This appears to be rather a local species, as it has
the Calcutta Garden Collector, and it does not occur

In India this is a tree 20 or 30 ft, high, with spreading umbrageous head. In the Malayan countries
it attains a height of 40 to 50 ft. Specimens from Sikkim, and from Kohima in theNaga Hills (C. B.
('larke), have more coriaceous leaves, with bold uci-vation and unusually large, rather rough, iemale
receptacles.
