Xylopia parvifolia, Hook, f. & Thom. (Patonia parvifolia, Wight. Unona tripetaloidea, Moon). Netawu. Atuketiya. A tall aromatic tree of Ceylon, with a straight trunk, smoothish bark, and silky shoots and young branches: lvs. oval, acuminate, acute at the base, 3-5 in. long, glabrous; petiole 1/4 in. finely pubescent: fls. axillary, solitary or in clusters of 2 or 3 on very short peduncles bearing several short imbricated scale-like bracteoles; calyx-divisions small, broad, united half-way up, acute, pubescent; petals hairy, the outer ones linear, strap-shaped, acute, hollowed at the base: the inner a little shorter, thick, trigonous, expanded and hollowed at the base, covering the essential parts; stamens truncate; carpels 5, sunk in the center of the receptacle; ovules 4-6 in two rows: fruiting carpels 1-4 on very short thick stalks, broadly ovoid, 1 – 1 1/2 in. long, containing several smooth brown oblong seeds.—This species is common in the moist low country near Colombo, Ceylon. Its bark, especially that of the root, its yellow fls., and the fr. are all delightfully sweet-scented and aromatic, and are chewed by the natives with their betel. The wood is yellowish gray and soft. Two other Ceylon trees with fragrant yellow fls. are X. nigricans, with the calyx-divisions divided almost to the base; and X. Championii, with blunt ovoid fl.-buds.
