Natural order Combretaceze. 
A glabrous tree, 80—J00 feet high; young branches stout and with large cicatrices; 
laves crowded at the apices of the branches, alternate, thinly coriaceous, obovate or 
obovate-oblong, with long petioles, the apex abruptly and shortly cuspidate, narrowed 
from above the middle to the cuneate and usually oblique base; upper surface shining 
when dry, the lower dull and paler; the reticulations rather distinct on both sides; 
main-nerves 7—9 pairs, spreading, rather distinct on both surfaces when dry; length 15—18 
em.; breadth 7—11 em.; petioles 6—7 ст. long ; spikes axillary, drooping, solitary, longer 
than the petioles but rather shorter than the leaves, rusty-puberulous; flowers 5 mm. 
in diam., sessile, the male flowers in the upper part, the hermaphrodite flowers in the 
lower, each with a minute deciduous bracteole ; calyx rusty-pubescent outside, densely 
rusty-villeus within, the lobes triangular, reflexed ; stamens exserted; ovary. villous ; 
fruit ellipsoid, tapering to each end, somewhat flattened on опе side, covered with 
minute dense rusty tomentum and with large, slightly wavy, coriaceous, puberulous, 
horizontally striate lateral wings; length of fruit 3:5—45 cm., breadth of body 
1:905—2 cm., the wings 2-4۰56 em. wide. Kurz, Fur. Flor. Brit. Burma i. 45 (1877);

This fine species, though provided with 2 lateral wings of the nature of the 
. wings present in the fruits of species of Terminalia $ Pentaptera is really, as Mr, Clarke 
has pointed out, more nearly allied to $ Catappa than to the Penfapieras. As no figure 
of the species has ever been published the present opportunity is taken to reproduce 
the unedited drawing of the plant left by Dr. Roxburgh in the Calcutta Herbarium 
Collection. | |
