SOUTH DECCAN ; Tinnevelly Ghats, alt. 3-4000 ft., Beddome. 

 A large tree. I have not seen this species; the characters are taken from Bed- 

 dome's description.

 oblong obtusely acuminate reticulate on both surfaces, nerves 5-8 pairs very 

 slender, male fl. - in. diam. in dense clusters on the old wood, stamens

 Stamens about 20, outside the disk, filaments stout; anthers large, not apiculate. 

 Pistillode minute, conical. Fern. fl. and fruit not seen. The depressed ribbed disk
