Terminalia,'] LVIII. COMBRETACEJ:. (C. B. Clarke.) 447 



Attains 80 ft. Leaves 3-6 in., when adult glabrous shining, the interstices of the 

 nerves beneath with sunk close white tomentum ; petiole in. usually with two glands 

 at the top or on the base of the leaf beneath. Bracteoles linear, conspicuous on the 

 young spikes. Flowers all hermaphrodite. Calyx- teeth glabrous without, hairy 

 within. Young ovary glabrous. The examples from other parts of India than the 

 East referred to T. citrina by collectors are in the present enumeration supposed 

 included under T. Chebula. T. citrina has a straighter stem, a brighter foliage and 

 narrower fruits, but ought perhaps hardly to be reckoned a distinct species. 



VAR. 2. malayana, Kurz. in Journ. As. Soc. 1876, part ii. 130; petioles longer, 

 fruits smaller. Nicobars ; Kurz. Maingay sends a similar form from Malacca 

 No. 643. 



SECT. II. Fentaptera. Fruit with 5 acute subequal wings. Spikes 

 usually panicled. 



\ 7. T. Arjuna, Bedd. Fl. Sylv. t. 28 ; leaves subopposite oblong or 

 elliptic nearly glabrous beneath when adult, spikes usually panicled, fruits 

 1-2 in. nearly glabrous ovoid- or obovoid-oblong, the wings not very broad their 

 striations curving much upwards. Dalz. fy Gibs. JBomb. FL 91 ; Brand. For.

Attains 60-80 ft. Leaves usually 4-6 in. (sometimes 10 in.), suddenly narrowed

 more than ^ in., often very short, with two glands near its apex. Bracteoles very 

 small. Calyx-teeth nearly glabrous both wittiin and without. Young ovary very- 

 short, covered with crisped brown or rufous hair. Wings of the fruit usually trun- 

 cate or suddenly narrowed at the top. Dr. Brandis states that T. Arjuna is common 

 in Bengal ; it is unknown in east and central Bengal but abounds in Southern Behar, 

 Chota Nagpore and on the Sone i. e. along the whole northern face of the Deccan 

 table-land.

 NEPAL, and SIKKIM, ascending to 4000 ft. ; very common. BURMA ; Brandis, Kurz. 



Attains 80-100 ft. Leaves 4-8 in., petiole ^ in. Flowers often attacked by a Cynips 

 producing numerous galls which simulate fruit. Bracteoles very small. Calyx-teeth 

 without tomentose villous or glabrescent,
