jointed. Flowers 4 in.; perianth-tube as long as the lobes. Fruit 2 in. long, very 
shortly pedicelled, obtuse, quite smooth and even.—The Andaman specimens have 
much longer and more coriaceous leaves, 6-7 in. long, and a more turgid fruit; they 
may prove specifically distinct, 
7. C. enervis, Hook. f. ; branchlets slender and leaves quite glabrous, 
leaves 4-5 in. elliptic-lanceolate caudate-acuminate base narrowed into the 
slender petiole subglaucous beneath, nerves 6-8 pair very faint on both 
surfaces, fruit globose.

green, smooth and even above when dry with faintly raised obliquely arching nerves, 
vpet brown beneath, with very faint nerves and obsolete nervules; petiole j in. 
Panicles apparently slender and shorter than the leaves. Fruit 4 in. diam., smooth, 
even, not shining, with an obtuse very short tip.—A very distinct species, without 
Owers, remarkable for the slender branches and very faint nerves of the leaf. 
8. C. Kurzii, Hook.f; branchlets slender black and leaves glabrous, 
leaves shortly petioled 4-8 in. oblong or linear-oblong or -oblanceolate 
obtusely acuminate smooth and shining above, glancous brown beneath,
