We found this large tree bearing ripe fruit in the month of October. As T. Hodg- 

 soni, which ripens its fruit at the same season, flowers in early spring, this species 

 will probably be found to do so too. We propose to dedicate this and another species 

 of the Order to Lieutenants Cave and Raban, of the Silhet light Infantry, to whom 

 we are under great obligations for assistance in forwarding our pursuits while in the 

 Khasia mountains, and whose gardens at Churra show what skill and perseverance 

 may accomplish in overcoming the obstacles which an ungenial climate opposes to 

 horticulture.
