almost winged ascending or spreading 6-8 inches long, stipules subulate rigid coriaceous striated glabrous 4 6 lines long, leaves 1 -foliate 
narrow lanceolate downy when very young soon perfectly glabrous, 3|-5 inches long by 8-12 lines broad, hard coriaceous with a thick¬ 
ened margin and a mucro, primary veins very numerous thick and prominent and much raised on both sides, petioles from 3 lines to 4 
inches long flattened and 4 angled articulated at the apex just below the leaf and there furnished with 2 subulate stipels and often a 
few hairs, no trace of lateral leaflets, racemes terminal elongated flat and winged or acutely angled, pedicels 3-6 lines long pubescent 
in flower glabrous in fruit, furnished with a subulate bract at the base, calyx and corol slightly pubescent calycine teeth very subulate 
equal, corol purplish-red scarcely J inch long, upper stamen free to the middle, style glabrous, stigma pencilled, legume 2J-2| inch 
long by 2J-3 lines broad crowned with the curved style 6-9 seeded. 
I have only found this very curious species on the dry rocky hills above the Guzzlehutty pass on the eastern side of the 
Nilgiris 3000 feet elevation, its leaves are very beautiful.

TODDALIA B1LOCULARIS. (WA.) A middling sized very glabrous unarmed tree up to 3 feet in girth, with very dense 
foliage, direcious, leaves trifoliate up to 12-14 inches long of which the common petiole is about 4 inches, leaflets entire oblong slightly 
attenuated at the base, to elliptic, ending in a bluntly pointed acumination, 6-10 inches long by 2-3f broad, pellucid-dotted penniveiued, 
primary veins prominent and nearly at right angles with the costa and joined near the margin by a continuous looped vein, petiolules 
equal in length about \ inch long, panicles terminal or from the upper axils much shorter than the common petiole, flowers 4-5 Hues in 
diameter greenish-yellow, calyx gamosepalous, in the 2 petaled flowers an entire thickened ring, more or less 3 lobed in the 3 petaled 
flowers, petals 2-3 very much larger than the calyx more or less concave pellucid dotted slightly imbricate, stamens 6 ; in the male 
flowers rudiment of the ovary 2 fid, iu the female, stamens small effete, ovary large oblong crowned with a very large peltate stigma, 
2 celled, cells 2 ovuled, fruit oblong size of a small gooseberry pellucid dotted. Toddalia ? bilocularis, IF.4. Prod.p. 149. Dipetalum

This is common in the Annamallay forests, particularly in the dense moist forests in the interior on the banks of the Sholay 
ar (a large river) 2500-3000 feet elevation, where it grows to be a tree of considerable size and very beautiful on account of its dense 
dark green foliage. I found many female trees iu flower and fruit last March, but did not succeed in getting male flowers, and I believe 
the male trees were not in flower ; the analysis which only represents female flowers and fruit, was taken from fresh specimens, 3 petaled 
flowers were common and in the proportion of 1 to 4 of the 2 petaled ones.
