1. S. villosa, Roxb. Horfc. Beug. 50. A tree 30 to 60 feet high : 
young branches thick, their apices tawny-toraentose and enveloped

minutely tomentose; length and breadth from 12 to 18 inches : petiole 
deciduously densely pubescent, about as 4ong as the blade : stipules 
ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, with cordate bases, pubescent, sub-caducous.

as the tube, yellowish with purple fundus, veined, puberulous outside 
especially towards the base, almost glabrous inside. Male flower; 
staminal column longer than the calyx-tube, slightly curved, quite gla- 
brous, bearing at its apex 10 sub-sessile anthers with thick connective 
and 2 divergent cells. Female flower ; gynophore glabrous, thickened 
above ; ovaries 5, conjoined, tomentose ; styles conjoined, puberulous,
