turn. Fcemininum saepe in eadem cum masculino axilla posi- 
tum, magnitudine nucis juglandis globosum. 
M. Calyx monophyllus, cyathiformis, ore irregulari dehis- 
cens. Filamentura imicum, teres, calyce duplo longius. An- 
thera parva, rotunda. 
F. Germina plurima, teretia, pilosa. Styli brevissimi. Stig- 
mata acuta. 
Fructum non vidi. 
In the part of the country north from Malabar, I found 
a tree very nearly allied to that above described, and, in 
Tulava, called Pe Jaca; but I did not see any part of 
its fructification. Its leaves were very scabrous above, and 
very slightly indented on the edges. Notwithstanding this, 
I am, however, inclined to think, that it may be the same 
with the Chama of the Bengalese, which I found on the 
hills near Goyalpara, and which is probably the same with 
the Chaplasha of Chatigang, which I sent to Dr Roxburgh 
in the year 1798, but of which I preserved no description. 
The following is an account of the Chama. 
Artocarpus Chama foliis plantae adultae integris, subrotundis, 
basi emarginatis, utrinque hispidis ; araentis masculinis 
orbiculatis, compressis. 
Artocarpis Chaplasha, Hort. Beng. 66} 
Chama Bengalensium. 
Habitat in Camrupae orientalis sylvis. 
Arbor excelsa, lactescens. Ramuli terete.?, annulati, hispidi. 
Folia decidua, alterna, subrotunda, basi profunda emarginata, 
mucronata, integerrima, utrinque hispida, supra et scabra, cos- 
tata, reticulatissima : plantis junioribus maxima, pinnatifido- 
sinuata, serrata. Petiolus brevissimus, depressus, hispidus. Sti- 
pulae gemmacese, geminse, carinatae, deciduae, pilis sericeis pu- 
bescentes, foliis in gemm£3e conduplicatis. 
Pedunculus masculinus, quatenus ego vidi, ex axilla folii 
anni praeteriti, unde facie infrafoliaceus, flore multo longior, 
teres, solitarius, hispidus, erectus. Amentum suborbiculatum, 
magnitudine cerasi compressum. Pedunculus foemininus mas- 
culine similis, amento gubrotundo corapresso obliquo.
