Moluccas Cordia. Tree. 
13 C. romentosa (Wall. in Roxb. fl. ind. 2. p. 339.) leaves 
round-ovate, more or less cordate at the base, repand, entire, 
smooth above, but very soft and tomentose beneath; calyx 
ovate, villous within. h.S. Native of the East Indies. C. 
obliqua, var. Heyne, herb. The densely tomentose, soft, acute 
leaves distinguish this species from C. Myza, of which C. 
obliqua, Willd. is probably only a variety. C. doméstica, Roth, 
comes very near to this, but differs in the figure and comparative 
smoothness of the leaves. The flowers are largish. 
Tomentose Cordia. Tree. 
14 C. CorrocóccaA (Lin. spec. 274.) leaves oblong-ovate, 
quite entire; corymbs loose, terminal, somewhat panicled ; 
calyx tomentose inside. h . S. Native of Jamaica. C. glabra,

the base, acuminated, wrinkled, nearly glabrous. Branches of 
corymb unequal. Corolla middle-sized, with deep green seg- 
ments.  Drupe red, clammy, villous, containing a wrinkled, 
lacunose putamen. Turkeys and other poultry feed much upon 
the fruit; the pulp is sweetish, and of a clammy consistence.

berry tree, ex Browne.

Leaves sessile, green, pilose on both surfaces. Corymbs beset

rola white, having the tube thickened at the throat. This 
species differs from C. collocócca in the characters given above, 
and in the narrower leaves ; coarctate subumbellate corymbs, 
not dichotomous and divaricate ; and in the white, oblique, 
acuminated fruit. The stamens are exserted.

aceous, glabrous; racemes terminal, dichotomous, compound,

av0oc, anthos, a flower. The flowers are small compared with 
those of the preceding section.) Cham. et Schlecht in Linnea,

476.) leaves on short petioles, cuneated at the base, elliptic, 
acuminated, acute, mucronate, entire, rarely furnished with an 
accessary tooth near the acumen, rather coriaceous, with re- 
flexed margins, quite glabrous in the adult state, but when

giate, composed of 3-5 tri-dichotomous branches; calyx pilose

lyx: segments narrow-elliptic, obtuse, one-half longer than

21 C. prospyriréria (Cham. et Schlecht, 1. c. p. 477.) leaves 
on short petioles, elliptic or obovate, sometimes oblong, attenu- 
ated at the base, and acute, undulated on the margins, bluntly 
acuminated at the apex, mucronate, rather coriaceous, beset with 
a few scattered hairs on both surfaces, shining beneath, and 
more opaque above; panicles expanded, convex, on short or 
long peduncles, more pilose towards the top; calyx pilose out- 
side and inside, usually 5-cleft; tube of corolla cylindrical ; 
stamens shorter than the segments of the corolla. h. S. 
Native of the south of Brazil, Sello. This species is nearly 
allied to the preceding, but differs from it in the leaves being 
smaller, elliptic, or obovate, beset with scattered hairs on both 
surfaces; in the stamens being about equal in length to the 
segments of the corolla, not exceeding them.
