subsessile, sepals linear-oblong, style very short columnar, ovary globose 
glabrous or pubescent, capsules small densely clustered sessile depressed 
faintly 4-lobed, tipped with the minute style glabrous or puberulous.

WESTERN HIMALAYA ; Kumaon, Fdgeworth. BENGAL; at Dacca, Clarke. Foot 
hills and low valleys of the HIMALAYA from Sikkim eastwards to UPPER AssaM,

An umbrageous small tree, youngest shoots glabrous. Leaves rather coriaceous, 
always discoloured, smooth above, nerves and cross-nervules raised beneath; petiole 
+5 in., stout ; stipules subulate from a triangular-lanceolate base. Male fl-4 in. diam., 
clustered ; pedicels capillary, }~$ in.; sepals somewhat dilated upwards ; connectives 
large, acute. Fem. fl. minute, very many in a cluster; pedicels very short and sepals 
and ovary glabrous or puberulous. Capsules often forming clusters along all the 
axils of the branchlets, sessile or on short slender pedicels, 4 in. diam., quite smooth 
and usually glabrous, obtusely 4- rarely 3- or 5-angled and celled ; pericarp thin, 
crustaceous. Seeds hemispheric, red.—A common N.E. Indian species, easily re- 
cognized amongst the glabrous ones by the small usually obscurely 4-lobed thin 
walled capsules with a minute style in their hardly depressed top. Leaves rarely 
7 by 4in. in Daccan specimens.—Specimens of Andersonii from the Calcutta Her- 
barium are identical with assamicum. Mueller describes the anthers as 3-5, but 
find only 3. 
38. G. Daltoni, Kurz For. Fl. ii. 344; quite glabrous, branches 
slender, leaves coriaceous 2—4 in. lanceolate or oblong-lanceolate acuminate 
shining above purplish brown beneath, base acute, male fl. sessile, sepals 
ovate-oblong silky within, anthers 3, fem. clustered sessile, ovary globose 
4—6-celled pubescent soon glabrous, style exserted stout slightly clavate tip 
with 4—6 rounded lobes, capsules subsessile depressed 8-10-lobed, style stout 
clavate lobed deciduous. Beddome Forester’s Man. 195. Phyllanthus

A deciduous small tree or shrub (Kurz). Leaves brown on both surfaces = 
dry, or green above, smooth; nerves very slender, raised; petiole 4; in. ; stipules 
ovate, acute. Fem. sepals quite glabrous without, a little pubescent within ; inner 
smaller, subspathulate. Style glabrous or tomentose below. Capsules 1-3 in. diam., 
reddish brown, lobes smooth ; pericarp very thin.—Mueller gives the Nilghiri Moun- 
tains as a locality for this, but I have seen no specimens. 
39. G. rigidum, Mvxell. Arg. in Linnea xxxii. 67; quite glabrous. 
leaves 3—4 in. coriaceous elliptic-oblong or lanceolate base acute, mate f. 
small, sepals glabrous, anthers 3, fem. all pedicelled few in a cluster, sepals 
oblong pubescent within below the middle, style a little longer than the 
sepals shortly columnar or fusiform 3-4-cleft constricted above the globos! 
glabrous 3-4-celled ovary, capsule depressed-globose smooth 6-8-lobe a 
crowned by the short stout exserted style. G. Jussieuianum, Thwaites
