T liese two shrubs are easily distinguished from each other. The first species is by 
lar the strongest, grow ing sometimes to a gigantic size. I brought specimens dow n 
w ith me, for the Honourable East India Company's Museum, of a trunk, as thick as a 
good sized arm. Its leaves are broad, ovate, either ternate or quinate, about as long as 
the common petiol; t he flowers quite w hite, collected in clusters : the berries large and 
ovate, the seeds oblong. I he second species lias long-petioled leaves; the leaflets tjroui 
seven to nine, narrow- or linear-lanceolate, scarcely two-thirds of an inch broad ; the pe¬ 
duncles few-flowered, mid the flowers attaining soon after expansion a purplish colour:
