ovoid, truncate, or shortly and unequally lobed, corolla lobes

1. OROXYLUM. 



O. Indicum (Calosanthes I. D.). Leaves very large, pinme 

 3 pair, leaflets smooth, ovate, acute, petioled, flowers in large

 jagdald. 



The Konkan and Ghauts. Throughout India (H.}. R. callg the 

 leaves 4 to 6 feet long, which I think is larger than we have them. 



The tree loses its leaves in the cold weather, and then, with the 

 long dark pods hanging from the ends of the branches, has a very 

 weird appearance. They are like a harlequin's wand, and if struck 

 send out an abundant shower of large thin seeds.

D. falcata (Spathdceaf. D.). A small tree, leaflets 5 to 

 7, oval rounded, slightly hairy, flowers in racemes, calyx 

 oblique, corolla white, about an inch long, fragrant, capsule 

 linear, curved and pointed, more than a foot long by J of an 

 inch broad. Netasing, marsingi.
