Natural order Tiliaceze. 
A shrab or small tree; young shoots scabrous with stellate hairs; branches terete, 
sparsely stellately hairy; laves rather thickly membranous, scabrous, ovate-lanceolate 
acuminate, finely subaqually serrate, base rounded 3-nerved, central nerve with 3—5 pairs 
of slightly arching nerves; sparsely stellate-hairy above, densely stellate-hairy especially 
on the nerves beneath; length 10—15 cm., width 6—7 cm.; petiole 6 mm., stellately 
hairy ; cymes axillary, peduncled, umbellate, few-flowered; peduncles 8—12 mm. 
long, pedicels nearly as long, in fruit elongated and attaining 15 mm., bracts 
triangular lanceolate, 5 mm. long, stellate-hairy outside, striate within; buds obovate, 
striate, 6 mm. long, 45 mm. wide; sepals 10 mm. long, lanceolate; petals ovate- 
lanceolate, 4:5 mm, long; torus densely adpressed rusty tomentose, cylindric, 3*5 mm. 
long; fruit a 2- or l-lobed drupe, subtesselately rugose with lenticular swellings each 
crowned by a stellate hair; lobes suborbicular, 7:5 mm. long and broad and 6 mm.

The collectors describe the flowers as yellow. The leaves of this species most 
closely resemble those of the Burmese species Grewia microstemma, but the margins 
are more finely toothed than in that plant. Tie flowers are quite unlike those of 
6. microstemma and most closely approach those of G. oppositifolia though the torus 
is considerably longer than in that species. The fruits are very distinctive and approach 
most nearly to, though they are still widely different from, those of G. umbellifera 
Bedd. (6. capitata Dalz.), next to which species the present one must be placed, I am 
indebted to Mr, Duthie for the discovery that this very distinct species is the 
same as С. denticulata Wall, which, after having recognised it as a distinct species 
its author unfortunately merged in his own С. scabrida.
