A fine tree, from 40 to 50 ft. high. For a long time confounded with 

 Lamk., from which it differs in the larger and crenate leaves and differently ihl 

 male receptacles of this are, moreover, on stout erect peduncles, whereas those of

A superb tree, from 60 to 80 ft. in height. Roxburgh's original description of this species occupies 

 only two lines, and were it not for his manuscript drawinar in the Calcutta
