small depressed obscurely 4~5-lobed, style short conical. Wall. Cat. 7878 in 
part, and 7877 in part (in Herbs. Benth. § Hook.). 
Mazacca, Griffith (Kew Distrib. A845). 
Leaves 2-3 in., broad, rigid and pale cbove when dry, grey-brown beneath, 
glabrous above with pubescent midrib; nerves 8-12 pair, spreading, much raised 
beneath, cross-nervules rather distant; petiole very short and stout; stipules oblong, 
hard. Male fl. | in. diam., pedicel 1—3 in., connectives acute. Fem. fl. on stouter 
pedicels, 3^; in. long including the style, very hispid as are the pedicels; calyx-teeth 
very short. Capsule 1—1 in. diam., nearly terete. — The specimens are not very good, 
and I find none in Wallich's Herbarium in the Linnzan Society’s Rooms: I have seen 
too few fem. fl. to be confident as to their description. None of the other species are 
atalllike it. The flowers are sometimes inserted on a very short peduncle. Near 
G. zeylanicum in many respects, but the stipules differ and the capsule is much 
intruded at the base and apex. 
20. G. Hohenackeri, Beddome Foresters Man. 193; every where 
glabrous, leaves 2—4 in. thin elliptic- or ovate-lanceolate acutely or obtusely 
acuminate base acute, male fl. long-pedicelled, anthers 3, fem. sessile in 
capitate clusters, fem. calyx unequally 4—6-toothed, style broadly tumidl 
conical, concealing the glabrous 8-lobed ovary, capsule subsessile muc 
depressed 6-8-lobed with a large globose smooth minutely 3-4-toothed style 
in the sunk top. Phyllanthus Hohenackeri, Muell. Arg. in Flora xlviu. 313,

&c., Heyne, &c. The Concan, very common, Gibson (Herb. Ind. Or., Hf. 4 T., 
Nos. 33 & 41). 
A tree, 12 ft. high; branches slender. Leaves usually dark brown when dry; 
nerves very slender, usually not raised, cross-nervules faint; petiole j5-3 1n-; 
stipules broadly triangular. Male fl. 3-4 in. diam.; sepals linear-oblong ; connec: 
tives half the length of the anther-cells, acute. Fem. f. minute; calyx cup- 
shaped, lobes or teeth if few broad, rounded or subacute. Capsule i-i in. diam., 
quite smooth, black, rather thinly crustaceous, style with rather raised margins, 
about 4 the diameter of the capsule.—Near G. fagifolium, but the calyx differs. 
21. G. Ralphii, Hook. f.; quite glabrous, branches slender, leaves 
2-3 in. elliptic-lanceolate acuminate base acute, male fl. on slender pedicels, 
sepals linear-oblong, anthers 3, fem. fl. few minute sessile, calyx cupular 
unequally obtusely toothed glabrous, style subglobose or obovoid 4—5- 
lobed at the top broader than the very short villous 3—6-celled ovary, capsule 
subsessile depressed smooth faintly 3-6-lobed, style slightly sunk globose or 
shortly clavate.

Branches and leaves pale brown when dry. Leaves not shining, thinly coriaceous, 
base usually unequal-sided and narrowed into the rather long (for the genus) petiole ; 
nerves 8-12 pair, very slender, nervules indistinct; petiole A} in.; stipules pei 
gular. Male fl, } in. diam. ; connectives obtuse, Fem. fl, very inconspicuous; sty 
very much larger than the ovary. Capsules } in. diam., crustaceous, erown veg 
slightly sunk. Seeds hemispheric, red.—1 assume the fruiting specimens collected d 
Mr. Talbot to be conspecific with Ralphii, which bear only male and fem. flow : 
The plant much resembles in foliage and colour var. Wightiana of G. ellipticum, " 
the fem. calyx and ovary are altogether different.
