A bush or small tree; branches pendulous. Leaves bifariously rather close-set 
and uniform, dull greyish green above when dry, pale beneath; nerves 10-12 pair and 
cross-nervules raised beneath; petiole 4 in.; stipules ovate. Male pedicels } in., 
perianth 1; in. diam., connectives short obtuse. Fem. Ji. minute, sepals obtuse. 
Capsule 1-4 in. diam. Seeds nearly hemispheric.—Griffith in a note describes the 
fem. perianth as of 3 outer minute sepals and 3 inner larger. 
97. G. dasystylum, Kurz For. Fl. ii. 344; branchlets and leaves 
beneath softly tomentose, leaves 2-3 in. thin ovate acuminate base obtuse 
or rounded, fem. fl. long pedicelled subumbellately fascicled, styles 3 filiform 
airy, capsules fascicled pedicels slender depressed 3—4-celled 6-8-lobed tomen-

, An evergreen tree, 15-20 ft. ; branchlets slender, terete, almost hirsute with rusty 
hairs. Leaves pubescent or glabrate; nerves 5-7 pair, very slender, arched, cross-

IMPERFECTLY KNOWN AND DOUBTFUL SPECIES. 
, ,98. G. mishmiense, Hook. f.; branches stout and leaves beneath and 
intorescence densely brown-tomentose, leaves 6-8 in. coriaceous oblong obtuse 
or subacute base acute glabrous above except the costa, nerves and cross- 
hervules strong beneath, capsules clustered pedicelled much depressed 4-8- 
celled 8-10-lobed densely hoary-tomentose, stigma subglobose or very shortly 
Conic sunk in an apical depression, seeds hemispheric red. 
UPPER Assam ; on the Mishmi Hills, Grifith (Kew Distrib. 4843). — 
This has the habit of G. zeylanicum, from the tomentose varieties of which it differs 
y the greatly depressed capsules clothed with white tomentum and the small obtuse 
stigma in its small apex. ‘The capsules are nearly } in. diam., and the seeds j in. 
59. G. Curtisii, Hook. f.; branchlets petioles and leaves beneath 
Pubescent, leaves 5-7 by 11-2 in. linear-oblong base very unequal-sided, 
nerves 8-10 pair pubescent above very strong beneath, male fl. small 
Clastered pedicels very slender, anthers 3, connectives very short. 
PENANG ; Cooley Lines on Government Hill, Curtis (No. 670). 
This appears very distinct from all the preceding species. 
P PHYLLANTHUS asPERUS, Muell. Arg. in Flora xlviii. (1865) 377, and in DC. 
rodr. xv. ii. 297 ; branchlets hispidulous and obscurely fulvous tomentose, leaves 24-34 
by 1} in. elliptic ovate or obovate tip rounded mucronulate pubescent on both surfaces 
and rough with subtuberculate white hairs, midrib and nerves prominent paler than the 
Interspaces and beautifully reticulated, pedicels of both sexes short, of male pubescent 
em. very short tomentose, fem, sepals oblong-obovate subacute pubescent on both 
en rfaces, Ovary globose 4-celled subtomentose, style subeylindric pubescent twice or 
nice as long as and about as broad as the ovary. Beddome Forester s Man. 198,— 
alabar and Concan, Stocks, Law in “ Herb. Ind. Or., H. f. d T” (Mueller Arg.). 
7-1 fail to recognize this. 
i PRYLLANTAUS SILHETICUS, Muell. Arg. in Flora l. c. 378, and in DC 1. c.; branch- 
ets rather stout tomentose with black yellow or rufous bairs, leaves 34-4} by 2-2} in. 
eliptic oblong shortly acute margined with a yellowish line base obtuse or sub- 
1 ate, nerves above and beneath softly yellowish pubescent, pedicels all very short 
Blobose 4-celled obscurely tomentose, style conical scarcely longer than the ovary, 
ple 35 in. diam, depressed small pubescent deeply 6-grooved.—Silhet, J. D. 
zOoker (Mueller Arg.).—I do not recognize this. Mueller says that the yellow 
Marginal line of the leaves resembles that of G. zeylanicum.
