very coriaceous, up to 1 in. long, '75 in. broad, the nerves 

 close ; flowers in close terminal corymbs ; calyx-tube ovoid,

12. calophyllifolium. 



Leaves obovate, abruptly obtusely acuminate at apex, 

 cuneate at base, coriaceous, prominently glandular, up to

Cymes mostly axillary, occasionally terminal : 



Peduncles 2-4 in. long, their branches also long, ascending ;

 rent on the '75 in. long petiole, 3-4 in. long, 2-2*5 in. broad ; 

 nerves few, distant, irregular, joining in loops only; flower 



buds small, scarcely '1 in. in diam 14. travancoricum. 



Peduncles nearly 1 in. long, their branches stout, divaricating 

 at right angles ; leaves elliptic, usually abruptly acuminate at 

 apex, narrowed at base, up to 6 in. long, 2*5-3'5 in. broad, long- 

 petioled, nerves many, parallel, joining in an intramarginal

cymes ; fruit spherical, '25 in. in diam 17. malabaricum. 



Petals united, calyptrate : 



Nerves of leaf irregular, distant, anastomozing near the 

 margin, but not producing a clearly marked intramarginal
