414 CXXXV. EUPHORBIACEX. (J.D. Hooker) [Cl/aoxylon. 
Forests of PEcv, Kurz. 
An evergreen meagre low shrub, 3—4 ft. ; stem very stout, fistular ; shoots stellate- 
pubescent. Leaves eglandular at the base.— The only specimen I have seen is in 
fruit; the three strong long spreading basal nerves are quite unlike any Indian species 
of the genus. The fruiting raceme is very short, the fruit pedicelled, and the seeds 
remain attached to the axis of the fruit after the fall of the crustaceous stellately 
woolly valves. 
13. Claoxylon sp.; leaves long and stoutly petioled 10-12 by 2—4 in. 
oblong acuminate subentire glabrous above sparsely pubescent beneath base 
acute eglandular, petiole 2-3 in., young racemes very short, stamens 60-70 
filaments short, anthers long for the genus, receptacle glabrous. 
PERAK, on Larut Peak, alt. 2-2500 ft., Herb. Hort. Bot. Cale. (No. 2177). 
A shrub, 3-6 ft.—Possibly a variety of C.longipetiolatum, but the flowers are 
much larger. 
14  Claoxylon sp.; leaves 5-6 by 2-24 in. membranous oblong 
acuminate scaberulous on both surfaces subserrate base acute 2-glandular, 
petiole 2-1 in., fruit about 3 in. diam. 3-lobed hoary crustaceous.

15. Claoxylon sp.; stem very stout, shoots hoary, leaves very large 
12-16 by 5-7 in. oblong acute or obtuse quite entire or sinuate-serrate base 
broad rounded or subcordate eglandular, nerves very spreading scaberulous 
above nearly glabrous beneath, petiole 6-10 in. stout, racemes peduncled, 
hoary, flowers (very young) minute.

A very large robust species, possibly a form of C. Ahasianum. 
46. ACALYPHA, Linn. 
Herbs, shrubs or trees. Leaves alternate, toothed or crenate, rarely 
entire, penninerved or 3-5-plinerved. Flowers minute, in axillary or ter- 
minal racemes, or females 1-2 in a peduncled solitary bract, monoecious, 
rarely diccious, apetalous; males very minute, ebracteate; fem. at the 
base of the male spike, or in separate spikes, often at the base of large 
accrescent leafy bracts. Marx FL. Disk 0. Calyx membranous, splitting 
into 4 valvate sepals. Stamens many, often 8, on a convex receptacle, 
filaments free ; anther-cells divaricate, often twisted or flexuous. Pistillode 
0. Fem. FL. Sepals 3-4, imbricate, often minute. Ovary 3-celled; styles 
filiform, often very long and laciniate or fimbriate; ovules 1 in each cell- 
Capsule of 3 minute 2-valved crustaceous cocci. Seeds subglobose, testa 
crustaceous, albumen fleshy; cotyledons broad, flat.—Species upwards o 
220, tropical and subtropical. 
* Fem. bracts solitary, very large, 2-flowered. 
1, A. Dalzellii, Hook. f:; shrubby, glabrous, leaves long-petioled 
ovate obtuse base cuneate obscurely crenate, bract very large orbicular- 
reniform 2-fld., peduncle capillary. 
The Concan ?, Dalzell. 
, Much branched, branches terete, bark brown. Leaves 2-3 in., membranous, 3-5- 
plinerved, nerves very slender; petiole 4-1 in., very slender. Bracts (female flower- 
ing) i-i in. diam. , quite entire; peduncles }-1 in. ; sepals lanceolate, ciliate ; ovary 
glabrous, 3-4-celled ; styles pectinately laciniate, 4 in. long.—A very remarkable
