Branchleis terete, compressed. Leaves 5-8 by 2J-3J in., coriaceous, reticulate 

 beneath ; petiole ^ in. Branches of infiorescence lax, quadrangular, many-flowered, 

 bracteate. — A specimen in the Kew Herbarium under this name (I can find no type- 

 specimens) is certainly Wallich's S. speciosum. Roxburgh's incomplete description 

 and unfinished drawing (No. 2510) as far as they go agree fairly well with this latter. 

 The flowers are sometimes 6-merous.

Large tree ; branchlets terete or subcompressed, white. Leaves 4^-6i in., turning 

 black or reddish when dried ; lateral nerves slender, uniting distinctly within the mar- 

 gin ; petiole about \ in. ? Panicles on longish peduncles, but felling short of the 

 leaves. — Closely allied to the preceding. The leaves are of a thinner texture, the 

 stamens longer, and the sepals and petals larger (Kurz).

A large shrub or tree. Leaves 2-3 in., rounded at the base, smooth and 

 polished above, often glaucous, with a longish slender but obtuse acumen ; lateral 

 nerves not very distinct, uniting close within the margin; petiole ^-\ in. Peduncles 

 equalling the petioles or shorter. " Berries slightly depressed at the apex, purple- 

 black when ripe " (Maingay MS.). — Wallich's E. conoinna, which I refer here doubt- 

 fully, has the leaves rather longer and more oblong ; the petals appear to be free 

 though not expanding ; the specimens however are too incomplete for a proper deter- 

 mination. 



Yae. rostrata; leaves with a long slender acumen more prominently nerved, 

 lateral nerves spreading out towards the margin, petiole longer, calyx nearly truncate. 

 — The leaves which remain green after drying resemble those of E. verecunda. 

 E. rostrata, Bedd. MS. — AnamaUays. Perhaps a distinct species.
