Khas, or Kassow:--a handsome tree; leaves alternate, petioled, elliptic 
oblong, very slightly serrated: flowers in simple racemes, from the axils of 
the fallen leaves; all pointing one way, petals beautifully fringed; flowers in 
May: tne foliage is frequently tinged with red, which gives the trees an au- 
tumnal appearance.--On the Wye road side Mahableshwur, where it begins 
to ascend the hill;--in the romantic vale of the Yena above the water fall;-- 
When in full bloosa, this is certainlya very beautiful tree.
