Tree. 
t Species only known by name from Roxburgh’s Hortus Ben- 
galensis, p. 42 and 92, but some of these are probably identical 
with some of those described above, 
26 E. aristàtus, Roxb. Silhet. 27 E. serrulatus, Roxb. 
Tinnevilly. 28 E. robústus, Roxb. Silhet. 29 E. lùcidus,

tuberculàtus, Roxb. Chittagong. 32 E. pilòsus, Roxb. Mas- 
cal Island. 
Cult. Elæocárpus is a very curious and ornamental genus 
of trees. They will thrive well in a mixture of loam and peat; 
and ripe cuttings will root in sand under a hand-glass; those of 
the stove species in heat. Seeds of some of the species will 
rìpen, if pains be taken to fertilize the stigmas when they are

in full bloom. The green-house species are well adapted for a 
conservatory. 
II. ACERA'TIUM (from a, priv. and cepac, keras, a horn; 
because the stamens are destitute of the terminal bristles, which 
are so conspicuous in the preceding and following genus). D.C, 
prod. 1. p. 519.

tive of Amboyna. Leaves opposite, elliptic-oblong, rather pu- 
bescent on the nerves, furnished with a few mucronated teeth. 
Peduncles terminal, 3-flowered. Flowers white ? 
Opposite-leaved Aceratium. Clt. 1818. ‘Tree. 
Cult. This tree will thrive well in a mixture of loam and 
peat, and ripe cuttings will root in sand under a hand-glass, in 
heat. 
Calyx of 5 .sepals. 
Anthers

2 D.? serra`ra (Forst. gen. p. 80.) leaves opposite, ovate,

3 D. craspe'pum (Gmel. syst. D. C. prod. 1. p. 520.) leaves 
oblong, crenated, ending in a reflexed point ; spike subterminal, 
crowded ; flowers'monogynous ; berry of one many-seeded cell.

rium, Lour. coch. 336. Elæocárpus tectdrium, Poir. suppl.

The wood is used for building houses in Cochin-china, and the 
leaves for roofing them. 
Fringed-flowered Dicera. Tree 50 feet. 
Cult. The species of Dicera thrive well in a mixture of 
loam and peat; and ripe cuttings will root in sand under a 
hand-glass.
