19. C. Griffithii, Hook. f.; quite glabrous, leaves elliptic or oblong 
obtuse or acuminate entire or obscurely subsinuate-serrate penninerved 
shining above, racemes elongate glabrous or sparsely lepidote, flowers small 
solitary, males filled with silvery wool, stamens 8-15, disk of fem. of 5 
large glands, ovary depressed 3-lobed stellately tomentose and white with 
lepidote scales, styles 2-partite, capsule } in. diam. depressed 3-lobed 
sparsely lepidote smooth.— Wall. Cat. 7754, 7967. 
Maracoa, Griffith (Kew Distrib. 4778, 4781), Maingay (Kew Distrib. 1406). 
SINGAPORE, Wallich, &c. PERAK, Scortechini, King’s Collector. 
Branchlets with pale bark. Leaves 4-8 iu., rather coriaceous, very smooth, 
yellow brown when dry, base rounded or acute; nerves 8-12 pair, spreading, very 
slender; glands minute, sessile; petiole 1-21 in., terete. Racemes 4-8 in., rachis 
thickening in age; sepals of fem, ovate, subacute, tips bearded. Capsule not shining, 
with globose lobes. Seeds subglobose.—Griffith’s and some of the Perak specimens 
have obtuse leaves with rounded bases; in Maingay’s they are more acute, and the 
racemes more slender; in the Singapore ones the racemes are much shorter and 
sparsely lepidote ; hence there may be more than one species under the above descrip- 
tion. A solitary specimen of Griffith’s from Malacca (Kew Distrib. 4779) has the very 
slender racemes of C. levifolius and lepidote ovaries.—It is possible that this is the 
true levifolius of Blume; and if so, the Khasian plant so called should bear the name 
of khasianus. 
20. C. Gibsonianus, Nimmo in Grah. Cat. Bomb. Pl. 251; quite 
glabrous, leaves membranous elliptic oblong or linear-oblong caudate- 
acuminate penninerved and 3-nerved at the obtuse or rounded base, 
racemes very long and slender, sepals membranous, disk of male of 5 large 
glands, stamens 10, ovary stellate-tomentose, styles very long 2-partite, 
capsule } in. diam. 3-lobed stellately hairy. Muell. Arg. in DC. Prodr.

A shrub; branches slender, smooth, young shoots and leaves sparing stellate 
pubescent. Leaves 3-8 by 1-4 in., green or yellowish when dry ; nerves 8-10 pairs, 
very slender; glands minute, stipitate; petiole 4—4 in., terete. Racemes 6-10 vail, 
flowers distant, solitary or fascicled, bracts small. Receptacle of male very Smal» 
woolly. Disk of fem. saucer-shaped. Styles very long, recurved. Capsule crus- 
taceous. Seeds broadly oblong, smooth, shining. 
21. C. Klotzschianus, Wight Ic. t. 1914; glabrous except the stel- 
lately lepidote youngest shoots, leaves small membranous elliptic-oblong 
acute entire or serrulate penninerved and 3-nerved at the base, racemes 
short very slender, sepals membranous, disk of male and fem. of 5 large
