A medium sized timber tree. Flowers in cymes 

 of 100 or less, small, white with brown spots, open- 

 ing during the night, when they are dehciously 

 fragrant. Capsules large, woody and pear-shaped. 

 Not uncommon in Coorg and probably extending 

 to parts of the Malnad. Beddome says the wood is 

 hard, close-grained, heavy and durable ; also that it 

 is used for looms and other articles by the people, 

 and that it is well suited for the lathe. Forest 

 officials would do well to collect fuller information 

 as to the distribution and growth of this species. 

 Herbarium specimens would also be acceptable at 

 head quarters. Cultivation unknown, but most 

 likely confined to the hills. 



363 Linociera malabarica, Wall. 



A small tree of the Western Ghats. L. intermedia, 

 Wight, is possibly found on the same range. The 

 local merits of these -trees are practically unknowa. 



364 bleaglandulifera, Wall and O. dioica, Roxb. 

 Nothing special can be said about these trees at 



present, further than that they exist in the ever- 

 green forests of the western frontier. The Europe 

 olive, Olea Europea, Linn, has been cultivated in the 

 Lal-Bagh for 30 years, but has not fruited during 

 that time. 



365 Ligustrum robustum, Blume. 



One of the Indian privets. Cultivated in the Lai- 

 Bagh, but never attaining to the size of a tree. The 

 cre|my-white flowers are sweet scented and very 



useful for table decoration.
