A highly ornamental tree, with dark green, oblong, alternate leaves, and 
white fragrant flowers.—In gardens, Bombay; grows wild in the ravines at 
Kandalla, where it is some times called Waulu, the native name of the Indian 
Elm. (Ulmus integrifolia.) At Mahar there are some very noble trees 
growing by the banks of the river. The Mussulmen had the good taste to 
plant it round their Mausoleums:—Some fine trees grow in the garden sur- 
rounding the Tomb of Rabbia Dooranee at Aurungabad. A good drawing of 
the Tomb will be found in “‘ Sealy’s Ellora.”

Kernee.— Rayanee.— Rajun.—This is also.a pretty tree, with rigid branches 
and broad wedge-shaped leaves,—It is very common on Malabar hill, Bom- 
bay, but seldom flowers. The Musselmen planted it along with Elengi.i—The 
grove at Imaumpore, near Ahmednuggur, consists entirely of it. 
The wood is much used in Guzerat for a variety of purposes, such as mak- 
ing sugar-mill beams, Well frames, and other things where toughness is re- 
quired.—The fruit of both this and the last species is eaten. (Dr. Gibson.)

A tree; formerly in the late Col. Hough’s garden, Colabah; probably in- 
troduced from Malabar, or the Eastern Islands; where Rumphius says, it is 
commonly planted around dwelling houses, on account of the elegance of its 
form, and the grateful shade it affords. Intd. by Mr. Nimmo, in whose col- 
lection only, this beautiful tree is now to be found, ‘
