538 LXXXIX. SAPOTACEX. (C. B. Clarke.) ` [Sideroaylon, 
green, acute, shortly-acuminate, rhomboid at the base, primary nerves 12-15 on each 
side; petiole ¢ in. Calyx-lobes 4 in. oblong-lanceolate, villous. Corolla 1 in. and 
upwards, segments acute, nearly glabrous. Stamens and staminodes as in S. tomen- 
tosum. Fruit (unripe) 1 by 4 in., acute upwards, glabrescent.—This has been 
supposed a var. of S. tomentosum, but the leaves are always acute; none of the 
numerous examples are spinescent.

A tree; shoots minutely rusty-villous. Leaves 74 by 2% in., acuminate, base 
rhomboid or broadly cuneate, mature glabrous, glossy beneath; primary nerves 
10-12 on each side, much raised beneath, secondary obscure; petiole 1 in., Pedicels 
axillary, fascicled, in fruit $ in. Calyx-lobes 5, (in fruit) à ini, ovate, obtuse, 
minutely villous, deflexed. Corolla not seen. Fruit smooth, symmetric ; exocarp 
fleshy, small; endocarp, firm, rather thick, sinuously grooved without. Seed 
conform to the fruit, albumen fleshy, a deep black-blue; embryo small.—Almost 
EEN belonging to this order; but the genus (while flowers are unknown) is 
oubtful.

Trees. Leaves alternate, petioled, coriaceous, glabrous, primary nerves dis- 
tinct. Flowers small, rusty or villous, in axillary clusters, subsessile or shortl 
pedicelled. Caly-segments 4, subequal, imbricated. Corolla deeply 4-lobed, 
somewhat longer than the calyx. Stamens 8, all perfect, attached near the base 
of the corolla, filaments short; anthers oblong-lanceolate, base sagittate ; 
staminodes 0. Ovary villous, 4-celled ; style linear. Berry ellipsoid, usually 
l-seeded, flattened, smooth ; pericarp crustaceous. Testa hard shining, hilum 
lateral, albumen fleshy; embryo large, cotyledons elliptic flat.—Species 6, 
in South India and Ceylon; 1 in the Sandwich Islands. 
In the opinion of Thwaites and Beddome, who are well acquainted with this 
genus in the field, all the Indian species of Wight and A. DC. are varieties of one. 
1. I. villosa, Wight Ic. t. 360; leaves broadly elliptic rounded at both 
ends glabrous, secondary nerves closely reticulated, flowers sessile on very short 
thick lateral spurs. 4. DC. Prodr. viii. 188. 
Born Deccan; Quilon, Wight. 
Branches thick, obscurely rusty, scarcely pubescent at the tips. Leaves 23 by 12 
in, young glabrous, primary nerves } in. apart; petiole A in., minutely rusty.
