1. Ptbbnandra CffiRULESCENS, Jack in Mai. Misc, II, 61. A tree; 
young branches cylindric with decidnoas, dark-brown, glabrous bark and 
slightly thickened nodes with obscure transverse ridges. Leaves 
cbartaceoas or sub-coriaceoue* broadly ovate, ovate-knceolate, ovate- 
oblong or elliptic, mach narrowed at the base, the apex shortly 
acuminate, 3-5 - nerved ; both sm'faces glabrous; leugtli 2'5-5 in. (10 
in, in var. 2) ; breadth l"25-2'5 in., (to 5 in. in var. 2) petiole 'J- 2 in. 
Flowers iif short, axillary, pedunculate cymea (often several from one 
axil)i or in terminal cymes, shorter than the leaves. Calyx-luhe 
cylindnc-campanulate, '15 in. long, tesselate; the mouth ti'QUcale but 
with 4 small, erect, triangular teeth. Petals tliick, orato, reflcxed after 
expansion. Stamens 8, equal in length ; the lilaments short, geniculate ; 
perfect antbera 4 or 5, broadly ovate, blunt, shortly spurred behind, tlie 
remaining 3 or 4 imperfect, as long as but much narrower than the 
perfect. F^-uit turbinate or sub-heniispheric, truncate, nearly etoootb,

In all the proviuces except the Andaman Islands. 
A common and variable [jlant of which four forms eeom worthy of separation ng 
varieties. These, however, pasa into each othor by nuinerouB connecting specimens. 
One variety (Jacftiana) differs from tho typical-plant iu having fow-flowcred almost 
aeseile cyniea j a second (cajiiteUata) has Bub-sessile cymea and mucb larger loaves 
and the third (pamciilata) is probably only an example of faaciation. 
Vak. 1. Jackiana, Clarke in FL Br. Ind. II, 551. Flowers in yeij 
short, few-fiowered, almost sessile, axillary cymes. Leaves as iu the 
typical form but with slightly longer petioles. 
In all the -provinces except the Andaman and Nicobitr Islande, 
equally abundant with the typical form.
