LXi. LTTHEACE^. (C. B. Clarke.) 



[Crypieronia:' 



top of the calyx-tube. Ovarij free, globose, 2-celled ; style long, stigma capitate .i 

 suVS-fid; ovules many, placentas axile. Capsule 2-celled, globose, pubescent, \,>J 

 crowned by the persistent style, dehiscent at the vertex across the dissepiment v' 

 so as to divide the style; fruit-pedicel deflexed. Seeds many, long-ellipsoid, ., 

 testa produced at each end. — Distrib. Species 5 extending from Eastern Ben- ; 

 gal to the Philippines. — The branches appear all functionally dioecious : those 

 that perfect seed have all the stamens with short filaments : those that have ^ 

 stamens with lone^ filaments have an ovarv and stvle but set no seed.

Tree 30 ft. (attaining 80 ft. fide Kurz) ; branchlets nearly glabrous.' Leaves 

 3-4| in., from broad-elliptic to lanceolate, narrowed at both ends ; pubescence beneath 

 yellowish or brownish. Panicles pubescent ; pedicels scarcely ^^ in. CalyJt^ very 

 small, in fruit being quite flat, not at all cup-shaped. Capsule in H. pubescens Wall. 

 exactly the same size as in H. affinis Planch, : in both the fruits are sometimes barren 

 and twice the normal size, probably from the attack of an insect. 



Var. Hookeri; leaves glabrous beneath, panicle pubescent or rarely glabrous. C

 (No. 2512 Kew Distrib.). Malaya; Maingay No. G 50-2. —Henslovia leptostachys, 

 Planch, (with which H. paniculata, Miq. coincides) diflfers by the smaller flowers 

 much more remotely placed on more slender racemes. From Kurzs description 

 (glabrous leaves) it seems that his C. paniculata exactly coincides with Wallahs 

 H. Hookeri, and does not include (as Mr. Kurz supposes it does) the plant of Gnffitn. 

 C. pubescens and C. glabra may possibly be united under C. paniculata^ Blume, but 

 C. Griffithii is distinct.
