both sexes.. Sepals of fem. ovate, acute; petals subulate, hairy ; styles very long, 
divided 3 way down. Capsule “at length glabrous,” Thwaites.—This is un- 
doubtedly, as Beddome has pointed out, Wight’s Klotzschianus, and is well figured by 
him. Wight compares it with C. Tiglium, from which it differs widely in the elliptic 
leaves and nerves. I have seen no ripe fruit, 
22. C. ardisioides, Hook. f.; robust, quite glabrous, leaves oblong or 
linear- or obovate-oblong obtuse crenate penninerved base acute, racemes 
very slender, flowers small scattered, disk of male obscure of fem. 9-lobed, 
stamens about 12, ovary depressed stellate-tomentose, styles 2-partite, 
capsule very small globose smooth. 
Maracca, Griffith (Kew Distrib. 4783).—Dr1sTRIB. Borneo. 
Branches stout. Leaves 2-4 in., rather coriaceous, tawny yellow when dry; 
nerves 6-10 pairs, very slender; glands petiolar, small; petiole 1-11 in., stout, 
terete. Racemes 3-5 in., flexuous; bracts minute; flowers scattered. Sepals 
glabrous, of male with bearded tips; of fem. ovate, obtuse. Capsule (one only seen) 
4 in. diam., terete. 
ttt Leaves strongly triple-nerved, glabrous or nearly so. 
23. ©. Tiglium, Linn. Sp. Pl. p. 1004; youngest shoots sparsely 
stellately hairy, leaves long-petioled membranous glabrous ovate acuminate 
serrate 3—5-plinerved, rachis of racemes and small flowers glabrous, fem. 
stellately hairy, stamens 15-20, ovary stellately hispid, styles slender 
2-partite, capsule large oblong 3-lobed, pericarp thin glabrous or slightly 
hispid. Muell. Arg. in DC. Prodr. xv. ii. 600; Roxb. Fl. Ind. 682; Kurz

A small evergreen tree. Leaves 2-4 in., yellowish when dry, rarely elliptic or 
oblong, sometimes glandular beneath; nerves 2-3 pair above the basal; glands 
minute, sessile; petiole 1-2 in., slender. Racemes 2-3 in. ; bracts subulate. Ma 
+3 pedicels stellately hairy; sepals nearly glabrous, tips bearded ; petals narrow, 
Woolly -edged ; stamens glabrous, receptacle villous ; disk-glands 5, small. Fem. fl. ; 
sepals villous at the base within ; petals 0; disk obscure, annular ; ovary oblong. 
Capsule 3-1 in. long, white, turbinately obovoid, obtusely trigouous. Seed 4-3 in., 
oblong, obtusely trigonous, pale.—I find no characters whereby to distingui sh 
amilton's C. Parana from Tiglium; Mueller is mistaken in supposing that 
allich’s 7722 B is not Hamilton’s plant; the specimen is Hamilton’s own from 
oyalpara in Kamrup (Assam), and is so named by himself. 
24. C. nigre-viridis, Thwaites Enum. 276; shoots racemes and 
young leaves beneath sparsely stellately pubescent, leaves coriaceous broadly 
ovate or ovate-lanceolate acuminate serrulate base strongly 3-nerved, 
Tacemes short stout, ovary stellately hispid, styles long 2-partite, fruit
