15-20 pairs, arched; petiole 1-4 in., thickened at the tip. Male spikes and fem. 
racemes rigid, angular, glabrous or puberulous; bracts minute. Male fl. minute, 
ig in long, clustered ; fem. larger, in long, subsolitary, stoutly pedicelled ; sepals of 
male coriaceous, pubescent, of fem. oblong, erect; petals of male broadly obovate, of 
fem. minute or 0 ; connective of anthers papillose, cells parallel, united at the base 
only. Capsule unknown.

A shrub; buds tawny-pubescent. Leaves 2-3 in. broad, nerves 10-12 pairs ; 
petiole 1-13 in., thickened at the tip. Racemes rather robust, bracts minute. Sepals 
appressed -pubescent, of the fem. ovate-lanceolate ciliolate ; petals puberulous. Cap- 
sule 1-3 in. diam., depressed, tridymous. Seeds subglobose, marbled.—I have not 
Seen a good flowering specimen, and have taken the description partly from Kurz. 
Baillon erred in citing for this plant Wallich's Croton latus, which is his No. 7738, 
and a Mallotus. Of Wallich's 7740 there are three sheets in his Herbarium, of 
Which two, both marked A, consist of Claozylon Wallichii and scraps of what I think 
Is Trigonostemon indicus; the third, marked B, is T. letus of Baillon; it bears the 
mss. name of Acalypha atropurpurea, Wall., which was evidently intended for the 
Claowylon, some leaves of which have retained a red-purple hue. 
5. T. semperflorens, Muell. Arg. in DC. Prodr. xv. ii. 1110; 
branches hispid, leaves very shortly petioled 5-10 in. oblanceolate from & 
narrow cordate base pubescent beneath, racemes very short subsessile, 
pedicels short stout, ovary hispid, styles 2-fid to the middle, capsules sub- 
sessile hispid. T. Hookerianus, Muell. l. c. 1109. Sylvæa Hookeriana,

A small shrub ; branches rather stout. Leaves 1-3 in. broad, very dark when dry, 
membranous, panduriformly constricted above the base, obscurely serralate and ciliate ; 
nerves 15-25 pair; slender, spreading, and midrib tomentose ; petiole +4 in., very 
stout, tomentose. Racemes inconspicuous, axillary and from the branches. Male f 
many, purple ; fem. fewer, larger, 3}; in. diam., green ; sepals unequal, oblong, hispi ; 
petals orbicular; disk and anthers as in T. heteranthus. Capsule j-i in. 1am., 
3-lobed, thinly erustaceous.— Roxburgh describes the fem. fl. as apetalous in semper- 
Orens, and Mueller as obovate in Hookerianus. 
9 T. villosus, Hook. f.; branchlets leaves beneath and inflorescence 
villously rusty-tomentose, leaves thin oblanceolate from a narrow rounded 
or subcordate base finely acuminate, racemes long-peduncled, anthers 3, 
vary villously hispid, styles divided to the base. 
Prax, King’ 
eaves 4—7 Wy 13-2 fu. Grown when dry, membranous, sometimes a little con- 
tracted above the base and subpanduriform, pubescent above, at length glabrate, 
ype Or very obscurely toothed; nerves 9-14 pairs, slender, spreading; petiole 
in. Peduncles slender, nearly as long as the leaves ; bracts leafy, lanceolate, 
t=} in. long; pedicels as long or longer. Male fl. in. diam. ; sepals oblong, villous;
