PENANG, Wallich. MALACCA, Griffith (Keiv Distrib. 4685). 

 Very similar to T. virgata, and perhaps a variety of that plant, but the leaves 

 are narrower, scabrid, rufous when dry beneath, and the flowers hispidulous.

SIKKIM HIMALAYA ; in hot valleys, ASSAM, SILHET, and southwards to SINGA- 

 POEE and the ANDAMAN ISLANDS. 



A tree with the habit of T. orientalis, from which it differs in the tomentose 

 leaves, and of which it is perhaps a large form, as considered by Kurz. If it should 

 prove to be the Trema cannabina of Loureiro, that author's name will stand.
