Very nearly related to E. frondosa. There are specimens in the Kew Herbarium, 

 probably belonging to this species, fastened down on the same sheet with it, in 

 which the leaves have dried of a fresher tint, and the difference in the nervation is 

 considerable; the flowers also are rather larger. 



b. Calyx-tube slender and tapering. 



70. IS. khasiana, Duthie ; leaves narrowly lanceolate acuminate at both 

 ends nerves and dots pellucid, cymes from the upper axils or terminal lax, 

 flower-buds pyriform f in v limb of calyx truncate. 



KHASIA MTS., Griffith, J. D. H. $ T. T. 



Branchlets terete. Leaves 3-4 by 1 in., smooth and shining above, finely reticu-

71. ZS. oblong 1 ifolia, Duthie; leaves oblong acuminate narrowed towards 

 the base nerves rather close slender but prominent on both surfaces, cymes 

 terminal corymbose much branched shorter than the leaves, calyx-tube \ in. or 

 less gradually tapering to the base limb truncate, petals calyptrate. 



MALACCA, Maingay (746). 



Branchlets terete or subtetragonous ; bark greyish. Leaves 3-4^ by IJ-lf in.,

73. ZS. cordifolia, Wight III. ii. 16 ; Ic. t. 544 ; leaves sessile cordate 

 amplexicaul ovate or ovate-lanceolate obtuse or obtusely acuminate, cymes 

 corymbose terminal and axillary much shorter than the leaves, berry nearly 

 round crowned with the cup-like calyx-limb. E. androssemoides, Bedel. Fl.

A very large handsome tree; branchlets terete. Leaves 6-8 by about 3 in., often, 

 larger, thick and coriaceous, polished above ; midrib stout and prominent beneath ; 

 lateral nerves usually not very distinct, sometimes forming double loopings within the 

 margin. Calyx-tube about in. ; lobes 4. Petals calyptrate. Berries subglobose,
