Tree ; branches thickly yellow woolly tomentose with 

 long plumed hairs. Young leaves densely tomentose ; adult 

 leaves elliptic-acuminate, acute, base cuneate, entire above 

 except scurfy midrib and side nerves, glabrous beneath 

 densely tomentose with stellate and plumed hau's ; midrib 

 densely covered with plumed hairs as are 13 pairs of nerves 

 10 in. long, 4.5 in. wide ; petiole stout, 1 • 5 in. long tomen- 

 tose. Panicles 3 in. long and as wide, widely spreading 

 densely tomentose. Flowers sessile or sub-sessile. Calyx 

 short almost cup-shaped, very obscurely toothed. Corolla 

 glabrous tube twice as long ; lobes oblong rounded. 

 Stamens 4. Tasan : Tree ; deep lilac ; 6851. This might 

 be considered a variety of C. arborea but the indumentum 

 is totally different and the flowers have a shorter calyx. 

 The panicles are wider than in most forms The distinctly 

 plumed hairs are very curious.
