worthy the attention 

 of Indian botanists, as it is only in that country that it can be finally decided whether 

 several species be confounded under this name. 



7. D. grandifolia (Wall. Cat. 946 !) ; foliis petiolatis anguste

The specimen of this plant in the Wallichian Herbarium at the Linnean Society 

 consists of two leaves, both imperfect towards the apex. One of these is young ; the 

 other was probably at least two feet long, as the portion preserved measures twenty- 

 two inches. There are no flowers nor fruit, but the tomentum of the stems and 

 petioles renders it probable that the species is distinct from the last. Wall. Cat. 

 No. 943 C. is, we think, a leaf of the same species. 



In the llookeriau Herbarium there is a specimen distributed as B. grandifolia, 

 Wall., which is eitl ■ a new species or a remarkable form of one of those described 

 above! Its leaves, which though young appear nearly fully developed, are ovate or
