826 CXXXV. EUPHORBIACEE. (J. D. Hooker.) [Glochidion. 
A small tree ; branchlets slender, flexuous, angled. Leaves dark brown when dry, 
hardly coriaceous ; nerves 4—5 pair, hardly raised beneath ; petiole -5—4 in.; stipules 
small, ciliate. Male pedicels l in., and linear sepals hispid; connectives nearly as 
long as the anthers. Fem. calyx tubular at the base. 
Var. B., Thwaites l. c. ; leaves narrower and longer elliptic-lanceolate finely 
acuminate very pale brown when dry, nerves 6-8 pair, fem. fl. sometimes pediceiled 
sparsely hispid or glabrous.—Reigam Corle, Thwaites.—This looks very different, but 
I expect Thwaites is right in regarding it as a variety. 
54. G. coronatum, Hook. f.; branches hirsutely tomentose, leaves 
3-5 in. subsessile membranous elliptic-oblong acuminate sparsely hirsute 
beneath, male fl. minute pedicelled hispid, stamens 3, connectives umbonate, 
fem. fl. few sessile in dense axillary clusters, ovary villous, style slender 
cylindric 2-3 times as long as the lanceolate acute tomentose sepals acutely 
3-cleft glabrous above, capsule subsessile 3-6-lobed hoary-tomentose.

A shrub (in Perak 8-12 ft.) ; branches slender. Zeaves equal or unequal at the 
base, dull grey on both surfaces, nerves slender; petiole not 4j in. Capsule j in. 
diam., depressed, top sunk, style deciduous. 
99. G. villicaule, Hook. f:; branchlets hirsutely tomentose with 
spreading rusty hairs, leaves 3-5 in. thin ovate elliptic or oblong obtuse 
acute or acuminate softly hairy and strongly reticulately nerved beneath, 
male fl. few, pedicels and lanceolate sepals hispid, anthers 3-5 large, fem. f. 
minute sessile, ovary pubescent 3-4-celled, Style much longer than the 
perianth subcylindric hispid subacutely 2-3-toothed, capsule subsessile 
depressed 6-8-lobed densely hirsute, style as long columnar acutely toothed 
deciduous. 
UPPER Burma; towards the silver mines, Griffith (Kew Distrib. 4842). 
PERAK, Scortechini.—DiIsTRIB. Yunan. 
Branchlets flexuous, hairs rufous. Leaves very variable in size and shape, brown 
when dry, sometimes only l in. and very broadly elliptic, base subequal, acute, 
rounded or subcordate; nerves 6-10 pair, strong, as are the cross-nervules ; petiole 
very short, villous; stipules subulate. Male ff. shortly hispidly pedicelled ; anthers 
half as long as the sepals, connectives large free. Fem. fi. inconspicuous ; sepals 
narrow ; style rather slender, a little swollen above the middle and narrowed to the 
top. Capsule } in. diam., not deeply lobed, top hardly depressed, style usually leaving 
a minute rustily hairy base.— The specimens are not very good. 
Sect. II. Guocuipiorsis (see p. 307). 
56. G. sericeum, Hook. f.; branchlets leaves beneath and flowers 
pubescent, leaves 2-3 in. linear-oblong obtuse base rounded or cordate 
puberulous above glaucous beneath, flowers all pedicelled, male sepals 6 outor 
spreading, anthers 3, fem. sepals 2-3, ovary globose villous 3-celled, styte 
3 slender villous tips 2-fid, capsule depressed 3-lobed densely ville?
