This species is distinguished by the narrowness of its leatlets, 

 each being from 3^ to 3 times longer than its breadth, by 

 the long form of its berries, and by its numerous stamina. 

 Rheede further says, " Fructus intus carne humida quadripar- 

 tita;" which perhaps implies four placenta', although in my 

 notes I have not remarked this part of the structure. 



On the banks of rivers in the Gorakhpur district I found a 

 similar tree in tlower ; but its leaflets were rather shorter in pro- 

 portion to their breadth, its Hower was not odorous, and its 

 stamina fewer ; so that, although the natives said it had an 

 oblong fruit, and although they called it Varuna, I have doubts 

 of its being the Kiirvala. It was however a male tree, Avith only 

 a few hermaphrodite flowers intermixed, while the kiirvala of 

 Rheede is an hermaphrodite ; which may occasion a difference. 

 I shall in the mean time, therefore, consider this as merely a 

 variety of the Cratceva Niirvala.
