A small tree with soft wood ; branches opposite. Leaves usually large, spreading ; 

 petiole 2-5 in. terete; leaflets 2-5 in., very shortly petioled, obovate, oblong or ol! 

 late, tip rounded or acuminate or apiculate, nerves almost horizontal very slender not at 

 all prominent, costa perfectly glabrous on both surfaces, ('ijntr* very variable, length 

 and breadth of peduncle, more or less finely pubescent ; branches opposite and alter- 

 nate, bracts minute. Flowen usually densely crowded, ,'o i ' n - diam., yellow- 

 very shortly pedicelled. Calyx minute. Petal* slightly imbricate, ('a/tunic* usually 

 2. about the size -plendent, bine-black. 



There i> some doubt as to the name which this species should bear, consequent upon 

 the obscurity of h'ri.Jia. ti i^hi/Va, 1"'., founded on the Philippine Islands Fagara 

 Irijihylla of Lamk. (Ei:<l <i Lniniiri-l.-iniin, In-nth, r'lor. llongk. 5',)). Lamarck 

 ;i. -117) identities his Philippine Js!d. plant with Rumph'a Ampacus anguttifolius 

 (Herb. Arab. ii. 88, t. 62), with which also I.entham's Hongkong specimens 

 Roxburgh, on the other hand, identities a I'cnang plant, cultivated in the Calcutta 

 Gardens, with Rumph's A/npa-cua uinjuatijuluii, and describes its capsules as the si/e 

 of a iicid-bean. '1 his character of cap-ule docs not agree with any Indian 

 known to me. Roxburgh's character* agree in all but this, with a common Malay 

 plant. As Wight refers an identical Nilghiri plant to Roxburgh's, 1 have preferred to 

 retain for it the name BoxburgMaM, gprea to it by Chamisso, to distinguish it from the 

 true trij>/tt/! a of Lamarck, which has \-ciy small tew-tlowered eyn.es and smrvK 



siiles. Bentham (I.e.) observes that Lamarek's plant is a native of India, and 

 \\ i .-Jit's Icones ; but this is a mistake, for \\'ight's ligure represents a poor specimen of 

 this, which is a common Nilghiri plant. Wight gives .lussicu as the authority for 

 X, trij>/ti,l!inn, buth in his " Icones'' and "Illustrations;" but this is an error. Wal- 

 lich's Schmidelia !iit<><n'rr//nti is clearly a very large-leaved form from 1'eiiang ; it has 

 neither flower nor fruit; the terminal leaflet is 12 by 5 in. 



2. E. triphylla, DC. J'/'odr. i. 7^4 ; leaves quite glabrous, nerves 

 slender, cymes small hardly hracteate, branches ami pedicels very slcmU-r

This, though a very distinct-looking plant from A'. Boxburghiana, is not easily cha- 

 racterized, except by comparison. It is smaller, more slender, with shortly -peduhcled 

 cymes, 1-3 in. long, hairy, more slender branches and pedicels, the flowers are. smaller 

 and paler, and the capsules much smaller, about in. diam. The Teiia-seri;:, 

 jnens have elliptic-lanceolate leaves, but in other countries they vary from obovate to 

 elliptic-lanceolate. As in E. EoxlurgJdana the costa above is perfectly glabrous. 



3. E. robusta, Hook. f. ; leaflets elliptic obtuse or obtusely-acuminate 

 shining, nerves very prominent beneath, costa glabrous above puberulous 

 beneath, cymes broad brachiate their branches very robust. 



IY.XAXG, Phillips ; SIXC.'.POKK, Maiiigay (278 Kew Distrib.}. 



A much more robust plant than E. triphylla. Branchlets compressed, as thick as a 

 swan's quill, hoary. Pttiole 4 in., terete, as thick as a ciow-quill ; leaflets 6-8 in., 

 terminal subobovate, lateral elliptic, coriaceous, midrib and arching nerves very strong 

 indeed. Cymes 5 in. diam. and upwards. Flowers and fruit as in lioxburghiana, of 

 which this may be a variety ; but it differs remarkably from the Siucapore and Malacca
