This agrees in many respects -with Miquel's description {Fl. Ind. Bat. Supp. 420) of his species A.
Dadnh, and it much resembles a leaf specimen so named in tbe Calcutta Herbarium, but tlie nerres of
the leaves join the midrib at a different angle. Miquel, moreover, describes the loaves of his Dadah as
' e bad rotit»dnUs\" -whereas, in this, the leaves ai-e markedly attenuate at tbe base. It also appears to
approach the species which Miquel nvimod Tcysmanni.

A fine tree, from 40 to 50 ft. high. For a long time confounded with the Malabar species hirsuta,
Lamk., from which it differs in the larger and erenate leaves and differently shaped female receptacles. The
male receptacles of this are, moreover, on stout erect peduncles, whereas those of hirsuta are drooping.

Glabrous in all its parts except the receptacles and stipules; young shoots rather stout, dark-coloured,
annular; leaves entire, coriaceous, ovate-lanceolate; the apes shortly and bluntly cuspidate; the base narrowed;
lateral nerves 8 to 10 pairs, rather prominent on both surfaces when dry; retioulatious obscure; length of
blade 9 to 14 inches, breadth 4'5 in. to 7 in. ; stipules in pairs, ovate-lanceolate, adpressed, fulvous-pilose,
•5 in. to '75 in. long. Eeceptacles of both sexes axillary, on peduncles from 2 to 3 in. long; male
receptacles obovate-cylindric, from -75 in. to 1 in. long and -5 to -6 in. in diameter; the male flowers
sessile; the perianth of two linear elliptic scales, slightly united by their bases, their apices entire or
bifid, filament slender, as long as the perianth, esserted for half its length; anther ovate-elliptic, its cells
parallel; reoeptacular scales numerous, sub-infundibulifoi-m, the margin entire or sub 3-lobed, ciliate,
the pedicel filiform ; female receptacles globular, tuberculate, pubescent, about 3 in. in diameter when
mature; the free apices of the anthooarps short, blunt, sub-quadrate, perforated by the filiform style;
seeds few, ovoid, -6 in. long; core woody; receptacular scales like those in the male receptacle, but
smaller and fewer in u-iimber.
A superb tree, from 60 to 80 ft. in height. Roxburgh's original description of this species occupies
only two lines, and were it not for his manuscript drawing in the Calcutta Herbarium (copied by Wi"-ht
as bis Icon. 679) it would be impossible to identify Eosburgh's plant. The drawing, however, puts the
identification beyond doubt. This species was not issued by "Wallich.
