Dr. Francis Hamilton's Commentary 



flowers of that with the small fruit are not so offensive as those of that with 

 the large drupe, and therefore, in this respect, it approaches to the Tani -, but 

 then the fruit of the Tani is as large as that of the Great Sahara, or as Gsert- 

 ner's Badamia, while the fruit of the Small Bahara is like that which, l)y an 

 error of the engraver, is called Bellirina in the 97th table of Gsertner. On the 

 Mhole, these plants require still further examination. I shall, however, de- 

 scribe the fruit of the large and small kinds of Bahara, the first taken at 

 Domdoho, and the latter at Duriapur, both differing somewhat from the figure 

 given by Gsertner ; but I think, as I have said, that these fruits are subject to 

 verv considerable variations in the same individual tree.
