Southern provinces of the WESTERN PENINSULA; CEYLON. 



Branches stellate-hairy. Leaves distichous, 2^-3 by 1|-14 in., base 3-nerved, oblique, 

 rounded, irregularly serrate, wrinkled ; petiole in., hairy, thickened at the top. 

 Stipules linear, as long as the petiole. Peduncles 1-3, axillary, 2-4-flowered, pedicels 

 very short. Flower-buds oblong, obtuse, pilose. Flower 4 in. diam., white, subse- 

 quently yellow. Sepals lanceolate. Petals oblong, entire, half as long as the sepals. 

 Drupe glabrescent, the size of a small cherry ; stones 4, 2-celled. Roxburgh's description 

 of the stones of this plant being 1-celled is probably erroneous, as shown by Wight and 

 Arnott. "*
