 nearly glabrous beneath, young ovary glabrous. T. crenulata, Both Nov. Sp. 380 - f

 states T. crenulata, Both, to be T. Arjuna of Beddome and Brandis. But both- 

 Beddome and Brandis have stated that T. crenulata W. $ A. is a variety included 

 under their T. tomentosa. Kurz has not eommunicated any example of his T. crenu- 

 lata, nor in his description does he notice the character of the venation of the fruit 

 by which Dr. Brandis has separated T. Arjuna and T. tomentosa. The synonym 

 T. crenulata Kurz remains therefore doubtful. Perhaps as Mr. Thwaites hints TV 

 Arjuna (T. glabra, Enum. 104) and T. tomentosa should be made one species. 



VAB. 3. coriacea ; leaves as in T. tomentosa typica but beneath with a close hard 

 fulvous tomentum rather than villous, fruit pubescent with minute fulvous hairs.

SECT. III. Chuncoa. Fruit with three very unequal wings, rarely more 

 than f in., often much smaller.

 very broad and two narrow wings. W. fy A. Prodr. 315 ; Dalz. Sf Gibs. Bomb.

MALABAR ; lower hills from Bombay to Cochin ; common : NILGHIRI and KUH(* 

 mountains. 



A large tree, the innovations rusty-tomentose. Leaves 4-7 in., lower subopposite,. 

 upper alternate, base cordate, two glands generally present near the base of the mid- 

 rib beneath ; petiole - f in. Spikes very dense, bracteoles and young ovaries villous. 

 Fruit about in. long, with one wing ^ in. broad, the other two wings hardly 

 in. broad. 



10. T. pyrifolia, Kurz For. Fl. Brit. Burma i. 457; leaves crowded 

 towards the ends of the branches oblong- or broadly-lanceolate glabrous, 

 spikes simple, fruit indistinctly brown velvety with two broad wings and one 

 very narrow one. Pentaptera pyrifolia, Presl Epimel. Bot. 215. 



PEGU to TENASSERIM, frequent ; Kurz, Heifer (ex Presl). PROME ; Maclettand. 



Attains 80 ft. ; glabrous except the innovations and spikes. Leaves 2-4 in., co- 

 riaceous, narrowed into the petiole ; petiole f-l in., without glands. Calyx densely 

 tawny or brown -pubescent. Fruit -f in. long, the two lateral wings about --f in. 

 broad, chartaceous, rounded and striated. Mr. Kurz cites as a doubtful synonym 

 T. javanica, Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. i. pt. i. 602 ; the example of which at Kew agrees, 

 but has no fruit. 



11. T. myriocarpa, Heurck $ Muell. Arg. Obs. Bot. 215 ; leaves ob- 

 long or elliptic acute, adult nearly glabrous, petiole very short, spikes panicled, 

 fruit yellow shining with two very broad wings and one narrow one. Kurz
