rounded at the apex narrowed or rounded at the base, nerves prominent beneath 

 or on both surfaces, panicles terminal and axillary not exceeding the leaves, 

 flowers large, calyx-tube turbinate attenuated below, petals free and expanding,

 calyx-limb. Bedd. Fl. Sylv. Anal. Gen. cvii. ; Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. Beng.

A large tree. Leaves 4-8 by 3-3^ in. ; lateral nerves sometimes forming double 

 loopings within the margin; petiole f-] in. Calyx-lobes short, rounded, unequal. Ber- 

 ries 1 in. to 1^ in. Blume distinguishes his J. firma specifically by the nerves not 

 being impressed on the upper surface, and by the more unequal calyx-lobes. The 

 Ceylon specimens have the leaves very much polished, the lateral nerves more numer- 

 ous and uniting closer to the margin, the cymes more lax and fewer-flowered. A 

 plant from Amherst named E. ficifolia, MSS. in Herb. Wallich 3603 B, has the 

 leaves very large and more rounded at the base. 



15. IS. lepidocarpa, Wall. Cat. 3618 in part ; leaves broadly ovate or 

 elliptic-oblong abruptly acuminate or rounded at the apex shining above, nerves 

 prominent on both surfaces, interspaces finely reticulate, panicles terminal few- 

 flowered, flowers sessile, calyx \ in. campanulate spreading above, petals free and 

 spreading. Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. Beng. xlvi. pt. ii. p. 68. E. grandis, var.

 DISTRIB. Sumatra. 



Branchlets greyish, more or less compressed at the nodes. Leaves thick, coria- 

 ceous, smaller than those of E. grandis ; midrib furrowed above, stout beneath ; petiole 

 about in. Panicle branches angular, much compressed below the nodes. Calyx 

 pedicel-like below ; lobes rather unequal, rounded, with membranous edges. Berries 

 about in., subglobose, crowned with the cup-like calyx-limb, often prominently 

 ribbed longitudinally. 



VAR. minor ; leaves and flowers smaller, panicles axillary and terminal,- flowers 

 crowded in umbel-like heads. The leaves resemble those ol E. manyifolia and the 

 inflorescence has more the habit of E. WaUichii. MALAYA, Griffith (2416). 



15*. E. Beddomei, Duthie', leaves crowded broadly ovate abruptly 

 attenuate below very coriaceous polished above, midrib and stout lateral nerves 

 prominent beneath freely anastomosing towards the margin and uniting at some 

 distance from it, inflorescence elongate, branches acutely 4-gonous, petals free. 



TINNEVELLY Hills ; alt. 5000 ft., Beddome. 



A large tree. Leaves 4^ by 3 in., rounded or emarginate at the apex ; petiole 

 | in. or less, stout ; midrib channelled above. Flowers like those of E. grandis. 



16. E. tetraedra, Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. Suppl. i. 310 (Jambosa ?) ; branch- 

 lets compressed acutely 4-gonous or the older ones subterete, leaves broadly 

 elliptic often folded very coriaceous shining above rusty coloured beneath, 

 nerves prominent on both surfaces, cymes terminal and axillary with divaricate
