This is evidently tbe most common species throughout the mountainous countries 

 north and east of Bengal, as we have before us specimens from all the collectors who 

 have visited these countries. We found it abundantly in the wooded districts of 

 SU-het and Cachar ; but, as we did not meet with it in the Khasia hills, except at the 

 very base, it is probably coniined to the lowest levels, while the two last species occm- 

 at considerable elevations. The present species is, as we have mentioned under M. 

 Wallichii, the same with a specimen from Roxburgh in the British Museum, and, as 

 it has globose fruit, there can be no reasonable doubt that it is that described in the 

 Flora Indica. It varies more than most species in the shape and size of the leaves ; 

 in one specimen in fruit they are only from two to three inches long.

The specimens in the "WaUichian herbarium, under the number quoted above, are 

 in a very imperfect state, and the leaves appear to belong to several very distinct spe- 

 cies. A portion of them, however, certainly belong to this.
