Tlie leaves of this species so much resemble those of ^. calophylla 
Wall., that its author, who had very scanty material to work with, 
expressed sojne doubt whether it should not bo considered as a variety 
of til at species, rather than as a distinct one. An examination of 
naraerons specimens with good flowers and ripe fruit, shows however 
that it is perfectly distinct from Z, calophyUa. Its calyx differs in 
fact very much from that of any other Asiiitic species of this genns 
known to me, iuaamuch as the lobes are coriaceous, cucullate, conni- 
vent and lined by a pale membrane,
