 No. 1464 was a fairly large upright tree, with many defoliated twigs growing at 

 right angles from the larger branches. This was found growing by itself in an 

 open space, but can hardly be held to be varietally distinct. 



" A common plant in mixed thickets, often reaching a considerabl size. There 

 are at least two flowering seasons, one in April, another in the rains." 



Distrib. — From Bengal to the Coromandel Coast and the Circars. 



116. P. latifolia Roxb. var. cuneata CI. F.B.I, iv, 577. 

 Loc. — Barkuda. No. 1314- 



Tree common in sandy area. 



Distrib. — According to Clarke's definition given in F.B.I, var. cuneata seems to 

 be confined to Burma, while the Madras var. is said to be mollissima, the only difference 

 being the smaller size of the flowers. 



117. P. latifolia Roxb. var. viburnoides Wall. F.B.I, iv, 578. 1224. 

 Loc. — Barkuda. No. 1361, 1223, 1224. 



It is said to be distinguished from the other forms of P. latifolia by its green 

 colour when dry instead of the characteristic blue-black. Clarke suggests that it 

 may be a distinct species. 



"Its flowers have a strong smell but this is by no means peculiar to the 

 variety."
