branches dark- coloured. Leaves oblong-ovate or elliptic, shortly and 
bluntly acuminate, minutely serrate; base rounded, 3-uerved; upper 
surface glabrous ; the lower pale with the transverse veins prominent 
and straight : lateral nerves about 3 pairs : length 3 to 4'5 in., breadth 
1'5 to 2 in., petiole 25 in. Umbels pedunculate, axillary or terminal, 
6 to 8-flowored ; the peduncle from "6 to 1 in. long, with a whorl of 
small lanceolate glabrous bracteoles at its apex. Flowers • 75 in. long 
when expanded ; their pedicels hirsute, unequal, from 2 to '5 in. long. 
Sepals ribbed and tomentose outside, glabrous inside, linear-oblong, 
reflexed. Petals much shorter than the sepals, oblong, each springing 
from the back of a large orbicular claw with hirsute edges. Torus long, 
ridged, tomentose. Fruit depressed-globular, obtusely 2- to 4-angled 
and with 2 to 4 shallow lobes, pericarp sparsely stellate-puberulous ; 
endocarp pulpy ; pyrene 2 to 4-celled ; its loculi 1-seeded, the endocarp 
bony. Wight 1c. 83; Wall. Cat. 1084; Mast, in Hook. fil. FI. Br. Ind.

Roxburgh has left an excellent coloured drawing of this in the

2. Grewia paniculata, Roxb. FI. Ind. ii. 591. A bushy tree 15 to 
30 feet high: young branches scurfy stellate-tomentose, ultimately 
glabrous, their bark brown. Leaves coriaceous, cuneate-obovate to 
elliptic ; the apex blunt, shortly and abruptly acuminate, sometimes 
3-lobed and unequal, obscurely serrate-dentate ; the base rounded, 3- 
nerved ; upper surface powdered with minute sparse stellate pubescence, 
the midrib and nerves tomentose : lower surface uniformly stellate- 
tomentose; the veins transverse, little curved, bold; lateral nerves 
4 or 5 pairs, ascending, rathor straight, prominent beneath : length 3 to 
6 in., breadth 15 to 2'75 in. ; petiole 25 in., tomentose : stipules glabres- 
cent, lanceolate, often united in pairs, rather shorter than the petioles. 
Panicles 2 25 to 35 in. long, terminal or axillary, rusty-tomentose ; 
bracteoles numerous, linear, sometimes bifid : branches spreading. 
Flowers '25 in. long, the pedicels rather shorter. Sepals spreading, 
concave, obovate narrowed to the base, the edges thin ; tomentose on 
the outer, pilose on the inner, surface. Petals shorter than the sepals, 
oblong, blunt, expanded at the base into a concave claw, hirsute especial- 
ly outside. Torus cup-shaped, short, the lip tomentose. Ovary ovoid, 
stellate-tomentose, 4-celled, each cell with several ovules. Fruit ob-
