Natural order Tiliaceas.
A shrub or small t r e e ; young shoots scabrous with stellate hairs; branches terete,
sparsely stellately hairy; leaves rather thickly membranous, scabrous, ovate-lanceolate
acuminate, finely subaqually serrate, base rounded 3-nerved, central nerve with 3—5 pairs
of slightly arching nerves; sparsely stellate-hairy above, densely stellate-hairy especially
on the nerves beneath; length 10—15 cm., width 6—7 cm.; petiole 6 mm., stellately
h a i r y ; cymes axillary, pednncled, umbellate, few-flowered; peduncles 8—12 mm.
long, pedicels nearly as long, in fruit elongated and attaining 15 mm., bracts
triangular lanceolate, 5 mm. long, stellate-hairy outside, striate within; buds obovate,
striate, 6 mm. long, 4-5 mm. wide; sepals 10 mm. long, lanceolate; petals ovatelanceolate,
4'5 mm, long; torus densely adpressed rusty tomentose, cylindric, 3'5 mm.
l o n g ; fruit a 2- or 1-lobed drupe, subtesselately rugose with lenticular swellings each
crowned by a stellate h a i r ; lobes suborbicular, 7'5 mm. long and broad and 6 mm.

The collectors describe the flowers as yellow. The leaves of this species most
closely resemble those of the Burmese species Grewia microstcnma, but the margins
are more finely toothed than in that; plant. The flowers are quite unlike those of
G. microstemma and most closely approach those of G. oppositifolia though the torus
is considerably longer than in that species. Tlie fruits are very distinctive and approach
most nearly to, though they are still widely different from, those of G. umbelU/era
Bedd. {G. capitata Dalz.), next to which species the present one must be placed. I am
indebted to Mr. Duthie for the discovery that this very distinct species is the
same as G. deniiculata Wall., which, after having recognised it as a distinct species
its author unfortunately merged in his own G. scahrida.
