This does not agree with D. unclulata, Wall., of which Hiern, in Trans. Camb. Phil. 
Soo. XII. 215, makes it a variety. It comes much nearer to, but is smaller in all its 
parts than, the plant named by us D. Wallichii , which was originally issued as 
D. macrophylla, Wall. Cat. 4141. 
11. Diospyros clavigera, Clarke in Hook. fil. FI. Br. Ind. III. 558 
(1882). A tree ; all parts glabrous except the minutely pilose-ciliate margin 
of the calyx. Leaves alternate, coriaceous, elliptic, tapering slightly 
to each end (sub-rhomboidal) ; both surfaces warm brown when dry, the 
upper glabrous, shining, the lower dull ; main-nerves 6 or 7 pairs, 
little curved, ascending, slightly prominent on the lower surface, faint 
on the upper ; length 3'25 to 4-5, breadth 1-5 to 2-15 in. ; petioles -15 
to - 2 in. Male flowers 3 to 16 together in small sub-sessile axillary and 
extra-axillary cymes. Calyx -15 in. long, deeply divided into 4 obtuse 
lobes. Corolla (in bud) -35 in. long, clavate, glabrous outside, the 
upper part very thick, 4-lobed. Stamens about 16, glabrous ; anthers

12. Diospyros bilocularis, Oliver in Hook. Ic. PI. t. 2336 (1894). 
A glabrous tree 60 to 80 feet high ; young branches about the thickness 
of a goose-quill, dark purplish when dry and shining, slightly striate. 
Leaves thickly coriaceous ; elliptic, sub-acute, the base slightly cuneate, 
the edges (when dry) recurved ; both surfaces olivaceous when dry, the
