Moon gives ' Wal-undu ' as the S. name. C. P. 3584, which has the- 

 leaves narrower, obtuse and densely pubescent beneath, is probably the 

 variety Wightiana of Fl. B. Ind.

If D. pseudo-Szssoo, Miq., of Java, should prove to be the same plant,, 

 that name has priority over Thwaites'. 



D. latzfolia, Roxb., has occurred in one or two places, but I do not 

 think it wild. Trees have been grown for very many years in the Botanic 

 Gardens, and seedlings distributed. It is figured in Wight, Ic. t. 1156, 

 and Bedd. Fl. Sylv. t. 24.
