394 CXXXV. EUPHORBIACER. (J. D. Hooker.) [ Croton. 
basal; glands rather large, subsessile ; petiole 1-2 in., stout, terete. Racemes 
2-3 in. ; pedicels very short, stout ; bracts minute. Sepals of fem. stellate externally, 
glabrous within except the villous base; disk annular, 5-lobed ; petals minute, 
subulate, with long hairs; styles rather stout. Capsule 4 in. long, rather longer 
than broad, top depressed. Seeds unripe.—1 have seen no male flowers, nor the 
lanceolate leaves described by Thwaites. Beddome is disposed to regard this as a 
form of C. aromaticus, but it appears to me entirely different, with the leaves of C. 
Tiglium, but very thick. 
25. C. flocculosus, Kurz For. Fl. ii. 375; shoots and leaves beneath 
with soft woolly tomentum, leaves broadly ovate-cordate acute crenate 
strongly 3-5-plimerved, capsules in terminal racemes subglobose softly 
tomentose, seeds elliptic-oblong.— Wall. Cat. 7743.

Paghamew, Wallich. 
A tree; branches stout, woody; bark pale. Leaves 2-8 in. long and broad, pale 
when dry, smooth above, at length glabrous beneath; nerves 3—4 pair above ei 
basal, glands minute; petiole 1-1 in., rather slender. Capsule obscurely lobed. 
Seeds 4 in., smooth, subterete or plano-convex.—A very distinct species, but in an 
incomplete state. 
B. Ovary glabrous, styles united in a short column. Sepals greatly 
enlarged and foliaceous in fruit. 
26. C. Lawianus, Nimmo in Grah. Cat. Bomb. Pl. 251; young 
leaves finely softly stellately hairy, leaves shortly petioled broadly ovate 
caudate-acuminate quite entire strongly 3-nerved, racemes short few-fld., 
male fl. large membranous, stamens about 20, sepals of fem. large oblong 
glabrous, ovary oblong glabrous 3-lobed, styles 3 united below very stout 
recurved, capsule large rugose glabrous. Dalz. § Gibs. Bomb. FT. 232. Tri-

Branches slender, terete, smooth. Leaves 3-5 in., thinly coriaceous, base rounded,

terete. Racemes very slender; bracts 0. Male fl. 3-5, } in. diam. ; pedicels 
capillary ; sepals ovate, obtuse, gland-dotted, sparsely stellately hairy; petals larger, 
oblong, fimbriate; stamens short; disk of 5 large glands. Fem. jl. few, 3 ed,

lobes 2-fid. Capsule 2 in. diam., shorter than the leafy green sepals, thickly “The 
taceous, Seeds 3-1 in. long, oblong, striately mottled brown and white to 
female calyx resembles that of a Trigonostemon, whence Mueller’s reference of this
