 pedicellis '25 poll, longis. Flores *3 poll, tantum loDgis. Drupae *4 

 poll, longae, '25 poll, latae. 



A very distinct species not before represented in Herb. Calcutta or 

 in Herb. Kevv ; the affinity, Dr. Stapf has been kind enough to note at 

 Kew, is with Alangium Faberi Oliv., a species not present at Calcutta.

 radicans adscendens vel 0; folia elliptico-oblonga, apice acuta basi 

 cuneata, petiolis brevibus parce puberulis, laminis nervis subtus parce 

 puberulis, ceterum utrinque glaberrimis, stipulis e basi trianguli fili-

 tubo angustato. 



Very similar to 0. lurida Hook. fil. from the Eastern Himalaya in 

 size and habit, and no doubt related to that species. The bracts are 

 however different and the corollas are smaller and much narrower.
