Styraz.] XCI. STYRACEX. (C. B. Clarke.) 589 
A tree, sometimes 40 ft. high, or more often a shrub; young branches stellately 
pubescent. Leaves 3 by 14 in., often widest at or above the middle, base acute or 
rounded on the same branch, glabrous, rarely setulose above, stellately pubescent and 
soon glabrate beneath, chartaceous, prominently reticulate ; petiole } in.  Peduncles 
axillary solitary, 2-3-fasciculate, or in small racemes, or (by the suppression of the 
leaves) subpaniculately racemed 3-5 in. long at the ends of the branchlets ` pedicels 
% in. Calyx (at flower time) d in. broad, minutely 5-toothed or truncate. Corolla- 
lobes elliptic, subacute, tomentose without, white. Filaments hairy, attached è in. 
above the corolla-base. Fruit } by à in., ellipsoid, white- or fulvous-tomentose ` 
splitting up irregularly, calyx in fruit enlarged cupuliform j in. wide embracing the 
lower quarter of the fruit. 
Var. agrestis; calyx-tube brown-hirsute with spreading hairs. Cyrta agrestis, 
Ham. in Wall. Cat, 4402.—Sikkim, Bhotan and Assam. 
Var. virgatum ; leaves tapering acuminate usually widest below the middle,

Sieb. & Zwee, Fl. Jap. i. 53, t. 23, united with this in Bot. Mag. t. 5950, somewhat 
differs in the glabrescent calyx and pinkish flowers. 
2. S. Hookeri, Clarke; leaves elliptic acuminate serrulate setulose on 
the nerves above with scattered stellate hairs beneath, pedicels and calyx loosely 
fulvous-tomentose, corolla 3-$ in., style densely stellate-pubescent. Styrax sp.,

Sixxrm and Bnoraw ; alt. 6-7000 ft., frequent, Hook. f., &c. 
Perhaps only an extreme form of S. serrulatum, var. virgatum, but the flowers are 
much larger sometimes 1 in. long; the calyx at flower-time is more than 1 in. broad, 
lax. Fruit as of S. serrulatum. 
3. S.? crotonoides, Clarke; leaves broad-oblong shortly acuminate at 
both ends subentire coriaceous stellately pubescent beneath, fruit 2 by ellipsoid 
indehiscent supported by a woody cupuliform calyx. Crotoni affinis sp., Wall. 
Cat. 7848. 
SINGAPORE; Wallich. 
Branches rusty-stellate-pubescent. Leaves 5 by 2l in., glabrous above, almost 
tomentose, with very close rusty-stellate hairs beneath; nerves 9 pairs, prominent 
beneath; petiole 4 in. Fruits with hard white tomentum (ripe but broken up and 
the seeds gone)— This agrees, as to leaves and fruit, closely with S. suberifolium 
(Hk. & Arn. Bot. Beechey Voy. 196, t. 40), but has much larger leaves and fruits. 
4. S. Benzoin, Dryand. in Phil. Trans. 1787, 308, t. 12; leaves elliptic 
acuminate subentire closely stellately tomentose beneath, pedicels and calyx 
closely white-tomentose, corolla 3 in., style glabrous. Blume Bid. 671; Roxb.

A small tree, resembling S. serrulatum in the inflorescence and flowers. Fruit 
4 in. diam., globose, densely white tomentose. ` 
5. S. rugosum, Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. 1871, pt. ii. 51, and For, Fl ii. 
141; leaves elliptic acuminate serrulate densely stellately white-tomentose 
beneath, pedicels and calyx roughly tomentose, corolla 4 in., style stellately 
tomentose at base. 
Marrapan ; alt. 4-6000 ft., Brandis. 
A tree; branchlets floccosely rusty-tomentose. Leaves 3 by 1} in., base obtuse, 
stellately pubescent or finally glabrous above, coriaceous, reticulate beneath ; petiole
