Not illustrated. 1879 Excerpt: ...coriaceous and mucilaginous; cotyledons very thick.--Distrib. Himalaya, Malay Peninsula, China, Japan. I cannot distinguish Eriobotrya from Photinia, except by the inflorescence; all the other characters given by Decaisne break down amongst the species enumerated under it; thus the petals are contorted in all but elliptica and japonica, and their claws are glabrous in several; the styles are only two in all but the above, and one other, which has 3 styles; the crown of, the ovary is glabrous in E. dubia, and I do not find the calyptriform process of the placenta in any but japonica; but I have not examined all for this character, and it is one difficult to detect in dry specimens.

E. petlolata, Hook, f.; robust, leaves 6-9 in. long-petioled ellipticlanceolate acuminate thickly coriaceous entire or obtusely serrate glabrous beneath, nerves 12-14 pair, inflorescence clothed with appressed tomentum, flowers pedicelled, calyx-lobes rounded, 9tyles 2. E. elliptica, Herb. Lnd. Or. H. f. $ T.; Dene. Mem. Fam. Pom. 146 m part. Eastern Himalaya; Sikkim, alt. 5-9000 ft. Bhotan at Tongsa, Griffith. A tree; branchlets glabrous.

Calyx-tube short, obconic; lobes also short, semicircular. Petals contorted, orbicular, concave, claw glabrous.--Misled by the provisional naming of the Indian collections distributed by Dr. Thomson and myself, Decaisne has included this under E. elliptica, from which it differs entirely in the longer petioles, appressed almo...
