DeCandf)lte*B 0. i»i€gerrimat piihlishcd in 182S, ia in my opinion merely the ett- 
tire-leaTed fonn of thia very common iKdiau tree, tlio lenvf's of wliich nro aometimea 
&eTra1at€ nnd BumDtimeaentiro. f t is a tree which Boxbargh could not possibly linve 
overlooked. Uo published and fignred tho fiernilate-lonveil form of it as C. lacida 
in his Coromandel Planta (1819), having prevbasly given tho mime in hia iTortna 
Beogalonsvst p- 92. In the belief that C. iMrttlu ist the ohlost tinme for this plant, 
1 have followed Korz in restoring it. DeCandollc's name tufqjern'jua is however 
adopted hy Mr. Benthfim, and alao by Mr, Uensluw who described the Rhizophnreie^ 
in Hooker's Flora of British Uidiiu

The specimetis collected hj Scortechini are deacribod by him &a taken from a 
ehrab 5 or 6 feet high, while thoge collected by Mr. Kmistler are noted aa from a 
tree 30M1O feet in height, Thoy lesomble each other esactly both in flowerB and 
leareSt and I have no dmibt whatever that the two belong to the aame species. I 
give this speciea & name with cousidorable hegitation ; for it does not differ muck 
from Rosbtirgh'a description of C. lanctcfolin. It atao closely resembles C eHJtpirfafa, 
Bhimej, in leaves, bot hiia larger flowei"*.
