1. C. zeylanicum, Breyn; Bedd. Sylv. Madr. t. 242.—Looleng- 
‘yaw.—An evergreen tree, all parts glabrous; leaves coriaceous, 
ovate to ovate- or lanceolate-oblong, 3- or 5-nerved, glabrous, above 
_ glossy and veined or smooth, beneath glaucous and rather densely and 
prominently net-veined, the nerves thin, somewhat prominent or 
impressed on both sides, the lateral ones evanescent towards the 
summit, the accessory ones rather obsolete, the margin simple or 
obscurely nerve-like towards the base; panicle terminal, large, 
almost silky grey, the pedicels as long as the flowers; perianth- 
receptacle enlarged, cup-shaped, truncately 6-cleft.—(According to 
Meissner.) 
Haz.—Tenasserim. 
Remarxs.—Yields the true cinnamom of commerce, the root yields camphor. 
the liber oil of cinnamom, the leaves oil of clove, and the fruit a peculiar terebin- 
ethereal oil. 
2. C. iners, Rwdt.—Looleng-kyaw.—An evergreen tree (40—60 
+ (?) +3—4), all parts glabrous; leaves lanceolate to oblong-lanceo- 
late, on a petiole about } an in. long, acute or obtuse at the base, 
4-8 in. long, bluntish acuminate, entire, coriaceous and glossy, 
strongly 3-nerved from above the base, the .net-veination more or 
less visible; flowers small, white, on more or less silvery-silky 
pedicels of the length of the perianth or somewhat longer, formmg 
slender, long-peduncled, glabrous or somewhat silky cymose panicles 
in the axils of the leaves or at the end of the branchlets; perianth 
usually silvery-silky, the segments nearly 1} lin. long, obovate- 
lanceolate ; nuts elliptically oblong, smooth, brown, nearly 3 in. 
long, 4 of which is enclosed in the thickened truncate-6-lobed cup- 
shaped perianth-receptacle.

_ Ido not know in what this species should differ from the true 
cinnamom. The aroma of the bark is variable, and the bark of the 
roots of C. obtusifolium on the Martaban hills is as aromatic as the 
best Ceylon cinnamom.
