error of adding the fruit of one species to the leaves and flowers of another. Col. 

 Beddome's figure is correct, but it is not L. lanceolata Wall. L. corymbosa, Griff, in 

 Herb, is this, but the ticket of locality "East Bengal" is doubtful.. This variety is 

 not known from East Bengal. 



VAB. 2. benghalensis ; leaves pubescent beneath at least on the midrib, fruit smaller 

 than in the type, often less than in., fruit-calyx campanulate instead of funnel- 

 shaped at base. Nipal; Wall. Cat. 2119 partly. Sikkim; alt. 1000-5000 ft. ;

3. Xi. lanceolata, Wall. Cat. 2120 ; leaves glabrous often very white 

 beneath, petiole usually in., petals ^- in., calyx-teeth ultimately thick patent 

 or reflexed. W. $ A. Prodr. 309 ; Dalz. fy Gibs. Bomb. Fl. 98 ? ; Brand. For.

MALABAR COAST ; from Bombay to Travancore, plentiful ; no specimen from 

 Coromandel. 



Tree 30-50 ft. Leaves 3 in., elliptic-lanceolate, narrowed to both ends. Panicle 

 generally compound, never condensed. Calyx rarely glabrous usually pubescent, some- 

 times white and shortly tomentose. Capsule usually smaller than that of L. parviflora, 

 ^ f by ^ in. A species distinguishable from all the forms of L. parviflora by its calyx- 

 teeth patent in fruit and its longer petioles. "Wallich's name is adopted in preference 

 to that of Wight who confounded the plant with L. parviflora. 



4. L. venusta, Wall. Cat. 2117 ; calyx-tube in bud smooth ovoid white 

 puberulous with 6 linear accessory teeth outside the primary teeth, appearing as 

 prominent horns on the buds. 



BIRMA ; Melloon on the Irrawaddy near Thayet Myoo ; Wallich. 

 Leaves 3-4^- in., elliptic-oblong, acute, glabrous. Panicle large, not condensed, 

 white, puberulous. Bud as large as a pea, much larger than that of L. parviflora. 



** Calyx with abundant fulvous or brown-red tomentum. 







5. L. Rottleri, C. B. Clarke; leaves stellately fulvous- tomentose be- 

 neath, capsule f in. resembling that of L. parviflora. 



DECCAN; Bottler. 



Leaves 3 in., lanceolate, glabrous above, midrib tomentose ; petiole ^ in. Panicle 

 lax, tomentose. Calyx in the bud fully ^ in , with dense brown-red stellate wool 

 without any trace of grooves or ribs. Seed % in. including the wing. Named by 

 Rottler L. hirsuta? Rheede Hort. Mai. iv. t. 22; but this species, which is only 

 known from Kheede's figure, is represented as having a deeply-grooved calyx.

 522 ; leaves puberulous beneath, capsule 33- in. 



MARTABAN; Kurz. 



A tree, 60-70 ft. Leaves 5-7 in., oblong, acuminate, short-petioled. Panicles 

 compound, with ferruginous or fulvous tomentum. Calyx in fruit cup-shaped cam- 

 panulate, closely adpressed to the capsule, without grooves or ribs, densely ferrugi- 

 nous-tomentose ; lobes short-triangular, reflexed. Capsule oblong, shining.
