IN CEYLON. 
503 
The discoloured leaves fall rapidly in the last week of 
February ; new leaves appear by the 3rd of March, and from 
that date the production of new foliage keeps pace with the 
fall of the old leaf, and by the first week in April a new 
outfit of foliage has been obtained. It undergoes annual 
defoliation, but on account of the absence of a leafless phase 
is often regarded as an evergreen.
