 A tree 30 to 50 feet high ; young branches slender, and like the rachises 

 under surfaces of the leaves and inflorescence rusty-tomentose or 

 pubescent. Leaves 1 2 to 18 inches long ; leaflets 7 to 9, thinly coria- 

 ceous, oblong, shortly caudate-acuminate, minutely serrate-dentate to 

 sub-entire, the base rounded or slightly cuneate, upper surface glabrous 

 except the minutely tomentose midrib; the lower much reticulate; 

 main nerves 10 to 15 pairs, obscure above, bold beneath, curved, spread- 

 ing ; length 3 to 6 in., breadth 1'6 to 2 in. ; petiolules of lateral leaflets 

 only "2 to "3 in., those of the terminal one twice as long. Stipules reni- 

 form, densely tomentose outside, "35 in. long, and about *5 in. broad. 

 Panicles terminal, rather slender, 10 to 18 in. long, and with lateral 

 branches several inches long at the extremities of which the flowers 

 are crowded in little heads ; bracts numerous, more or less ovate or 

 oblong, rusty-tomentose, enveloping the buds. Flowers sub-sessile. 

 Calyx with 3 broad lobes. Petals oblong, sub-acute, concave, rusty- 

 tomentose outside, glabrous Avithin. Stamens 6, the narrowly oblong 

 anthers longer than ihe dilated filaments which are inserted outside 

 the disc. Disc adherent to the ovoid glabrous rudimentary ovary. 

 Female flowers unknown. Drupe elongated-ovoid, sub-trigonous, sub- 

 acute, glabrous, about 2 in. long and 1 in. in diam., the pedicel stout and 

 the persistent calyx 3-angled. Engler in DeCand. Monogr. Phanerog.

This is allied to C. rufum, A. W. Benn., but its leaflets are thinner 

 and the panicles much longer and more slender, with longer branches ; 

 and the drupe is much less distinctly trigonous. Dr. Engler has 

 founded his species C. Bennettii on Griffith's specimen No. 1141. But 

 on dissection of the flowers of the single specimen of that number in 

 the Calcutta Herbarium, I cannot find that they differ from those of 

 the same collector's No. 1145 which Engler refers to. C. secundum, 

 Bennet and I therefore venture to reduce his species to this. The
