 ■entire or crenate. Flowers white, in terminal corymbose panicles. 

 Calyx small, cupular, truncate or with 5 short teeth. Corolla white ; 

 tube long, slender; limb obscurely bilabiate; lobes 5, sub-equal, sub- 

 valvate, the 2 upper connate to near the middle. Stamens 4, didy-

 tree reaching a height of 80 feet and a girth of 6 to 12 feet ; bark 

 corky, deeply fissured ; branches stout, drooping ; branchlets somewhat 

 slender, flattened, lenticellate ; innovations and young leaves slightly 

 pubescent. Leaves opposite, 2-3 pinnate, about 1-5 to 2 feet long or 

 longer ; rachis langular, channelled ; leaflets ovate or ovate-lanceolate,

 chiefly) broadly crenate ; 1 to 2 in. long, 1 to 1'5 in. broad ; midrib 

 prominent, raised on both surfaces as are the 4-5 pairs of main-nerves ; 

 petiolules slender, in upper leaflets often none. Panicles 8 to 12 in.
