586 XCI. STYRACEX. (C. B. Clarke.) [ Symplocos. 
style glabrous. Fruit } by i-i in. ellipsoid, smooth; calyx-rim scarcely ij in, 
broad ; lobes 4 in., patent. 
53. S. minor, Clarke ; leaves small elliptic subobtuse serrulate hispid on the 
nerves beneath, racemes 3-14 in. patently fulvous-hirsute, calyx-tube glabrous. 
S. hirsuta, Thwaites Enum, 185, var. 8 minor, mostly. S. elegans, Thwaites l. c., 
var. B, partly. 
Cryton ; Macrae, Walker, Gardner, Thwaites (C.P. 273, 155). 
Leaves lj by 3 in. obtuse or very suddenly acute, base rounded, coriaceous, 
margin recurved, nervation strong beneath. Bracts caducous. Fruit by 1 in, 
cylindric, smooth ; calyx-rim as wide as the top of the fruit.—Allied to 8. latiflora, 
and treated as a variety of it by Thwaites, but there are no examples intermediate 
between the two forms. 
Var. eugenioides, Champ. ms. ; branchlets adpressedly fulvous-pilose at the tips 
only, leaves very small glabrous or nearly so, racemes scarcely 1 in. long 1-2- (rarely 
4-) flowered nearly glabrous.—Ceylon, Walker ; Horton Plains, Champion. 
Var. glabrescens, Thwaites ms.; branchlets early glabrous, leaves coriaceous, 
racemes short few-flowered densely fulvous-villous.—Ceylon ; Central Provinces, alt. 
6000 ft., Thwaites.—Resembles S. microphylla. Placed with S. minor by Thwaites, 
but differs in the glabrousness of the leaves, and dense fulyous hairy spikes, 
54. S. elegans, Thwaites Enum. 185, var. a only ; leaves broadly elliptic 
acutely acuminate adpressed rufous-hirsute on the midrib beneath, racemes 
3-13 in. slender rufous-hairy, calyx glabrous, Bedd. For. Man. 151. 
CEYLON ; alt. 5-7000 ft., Champion, Thwaites. 
Possibly a var. of S. latiflora, Clarke. Leaves 2 by 1 in., base rounded, slightly 
crenate-serrate. acemes more slender, bracts narrower, flowers smaller than in 
S. latiflora. 
55. S. hebantha, Thwaites ms.; leaves elliptic acuminate subentire 
glabrescent, spikes 1-3 in. densely villous, calyx-tube glabrous teeth silky. 
Cryton ; Songalla, Thwaites (C.P. 3918). 
Branchlets villous. Leaves 3$ by 2 in., base rounded, coriaceous, sparsely pilose 
on the nerves beneath; nerves 7 pairs, conspicuous beneath, sub-parallel; petiole 
gin. Spikes stout, dense; bracts more than ł in., ovate, densely hairy.—This may 
be a Ceylon form of S. Beddomei ; but differs in the leaves rounded at the base, less 
crenate. 
56. S. cordifolia, Thwaites Enum. 187; leaves large cordate elliptic 
nearly sessile glabrous, spikes stout densely villous crowded near the ends of 
the branches, calyx-tube glabrous teeth villous. Bedd. For. Man. 151. 
Cryton ; alt. 6-7000 ft., Macrae, &c. 
A tree; branchlets thick. Leaves 6 by 23 in. (sometimes much larger), scarcely 
acute, rounded or attenuate at the base but always cordate at the petiole, minutely 
denticulate, coriaceous; nerves 13 pairs, distinct beneath ; petiole 0-1 in. Spikes 
2-4 in., often 8-12 quasi-fasciculate at the ends of the branches; bracts 1-4 in, 
ovate, villous. Calya-tube 7; in., teeth à in. Petals l in., elliptic. Stamens 60. 
Dise hairy. Fruit 4 by 1 in, cylindric; calyx-teeth enlarged, triangular, densely 
hairy. 
57. S. apicalis, Thwaites Enum. 187; leaves large obovate-lanceolate 
acuminate glabrous, spikes 1-2 in. hirsute, calyx-tube hairy. Bedd. For. Man. 
151. 
Cryton ; Moon; Reigam Corle and between Ratnapoora and Galle at no great 
elevation, Thwaites. 
Subarboreous (Thwaites); branchlets hairy, afterwards nearly glabrous. Leaves 
clustered at the end of the branchlets or the lower sometimes whorled, 13 by 6 in.,
