- This specimen, in fruit, agrees very closely with an isotype of Handel- 
Mazzettis variety (in flower). It impresses me as a very weak variety 
which perhaps should be merged with the species.

It may be desirable to make some other disposition of this large fruited 
form when flowering material becomes available. In vegetative characters 
it closely approximates Schima khasiana Dyer, and, to a degree approaches 
the var. sericans Hand.-Maz. in that the leaves are slightly pubescent be- 
neath especially along the midrib in the lower part. The species occurs 
in northern India, Burma, southeastern Tibet and Yunnan.
