450 CXXXV. EUPHORBIACEX. (J.D. Hooker) [Macaranga. 
A tree, 30-40 ft.; branches stout, glabrous to the tips. Leaves 8-12 in. across 
the lateral lobes, dark brown above, eglandular at the concave cordate base, beneath 
paler with strong nerves and slender cross-nervules which bearlong spreading straig t 
hairs, glands invisible ; lobes very broad, distantly minutely toothed; petiole 3-5 » ; 
stipules very large, reniform, glabrous, reflexed but not revolute. Male panicle " 
14 in. ; bracts at the axils glabrous, floral 2 in. long, 5—6-fld. ; flowers 4j; in.; sepals 
membranous, pubescent, eglandular. Fem panicle much shorter, with shorter stouter 
branches; flowers shortly pedicelled ; calyx 3—4-lobed; ovary clothed with yellow 
waxy glands. 
ttt Leaves not peltate, triple-nerved, deltoid -ovate, not lohed.

A shrub (Kurz); branches slender, terete ; pubescence fulvous. Leaves 4-6 M 
3-4 in.. rather membranous, above greyish and minutely stellately pubescent, w! 
pubescent nerves and eglandular base; beneath glandular, with 4-5 pair of slender 
nerves above the basal and slender cross-nervules and reticulations ; petiole 13-2 imr 
stipules lanceolate, tomentose. Male panicles with very slender rachis and branches ; 
floral bracts 4} in., eglandular; flowers ṣẹ in.; sepals villous, cuneate. —The leaves 
of Mueller’s M. Helferi are rather more tomentose beneath than of M. minutifiord 
bot I find no other difference. Perhaps this is only a state of the following; the 
fruit is unknown. 
15. M. trichocarpa, Muell. Arg. in DC. Prodr. xv. ii. 1003; 
branchlets leaves beneath and panicles finely tomentose, leaves ovate Or 
deltoid-ovate acuminate denticulate scaberulous above, panicles very short, 
bracts large ovate pectinately toothed glandular and villous within, for, 
panicles few-fld., capsule 2-lobed clothed with soft bristly white prick a

flowers, Mueller describes the stipules as broad and obtuse. The simple fem. 
inflorescence is that of the following section.
