446 CXXXV. EUPHORBIACEEZ. (J. D. Hooker.) [Macaranga. 
A small tree, branchlets not very stout, woody, glabrous. Leaves 3-5 by 14-2 in., 
very obscurely sinuate-crenate, thinly coriaceous, base rounded shortly and obscurely 
triple-nerved with 2 glands above the base, ‘glands of under surface very obscure 
and sunk in the tissue of the leaf, but on some leaves there are very conspicuous 
large circular black glands; nerves 10-12 pair, very slender; petiole 3-1 in., very 
slender ; stipules at the tips of the branches, minute. Male panicles subtomentosely 
pubescent ; flowers 34; in. diam., pubescent and glandular.—I have seen only male 
flowers of this very distinct plant, which differs in habit and altogether in stipules from 
the two preceding. In stipules it resembles the group with M. javanica. 
tt Leaves deltoid-ovate, peltate, entire.

A small evergreen tree; young parts rusty-tomentose ; branches and petioles at 
length hoary and rather glaucous. Leaves 4-12 in. diam., thinly coriaceous, rather 
longer than broad, base truncate with 2 glands above, glands beneath dense; nerva 
6 or more pairs above the basal, strong beneath; petiole 2—4 in.; stipules small, 
ovate-lanceolate, tomentose, fugacious. Male panicles 4-6 in., hoary, with ver 
slender rachis, horizontal branches, and minute clusters of globose glandular sn 
pubescent flowers; bracts small, sometimes expanding into an elliptic tomentose 
lamina; sepals 2-3, hemispheric. Fem. panicles smaller than the males; calyx 
3-4 lobed ; stigmas very short, linguiform, recurved. Capsules X in. diam., didy- 
mous, black, with yellow glands. Seeds globose, black.— Mueller describes the leaves 
as eglandular, probably through inadvertence. I find no difference between the 
Indian plants named denticulata and gummi*fiora, or their distribution, but I have seen 
no typical specimen of tbe former, which was described from a Javan plant, or of the 
latter which is a Sumatran one. Gamble gives Darjeeling alt. 5000 ft. as a locality 
for both.
