Assam, Silhet, Chittagong, Lower Burma. Fl. Feb.-April. Malay Peninsula. A 

 tree similar to this, perhaps the same species, in Queensland (Benth. Fl. Austr. iii. 285). 

 Thabu tliabye Shwebo district, Upper Burma (Smales), is probably this sp., sec. 

 and intramarginal nerves less distinct. 23. E. Beddomei, Duthie. South Tinnevelli,

 Wall. (E. grandis var. lepidocarpa, Kurz P. PI. i. 490.) Tenasserim. Malay Peninsula,

 above the bottom of calyx-tube so as to be almost half superior. Calyx-tube J in. long.

 mediate nerves. Fl. usually sessile, some very shortly pedunculate, in compound 

 trichotomous cymes, calyx-tube broadly obconical, free portion campanulate, as long- 

 as or longer than the lower solid portion, segments very short, filaments i in. long. 

 To this I refer a tree found by me on the hills east of Toungoo, Feb. 1880. 26. E. pachy-
