about ^ in. ; most of the examples are leafless when in flower, often with much 

 larger calyx. 



13. C. fulvosa, Wight Ic. t. 1380; leaves ovate obtuse or acute tomen-

. "W. DECCAN PENINSULA ; Concan and Belgaum, Lav, Stocks, Ritchie. 



Leaves with hard, not woolly tomentum, becoming scabrous or subglabrate in age, 

 very variable in size, obtuse or more often acute, crenately lobed or entire, obscurely 

 3-nerved. Except in its much less tomentose corymb and leaves, this is undistin- 

 guishable from C. Macleodii ; it may be only a more tomentose form of C. monoica, 

 as Wallich esteemed it. 



VAB. evolutior ; less tomentose, leaves 8 by 4 in., corymb large, calyx at flower- 

 time glabrescent. Bombay ; Dalzell. A very doubtful plant ; it forms part of 

 Cordia n. 13, Herb. Ind. Or. H. f. $ T. and appears really to belong here, but it is 

 exceedingly unlike Wight's picture of C. fulvosa.

14. C. octandra, A. DC. Prodr. ix. 477; leaves ovate acuminate 

 crenate-subserrate 3-nerved nearly glabrous, calyx cylindric obscurely tomen- 

 tose without, corolla white tube slightly longer than the calyx, stamens usually

Arboreous. Leaves alternate, 6 by 3 in., rounded or rhomboid at the base ;

 collected in Cochin- China.
