 opposite, sometimes sub-alternate, ovate, acute, grossly and obtuse*

 four inches long, — Petiol from half an inch, to an inch long, — Pe- 

 dunc/es half the length of the leaves, filiform, rla'ttned, twice dicho- 

 U rnnus, the divisions long and divaricate, supported by a pair of

9 E frigida, Wall. 



Leaves oblong, acuminate, serrulate. Peduncles filiform, three- 

 fl-iwered. Capsules ovate-rotund, with four-winged base ; wings nar- 

 row, triangular, membranous. 



My knowledge of this species is derived from a few fruit-beating 

 specimens which my collector gathered near Gosain-Th.au, in Au- 

 gust. 



It is reported to be a small tree. Branches covered with brown, 

 striped epidermis ; branchlets obscurely quadrangular — Leaves as 

 much as five inches long, finely serrate, ending in a long, entire acu- 

 men. Petiol very short. — Peduncles from the vestiges of the leaves, 

 two inches long, divided into from one to three, half-inch-long pe- 

 dicels. — The uniipe capsule as large as a gooseberry, its wings quite 

 membranous, vertical, disappearing towards its vertex, obtuse. —
