S8 XLVi. ANACARDIACE^. (J. D. Hooker.) [Holigama. 



coriaceous, shining al-ove, pale and reticulated beneath ; nerves 20-30 pairs, very prO; 

 ininent "beneath ; petiole \ in., spurs 1 or 2 on each side \~^ in. Panicles terminal, $ 

 51 foot long, much branched, clothed -with ferruginous tomentum, $ shorter. Flowers 

 clustered, $ about \ in. diam. Styles 3, Dritpe ovoid, glabrous, | in. long, upper 

 ^ or :J exserted. — Kurz gives this as a native of Pcg\i, but the plants he sends to Key 

 under this name are in part the true H, longifolia of Koxburgh, and in part H, albi- 

 cans. H. Grahaviii diiFers from H. hngifolia in the leaf beihg more triangular at 

 the top, not rounded and suddenly acuminate.

Western PENiNsriA ; Anamallay hills, Beddmne. 



An enormous tree, Beddome. Leaves y,'\iQU old 10 in. long, coriaceous, densely 

 velvety, rufous ; nerves 18-22 pairs, stout, ferruginous, those of young plants 20 in, 

 long, membranous, ciliate -with long hairs on the margin midrib and xander sxirfaces; 

 nerves slender 40-50 pairs, horizontal in the lower very elongated portion, more 

 arching above; petiole short; stipular spurs capillary, caducous,— A very fine species 

 of vhich the leaves only are knoTiN'n.

 coriaceous acuminate sbining and reticulate above wHte beneatb and glabrous 

 or very minutely pubescent in the midrib only laxly reticulate, panicle pubes-

Branchlets as thick as the thumb. Leaves 2-4 in. broad, base not decurrent on 

 the petiole, obtuse; midrib stout faintly gi'ooved; nerves 14-18 pairs all raised, 

 arched ; petiole |-J in. Panicle of <J peduncled, rachis curved, branches very 

 slender, spreading ; of ? also much branched and spreading. Flowers S only seen. 

 Sepals small. Petals obtuse, pubescent. Filaments very slender. Disi pubescent. 

 Drupe pedi celled, ^ in. diam. when dry, turgid, somewhat compressed, very oblique, 

 the exposed portion much smaller, convex, pubenilous. —Apparently a very dis- 

 tinct species, of which a large-leaved specimen from Kurz is marked H. Grahamit, 

 Kurz {Semccarjm.^ Viight.) I find no trace of spurs on the petiole, but have seen 

 no very young leaves. Kurz describes this as beard-like. 



17. ZaSXiANOCBTXiA, Hook. f. 



Trees. Leaves simple, very coriaceous, exstipulate, quite* entire. Panicles 

 branched, axillary and terminal. Flotvers small, imisexual. Calyx-tube per-

 lobes 5, erect. Petals 6, inserted on the edge of the disk, very coriaceous, per- 

 sistent, erector suberect, villous in front, valvate. Disk lining the calyx-tube. 

 Stamem inserted on the edge of the disk, filaments stout, sometimes coherent at 

 the base with tbe petals villous j anthers oblong. Ova?'^ globose, 1-celled ', 

 style short, stigmas 3; ovule 1, pendulous from near tbe top of the cell. Drupe 

 globose, areolate at the base by the enlarged calyx, flesh full of black varnish ; 

 stone thick, bard. Seed oblong, testa thin; cotyledons amygdaloid, radicle
