A small deciduous tree; branches rather stout. Leaves 6-12 in., rather coria- 
ceous, sometimes 4 in. broad, very pale green when dry; nerves 12-16 pairs, slender ; 
petiole very variable, 1-24 in., rather slender. Racemes often fascicled, erect; 
pedicels long or short, Sepals of male broadly oblong; petals as long as the sepals, 
woolly; disk-glands 5, rounded; stamens 12, glabrous. Sepals of fem. oblong ; 
petals small, linear, ciliate; disk depressed. Ovary oblong, 3-gonous, lepidote. 
apsule X in. diam., globosely 3-lobed, scaberulously lepidote, top depressed.—C. 
allichianus, which resembles this, differs in not being lepidote.

A shrub very similar to C. oblongifolius, but the leaves are shorter petioled, 
narrower, more acuminate and less serrate or toothed, and the capsule is very 
flerent.—I have seen only Silhet and Clarke's and Griffith's Burmese specimens ; 
* Capsules in the latter are terete, very obscurely 3-lobed, and the seeds oblong, 
% described by Kurz.—Mueller's C. persimilis, a. genuina, is a mixture of this with 
: oblongifolius from Khasia, Assam, and Ceylon. His B. glabrata, from Rawak, is 
Probably Something very different.

A small tree ; branchlets very robust, rüsty-scaly. Leaves 13-8 in., dull greenish 
grey or brown when dry, pale but not shining beneath; nerves very slender ; petiole 
n., robust, Male fl. much larger than in C. argyratus ; petals very | , 
tops: ciliate. Sepals of fem. fl. broadly ovate, obtuse; disk obscure. vary 
Pery-lepidote. Ca sule id-globose, 3-coccous, 6-grooved, size of a large pea, 
? chien scaly and tubereled Tl specimens are very indifferent, and the description 
ie 
` i f 
‘ly from Kurz. Itake Wallich's 7736, from Tavoy, to be a male specimen o 
wis with Very slender spikes and pedicelled flowers; it differs from C. oblongifolius 
* entire obtuse leaves, 
ms Inflorescence stellately tomentose or glabrous (not lepidote except 
ely in C. levifolius and Griffithii).
