I have seen no specimens of this, which with the leaves of P. Emblica differs, ac- 
cording to Kurz, in the wrinkled fissured bark, the styles, and large fruit.

Very similar to P. Emblica, but differing in the scurfy rusty branchlets and form 
of the fruit. .

the island. 
Branches terete, strict. Leaves 1—1 in. broad, base rounded or subcordate, nerves 
6-8 pair; stipules ovate-lanceolate, entire. Male fl. py in. diam; sepals 6, oblong ; 
disk-glands fleshy ; anthers not apiculate. Fem. jl. twice as large, disk annular. 
Fruit 1 in. diam., depressed. Seeds flat on the opposed faces, convex on the other.— 
There is some confusion about this plant. Wight figures the styles as free and sess1 °, 
and the anthers as cohering and crowned witn a prolonged connective, none 9 " $4 
characters do I find. Mueller describes the stylar column as slender, with 3 We 
slender 2-fid arms, and the anthers as shortly apiculate. I find the stylar cole ong 
and stout, and the anthers hardly apiculate and quite free. Mueller further cites epi " 
as a habitat, and Don's P. fazifolius as a synonym, which plant has puberes, 
branches, and is, I should think, P. Emblica. I find no difference between Muel "p 
P. emblicoides and polyphyllus. Dalzell’s P. polyphyllus is no doubt Mueller’s £- 
Lawü. Beddome erroneously unites P. Lawii with polyphyllus.
