Only a solitary specimen of the plant here referred has been seen, and it 
is very doubtful whether it belongs to this genus or not;—allied to the Ricinus 
dicoccus of Roxburgh? N. 
There is another small tree pretty common in the ravines at Kandalla, and 
which the natives call Jungly- Rete. It has very small, yellowish white flow- 
ers, which appear in October and November, and tricoccous-fruit, covered 
with soft bristles. It probably belongs to the Huphorbiaceae.

A small tree; leaves alternate, long petioled, slightly serrated; flowers in

Roxburgh says, that the wood cutters of the Sunderbunds report, that the 
pale white milky juice of this tree, is highly acrid and very dangerous; pro- 
ducing inflammation.—The wood is white and soft, and could not have been 
the Agallochum of the Greeks, as it possesses no aromatic properties what- 
ever.—Their Agallochum was probably the sandal wood.
