Oïl the Hoiiiis Malabaricus, Part III. 97 



gave specimens and a drawing to Sir J. E. Smith, to whom also 

 I at the same time gave specimens of a dwarf species of the 

 same genus, which Dr. Roxburgh calls Careya hcrbacea, and 

 specimens of the latter are also lodged in the library at the 

 India House. 



The following is a description of the Pelou, which I do not 

 find mentioned in any author since the time of Rheede ; nor 

 does Dr. Roxburgh quote it for his Careya arborca, deterred 

 probably by the figure having been taken from a plant witli old 

 worm-eaten decayed leaves, in which the serratures are badly 

 represented: but Rheede expressly says "folia in ambitu cre- 

 nata ;" and it must be observed, that he properly represents the 

 leaves on a ditlerent branch from the flowers ; for in the cool 

 season the tree loses the greater part, or even the whole of its 

 leaves and flowers in spring, before the fresh leaves open ; so that 

 it is only a rare branch that can then be found with any leaves, 

 and these generally old, withered, and gnawed by insects.
