The differences between A, Caramhola and A. Bilimhi appear to me 

 to be of generic value.

Hardly more than a form of the preceding. J. tomentosa, Heyne, is 

 stated by Hf. and Thorns, in Linn. Proc. to grow in Pegu, but the habitat 

 is omitted in Hf. Fl. Ind. It seems to be the above species, at any rate 

 the Wallichian specimens cited belong here.
