acute obtuse rounded or subcordate, eglandular; petiole 3-5 iu. Racemes hoary- 
tomentose; males longest with scattered clusters of subsessile flowers; female with 
solitary pedicelled flowers. Capsules tomentose, depressed; cocci keeled. Seeds 
(ripe ?) rugose.— The more glabrous narrower-]eaved forms look very different from 
the very broad tomentose ones (Mueller's var. B.), but in the Malay Islands both 
accompany the same very marked capsule, which is quite unlike that of any other 
Species.

An evergreen shrub or small tree, 4-10 ft. (Kurz) ; stem hollow ; shoots pubescent.

2-3 in. ; flowers à in. diam, Fruit apparently bursting irregularly tridymous, hoary 
without, silky within.—The Calcutta Garden plant is, I think, rightly referred to this 
by Mueller, but is, I suspect, from Penang, and not from the Khasia Mts. On the 
other hand, the Khasia plant of Thomson’s and my collection, also referred here by 
Mueller, is C. khasiana, differing in the very short scales amongst the stamens. I 
ave seen no Javan specimens of C. longifolium. The Indian plant differs from 
- indicum in the fruit and seed. The following varieties may be distinct species.
