COMMENTARY ON 
Hindwi and Beogalese languages, and Sa:'n-bho Sa-r£ek in 
that of Ava. This want of distinction is of no great con- 
sequence, as both species possess the same qualities ; nor in 
this respect would the plant of Kumphius appear to differ 
in any material point. I shall, however, give an account 
of this third species, hitherto little known, although in the 
woods of Gangetic India it is a very common tree.
