This differs from F. microcarpa more in habit and foliage than in flowers or fruit ; 
the leaves are smaller, broader, and more rigid, rarely 1 in. long, with longer petioles, 
the nerves less distinct, the flowers even smaller, the fruit identical. Mueller describes 
the styles as entire, and they are so represented by Wight, but they are usually 
2-fid, as in Brandis’ figure. 
DOUBTFUL SPECIES. 
F. PnvLLANTHOrEs, Baill. Etudes Gen. Euphorb. 592; Muell. Arg. in DC. 
Prodr. xv. ii. 452; an altogether doubtful plant, said by Baillon to differ from the 
ahurian (Securinega ramiflora, Muell. Arg. l. c. 449) in the leaves not being entire, 
and to have been collected in the Himalaya by Strachey and Winterbottom, and to 
exist in the Paris Museum ; where, however, Mueller searched for it fruitlessly.
