 bably a distinct species.

17 T. BENGALE'NSIS (Roxb. hort. beng. p. 33.) leaves alter- 

 nate, obovate, obtuse, quite entire, glabrous on both surfaces, 

 glandless as well as the petioles. T? . S. Native of Bengal.

18 T. BELLE'RICA (Roxb. cor. 2. p. 54. t. 198.) leaves alter- 

 nate, elliptic, quite entire, acutish at both ends, glabrous, on long 

 petioles ; petiole furnished with 2 small, opposite, or subalter- 

 nate glands at the apex, fy . S. Native of the East Indies, on 

 the mountains. Myrobalanus Bellerica, Breyn. icon. 18. t. 4. 

 Gsertn. fruct. 2. p. 90. t. 97. Tani, Rheed. mal.4. t. 10. Drupe 

 ovate, bluntly pentagonal, fleshy. Flowers fetid. A quantity 

 of insipid gum like gum-arabic issues from this tree when 

 wounded. The kernel of the nut is reported to intoxicate if 

 eaten in any great quantity.

19 T. CHE'BULA (Retz. obs. 5. p. 31. Roxb. cor. 2. p. 52. 

 t. 197.) leaves nearly opposite, ovate, acutish, petiolate, glabrous

 silky villi on both surfaces ; glands 2 at the top of the petiole, 

 and many on the margin of the limb. fy . S. Native of the 

 East Indies, on the mountains. Myrobalanus Chebula, Gaertn. 

 fruct. 2. p. 90. t. 97. Drupe ovate, bluntly angular, the alter- 

 nate angles the largest ; flesh hard and brittle. Nut pen- 

 tagonal. The outer coat of the fruit mixed with salt of steel 

 makes a very durable ink. The galls, called cadacay by the 

 Tamuls, are found on the leaves of this tree, and are probably 

 produced by the punctures of insects on the tender leaves. With 

 them and alum the best and most durable yellow is dyed, and in 

 conjunction with ferruginous mud a black is procured from them.
