Smith, was discovered by Dr. Buchanan (Hamilton) in the forests of Upper Nepal, flowering and fruiting at various seasons. Dr. Buchanan sup- posed it to be an oak ; and he describes it as being a tree with smooth branches, and leaves on short footstalks, lanceolate, more or less ovate, entire, taper- pointed, somewhat unequal at the base, about 4in. long, li in. broad ; rigid, and rather coriaceous, with irregular, distant, slightly curved veins ; the upper surface polished, and the under one paler, and opaque. The flowers are generally monoecious (though Dr. Buchanan observed one tree with only female flowers), in slender, downy, clustered, axillary or terminal spikes ; the male spikes being the more numerous. Stamens about 8, with a dotted central disk. The calyx of the finit is armed with very numerous, rigid; prominent, sharp thorns, a fourth of an inch or more in length, spreading in every direction. C. martabanica Wall. PI. As. Rar. t. 107., and out fig. 1709., has the leaves ianceolate-oblong, acuminate, quite entire, smooth, on short footstalks, acute.
