Var. y. sclerophylloides, a low shrub, 3-4 ft. higli, more or less branched, 

 the younger parts densely rusty-coloured villous ; leaves very variable in 

 shape on the same branch, the lower ones usually ovate-oblong, np to nearly 

 one foot long, the upper and uppermost ones gradually smaller and narrow- 

 er, from ovate to lanceolate, doubly and sometimes bristly serrate, acumi- 

 nate, scabrous or thinly pubescent above, beneath more or less stellate- 

 pubescent or almost tomentose ; bracteoles linear-lanceolate, acuminate, 

 pubescent externally, longer or as long as the flower-buds ; petals a line 

 long, the lamina acuminate, pubescent outside ; drupes deeply 4-lobed, often 

 remaining sparingly hirsute during ripeness. A laterite form. 



Hab. Var. a. Pegu (Col. Eyre) ; var. yS. not unfrequent in the upper 

 mixed forests of the Pegu Yomah ; var. y. frequent in the open, especially 

 the low and Eng forests of Pegu, Prome and Martaban. Fl. May. 



A very variable plant of which I entertained some hope of being able 

 to separate var y. (which is also a common Assam plant) specifically. It 

 resembles in size of flowers (r. sclerophylla, but the deeply 4-lobed 

 drupes at once separate it.
