itself, cells 2-ovuled.—I have seen no ripe fruit. 
28. A. Griffithii, Hook. f.; glabrous, leaves oblong or obovate-oblong 
acuminate base rounded or acute, male and fem. spikes clustered, bracts 
tomentose, fem. fl. sessile, ovary ovoid glabrous, stigmas minute recurved. 
Matacca, Griffith (Kew Distrib. 4955). 
Branches rather stout, pale. Leaves 3-5 in., thickly coriaceous, shining on both 
surfaces ; nerves 6-8 pairs, very slender; petiole i-iin., stout. Spikes of both sexes 
4 in., simple or racemose, rusty-tomentose. Ovary minute, style very short, 2-fid ; 
stigmas smooth, grooved on the faces. Fruit unknown.— The leaves are those of A4. 
ozburghii and villosula, from which the tomentose bracts distinguish it. 
APOROSA sp.P A species in Griffith's collection from his journey to Burma 
resembles 4. acuminata, and no other, but is too imperfect for description. 
22. DAPHNIPHYLLUM, Blume. 
Small glabrous evergreen trees with robust branches leafy at the tips. 
eaves alternate, long-petioled, quite entire, penninerved, usually glaucous 
neath. Flowers in axillary racemes, dicecious, apetalous. MALE FL. 
Sepals 3-8, small, or calyx 4-toothed or discoid. Stamens 5-18, filaments 
short free or 0; anthers large, erect, often apiculate; cells parallel, dehiscing 
laterally. Pistillode 0. Frm. Fr. Calyx of the male. Disk 0, or of 4-6 
scales or glands. Ovary imperfectly 2-celled ; styles or stigmas short, dis- 
tinct, thick, recurved, entire; ovules 2 in each cell. Drupe oblong, usually 
"seeded. Seed with a membranous testa, albumen thick fleshy ; embryo 
small, cotyledons narrow ovate or oblong.—Species 11, Tropical Asiatic and 
yan.

BURMA ; near Amherst, Wallich. . 
Leaves 8-12 by 4-6 in. very glaucous beneath; petiole 3-6 in. Male corymbs 
ü any-fid., flowers long-pedicelled. Sepals of male triangular-ovate, acute. Fem. 
ower and fruit unknown.—Very nearly allied to D. laurinum, but the male calyx is 
- ply divided and the inflorescence corymbose. This being under Ricinus furfuraceus 
erb. Wallich is due to an accidental misplacement of tickets.
