SCINDE, Stocks. PUNJAB ; in the Salt range, Fleming, &c. DISTRIB. Beloochistan, 

 Abyssinia. 



A shrub. Leaves 1-1 in., much cuneate at the base. Flowers pedicelled and sessile. 

 Differs from E. Icevis var. aspera in the narrowed base of the leaves, the more lax 

 corymb, and the slightly larger flowers. 



5. E. retusa, Wall. Cat. 903 ; leaves small obovate mature hairy 

 beneath, corymbs small hairy terminal on lateral spurs, calyx-lobes lanceolate 

 acute, flowers and fruit as in E. Icevis but rather smaller. DC. Prodr. ix. 511. 

 Beurreria retusa, G. Don Gen. Syst. iv. 390. 



BURMA ; Pagamew, Wallich. 



Branches scraggy, as of a tough shrub. Leaves 1|- by | in., base cuneate, shortly 

 acute or obtuse not retuse, nerves distant not prominent ; petiole \ in. This may be 

 a stunted example of E. Icevis var. aspera ; but the leaves are much narrowed at the 

 base, the calyx-teeth remarkably narrow and acute. In habit it is remote from E. 

 obtusifolia and the flowers are hardly half as large. 



6. E. ovalifolia, Wight Ic. t. 1383 ; innovations and corymbs pubescent 

 or tonientose, leaves elliptic subobtuse mature glabrous. Bedd. For. Man. 167.

Otherwise as E. Icevis, from which it only differs in the obtuse leaves. No fruit 

 seen. 



7. E. Wig-htiana, Wall. Cat. 7013 ; nearly glabrous, leaves lanceolate 

 and obovate-lanceolate scarcely acute, corymbs mostly terminal dense. G. Don

S. MADRAS ; Mysore, Courtallum, &c. Wight, G. Thovison, &c. 



Leaves If by in. in Wight's type example, but larger and broader, approaching 

 E. Icevis in others. Corymbs, when young, pubescent and subtomentose in Wight's 

 example, soon glabrescent. Flowers and drupes 'as of E. Icevis. 



8. E. parallela, Clarke-, nearly glabrous, leaves elliptic or obovate, 

 nerves 8 pair oblique parallel approximate, inflorescence flowers and fruit as in 

 E. Icevis but rather smaller. 



BURMA ; banks of the Irrawaddy, Griffith (Kew Distrib. n. 6004). 



Branches round, glabrous. Leaves If by f-1 in., retuse and subacute on the 

 same branch, cuneate at the base, glabrous even when young, prominently striate by 

 the straight primary nerves hardly in. apart ; petiole i in. Corymbs minutely 

 pubescent. Well-marked by the strong, straight, parallel, closely-placed primary 

 nerves, not much like any other species ; the leaves are usually obtuse, sometimes 

 retuse. 



9. E. Wallichiana, H. f. $ T. ; Gamble Darjeeling List, 57 ; nearly 

 glabrous, leaves elliptic acuminate, corolla-tube much exceeding the calyx.

A tree, attaining 40 ft., flowering before the leaves. Leaves 5 by 2 in., base 

 cuneate nerves 7 pair ; petiole | in. Corymbs 1-3 in. diam., mostly sublateral, dense, 

 minutely pubescent. Calyx-lobes in., oblong. Corolla-tube i in. ; lobes in., white,
