Leaves linear-lanceolar, entire, smooth ; veins nearly diverging.  Panicles terminal, (large and highly coloured,) composed of a few, decompound, expanding branches.  Umur-kulli,the vernacular name at Silhet, where the shrub is indigenous, and one of the most desirable species of the genus I have yet met with.  It is in flower and seed the greatest part of the year.  Trunk erect, with numerous, smooth, expanding branches and branchlets ; general height, in its native soil, about twelve feet.  Leaves alternate, short-petioled, linear-lanceolar, entire, acute, veins parallel, and nearly diverging from the rib, about six or seven inches long, and about two broad.  Floral leaves minute.  Panicles terminal, solitary, very large; composed of several large, compound and decompound branches; all of which with their sub-divisions are smooth, and of a pretty deep, bright red colour.  Bractes lanceolate.  Calyx, corol, &c. as in the family.  Berries somewhat oblate, smooth, succulent, red, size of a pea.  Seed solitary, of a deep yellow in the base.  Perisperm conform to the seed, very hard, some small rust-coloured specks on the surface, which in some places penetrate a little.  Embryo transverse, serpentine, &c. as in Gaertner’s Anguillaria, i. 372. t.77.’  [Roxburgh FI vol.1 p520/1832].
