Specimens in flower were sent by Mr. 
Prince, from Tapanooly, to Sir T. S. Rafiles, 
in 1819, from which the above generic de- 
scription is taken. I have since had an 
opportunity of. seeing these noble trees in 
their native forests, but not at the time of 
flowering, and I am informed that they do 
not bear above once in three or four years - 
Mr. Colebrooke's description in the Asiatic 
Researches, of the tree and fruit, 1s so com- 
plete, that I cannot do better than copy it. 
“Trunk arboreous, Bark brownish. 
Leaves superior alternate, inferior ones 
opposite ; elliptic, obtusely acuminate, pa- 
rallel-veined, entire, smooth; three to seven. 
Petiole 
short. Stipules in pairs, subulate, cadu- 
cous. Perianth one-leaved, five-pa 
persistent. Capsule superior, ovate, woody, 
fibrous, finely streaked with longitudinal 
furrows, embraced at the base by the caly- 
cine hemispherical cup, and surrounded by 
its enlarged leaflets, which are converted 
into large, foliaceous, spatulate, rigid, reflex 
wings, one-celled, three-valved. Seed so- 
litary, conform to the cavity of the capsule. 
Integument simple, thin, membranaceous, - 
thickened along one side, and thence pene- 
trating to the axis, and continued between 
Pen- 
smooth without, wrinkled within; 
terior one much smaller, wrinkled on both 
sides, uniform or round, cordate (as is the 
exterior one, if its folds be expanded). p 
Plumule simple, conical, two-leaved. Ra- 
dicle near the summit towards the > 
columnar, a little curved, and ending ina ES 
short conical lip; ascending. - As. Ras
