ScJiima, GrifF. No. 768 Las the peduncles of the above, but the leaves 

 very much resemble those of ScJ/. ohlata, I think that they are abnormal 

 and produced after an unusual fall of leaves.

Hab. Tenasserim (Helf. 761) ; common in the Eng forests of the lower 

 bills of Tenasserim and Martaban, also in the pine forests up to 3000 ft. 

 elevation. (Dr. Brandis.) 



The differences between the species of Scliima are very slight, but the 

 logical consequence of the reduction of an}'" of the above forms would be suck 

 a combination as Sch. NoronJicd and 8ch. Wallichii.

I fear that I am wrong in my identification and, unfortunately, the only 

 two withered flowers met with by me have been lost by the glue-men. It 

 has much larger and shorter acuminate leaves, and the habit of C. assimilis 

 as figured by Seemann. It is a small tree with white wood. N. B. C. 

 Jafonica, L., is often met with in gardens of Europeans.
