266 cxxxv. EUPHORBIACER. (J.D. Hooker.) [Euphorbia 
E. Pepuvs, Linn. ; Wall. Cat. 7706, from Roxburgh, is a specimen of the true 
plant, no doubt introduced into India. 
E. prostrata, Ait. Hort. Kew, ii. 139.—Engelmann (in Torrey, Bot. Mex. Bound. 
Exped.) says of this American species, that it is found in India; but I have seen no 
specimen, nor does Boissier, who figures it well (Euphorb. Ic. t. 17), mention it as 
Indian. Itisa native of W. Africa and the Mauritius. It closely resembles E. 
microphylla, differing in the ciliate keel of the cocci. 
E. PRUNIFOLIA, Jaeq. Hort. Schanb. iii. t. 277; Wall. Cat. 7690, from the 
Calcutta Bot. Garden, is an American plant (E. geniculata, Ortega; Boiss. m DC. 
Prodr. xv. ii. 72). 
E. PYRIFOLIA, Lamk. Dict. ii. 419 ; Wail. Cat. 7084, from the Calcutta Bot. 
Garden, is a native of Mauritius. 
E. (Anisophyllum) TENUIS, Ham. in Don Prodr. 62 ; annual, stems decumbent 
much dichotomously branched pubescent, leaves opposite petioled entire ovate-oblong 
obtuse pubescent beneath, floral lanceolate acute, limb of the glands entire rounded, 
capsule trigonous pubescent.—Nepal, at Bassaria, Hamilton. . 
E. (Anisophyllum) vNIFLORA, Row. Fl. Ind. ii. 473; annual, stems diffuse, di- 
chotomous, filiform, leaves sublinear, base obliquely -cordate tip serrulate, involucres 
solitary, capsule glabrous.—Frequent in fields, Roxburgh. Dalzell's plant of this 
name (Bomb. Fl. 227) is E. microphylla, Heyne. 
2. SARCOCOCCA, Lindi. 
Evergreen glabrous shrubs. Leaves alternate, coriaceous, quite entire, 
penni- or triple-nerved. Flowers in short axillary racemes, moncecious, 
apetalous, bracteate. Disk 0. Mate ru. Sepals 4, 2-seriate, imbricate, 
Stamens as many and opposite them; free; anthers dorsifixed, oblong, at 
length recurved, Fem. FL. Sepals 4 or 6, as in the male. Ovary 2-* 
celled; styles short, erect, entire, at length recurved; ovules 2 in each cell, 
raphe dorsal. Fruit indehiscent, coriaceous or fleshy, endocarp. hare 
Seeds 1-2, testa membranous, albumen fleshy ; cotyledons broad.— Specie? 
2-3, Indian and Malayan.

A handsome shrub; branches green, terete. Leaves and their nervation e 
variable, 1-5 in. long, sometimes caudate-acuminate, base acute or rounded; pu 
i-b in. Racemes lax- or dense-fld., 1-8 in. long, female fl. below the males ; e of 
of the male bracteate and usually 2-bracteolate; bracts very variable in pisi 
the fem, fl, more numerous, decussate. Flowers yellow, } in. long. Sepals s 
obtuse. Stamens twice as long. Fruit very variable in size and shape, rarely $ all 
long, purple.— After a long study I am obliged (following Herb. Wallich) to unt 
the Indian forms under one species. I recognize the following principal varieties.
