out. Drupe J In. diam., globose, glabrous. — Brandis and Kurz consider this the same 

 as P. tomentosa ; but the rounded shoulders of the leaves, and the brachiate panicles 

 give it a very different aspect ; and the drupe marks it a di8tinct,species. The Javan 

 P. tomentosa, Blume (Bijd. 816), is nearly allied to this. 



19. P. beng'alensls, Clarke; leaves ovate or narrowly elliptic acumi- 

 nate entire mature stellately pubescent on the nerves, corymbs spreading 

 stellately pubescent or tomentose, calyx shortly 6-toothed. C. longifoUa, 

 Wall. Cat. 1771 ; Sehauer in DC. Prodr. xi. 634

 Tbbai, AssiM and Cacfak; Wallich, Oriffith (KewDistrib. n. 6029), &c. 



A large shrub, or a tree, 30 ft. ; shoots stellately tomentose. Leaves 8 by 3i in.,

 the surface beneath or glabrous except the 7-8 pair of nerves ; petiole 1 in. Corymb 

 4-8 in. diam., closely stellate-tomentose without any patent hairs ; bracts J in., 

 linear. Cali/x Jj in. Corolla \-^ in., 2-lipped, yellowish or greenish white, throat 

 hairy. Drupe ^\ in., globose or somewhat ohovoid- — This has been supposed to 

 be P. puhescens, Blume, in which the leaves are described as repand-toothed, and the 

 pubescence of the corymb as simple. 



20. P. punduana, Watt. Oat. 2651 ; leaves elliptic acuminate entire 

 nerves stellately tomentose, panicle-branches elongate raoeme-like, calyx
