This is very dietinot by reason of its leaves and (Irom. Mr, Baker's deaoription) 
on account of its atipitatij pod. Dr. Wallich'a original specimenfi from Silhet and 
Fenang seem undoubtedlj examplea of one epeoies ; strangely, it has not been Bent 
again to Calcutta from either looality.

Thia evidently quite common apeciea has never yet been reported in fruit. It 
appears from a note in Herb. Calcutta that Mr. Karz had euppoBcd it might be the 
eame aa 3. macnypterus Miq. j the flowcra, however, differ slightly and, in their vena- 
tion, the leaves of the two apeoies diffur markedly. Father Scortochini on the other 
hand thought when he collected it that this njight be Det ris {Aganope) macropbylla^ a 
reasonable aappoaition in the absence of fruit since the flowers of Spatholnbii^t are

apparently total ab&euce,. of etipelB from the leaves of this apeoiea leads to their heing
