leaves alternate petioled penninerved very membranous elliptic oblong or 
oblong-lanceolate cuspidately caudate-acuminate sinuate-toothed pellucid- 
punctate but eglandular and shining beneath, nerves 10-12 pair, fem.

TexasseRIM, Helfer (Kew Distrib. 4764). TE 
Branchlets smooth, tips faintly hoary, as are'the young petioles and midrib 
beneath. Leaves 5-8 by 23-4 in., very thin, greenish above when dry, brown 
beneath, with a few basal glands on the short lowest nerves; base acute or subacute, 
with no superficial glands above; nerves and distant cross-nervules very slender; 
petiole 1-11 in., slender. Fem. racemes 2-3 in., 1-2 fd.; flowers pedicelled ; sepals 
lanceolate.— The specimens are scanty, in very young fruit only, which is 4 in. diam. 
hey resemble no other species. The leaves, though pellucid-punctate, have no 
superficial glands beneath. 
33. M. andamanicus, Hook. f. ; nearly glabrous, branchlets flattened, 
leaves opposite very shortly petioled penninerved elliptic-oblong obtusely 
acuminate entire or sinuate-toothed base acute minutely glandular beneath, 
perves 12-14 pair, male spikes very short terminal and axillary glandular, 
tacts broadly ovate, flowers globose. M. muricatus, Kurz For. FL. ii. 384

Branches stout, terete, smooth, branchlets strongly compressed, tips and very 
young leaves covered with golden glands. Leaves 31-7 by 2-4 in., firm, greenish 
rown when dry, base eglandular ; nerves 12-14 pair, and cross-nervules slender, 
irehed ; petiole }-} in., rather stout; stipules broadly ovate, glabrous. Spikes 
1-Lin., sessile, dense- 4d. Male fl. globose, +1; in. diam. ; calyx 3-partite, glandular ; 
stamens about 30, anther-cells separated by a rather narrow connective, shortly oblong 
+, rounded, sometimes divaricate below.—A female specimen bears what I take to be 
TÉ very slender terminal peduncle, 1 in. long, of a capsule that has fallen away. 
b us differs remarkably from the Deccan M. muricatus in its much larger size, large 
road leaves with no tendency to the rhombic form, and especially in the numerous 
pers of nerves. Kurz describes the ovary as densely golden glandular and muricate ; 
a pea Pule as golden glandular shortly sparingly muricate, and the cocci the size of
