Borneo, Java. 
A tree, 30-40 ft.; branchlets as thick as a swan’s quill. Leaves on Singapore 
specimens rounded, 2}-34 by 24-3 in., in others longer and 3—4 in. diam., dull greenish 
brown or grey when dry and very rigid, scaberulous above with imperfect nerves, 
beneath thickly softly tomentose with 6-12 pairs of very strong arched spreading 
nerves and reticulate cross-nervules; petiole very short and thick; stipules long, 
slender, subulate from a triangular base. Peduncles 4 in., stout. Male pedicels 
4-3 in., very many, capillary; perianth i in. diam. ; connectives acute. Fem. jl. 
minute. Capsules 1-4 in., pericarp and cocci very thin.

glabrous, male fi. long pedicelled, anthers 3, fem. fl. solitary or few and 
clustered minute sessile, sepals oblong obtuse, ovary 3-celled villous, style

An evergreen shrub or small tree. Leaves dark brown when dry, shining above and 
sometimes on both surfaces, base rounded or very unequal-sided, one side acute the 
other rounded; petiole slender, 4,3 in.; stipules subulate from a triangu'ar base. 
Male pedicels glabrous or pubescent, }—} in. ; sepals linear-oblong ; connectives rather 
long, acute, glabrous or hispidulous. Fem. sepals lanceolate, acute, glabrous or 
puberulous. Capsule l in. diam., crustaceous. Seeds hemispheric.—Kurz describes 
the leaves beneath petioles and midrib as pubescent. This is not so in a specimen 
named by himself, in which the leaves are very like those of G. lævigatum.

rigid elliptic acuminate, male fl. few, sepals lanceolate obtuse, anthers 3

style 2-3 times as long as the sepals subcylindric 3-grooved acutely 
unequally 2-3-toothed gradually dilated into the glabrous ovary, capsule 
very shortly pedicelled depressed 3-6-lobed quite glabrons, style as long 
stont deciduous. Phyllanthus khasicus, Muell. Arg. in DC. Prodr. xv. 8-

An umbrageous dark green tree, 50 ft., branches woody, branchlets angled. Leaves 
when dry pale above, grey brown beneath, base acute and decurrent on the short stout 
petiole ; nerves 5-6 pair, slender, arched ; stipules triangular-ovate. Male fl. shortly 
pedicelled ; connectives umbonate. Fem. sepals erect, coriaceous. Capsule $in. diam.,

male fl. shortly pedicelled, anthers 3, connectives very long, tem- als 
densely clustered subsessile or pedicelled glabrous or pubescent, Sep

times longer than the narrowly oblong sepals, base contracted above y 
globose 3—4-celled glabrous ovary. Beddome Foresters Man. 195. P hyllan
