1. H. sulfureum, Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. 1873, pt. ii. p. 90, and For. 

 Fl. ii. 234; leaflets elliptic crenulate mature nearly glabrous, corolla yellow, 

 tube If in., capsule straight linear much compressed densely iwoolly. 



PEGU ; Prome and Pegu Yomah, Kurz. 



A tree, 25-40 ft. Leaves 2-3 ft. ; leaflets 9-11, 6 by 3 in. ; petiolule ^ in. Pani- 

 cles short, densely tomentose, appearing before the leaves ; pedicels ^ in., tomentose. 

 Calyx | in., 2-3-lobed to the middle, woolly without. Corolla floccose without, 

 afterwards nearly glabrate ; mouth 2 in. diam. ; lobes crisped. Capsules 18-24 by 

 1-1^ in. Seeds 1^ by | in. Kurz remarks that the capsules are exactly as those 

 of Dolichandrone stipulata, which is the case with the (unattached) capsules trans- 

 mitted. The leaves are also very like those of Dolichandrone stipulata, but the 

 flowers are considerably smaller. The tree is referred by Kurz to Heterophragma, 

 because the calyx is irregularly lobed, not spathaceous ; but in one example of Kurz 

 the calyx is split to the base on one side, and the tree appears a Dolichandrone.
