612 xc. OLEACEX. (C. B. Clarke.) [ Olea. 
A tree, 30 ft., glabrous, not spinous, Leaves 2} by ł in., narrowed at both ends, 
usually obtuse or subacute, sometimes cuspidate, very coriaceous; midrib prominent 
beneath, scales of the lower surface circular peltate closely toothed; petiole ẹ-} m. 
Panicles 1-2 in., minutely scaly; flowers perfect, but many with reduced ovary are 
functionally male. Calyx j5 mm., subtruneate, glabrous. Corolla deeply divided ; 
lobes A in., elliptic, obtuse. — £ndocarp bony.—This was supposed a var. of the Wild 
Olive by Dr. Stewart; Brandis says it differs bythe more lax inflorescence, the upper 
surface of the leaves glossy, not dull grey, the lower surface reddish instead of white, 
smaller fruit, the absence of spines, and a more distinctly marked heartwood. The 
euspidation of the leaves, distinct in Wallich’s specimen, and relied on by Boissier as 
a diagnostic mark, proves variable in the Indian plant. 
2. O. glandulifera, Wail. Cat. 2811; leaves rhomboid-lanceolate 
entire, nerve-axils pinen; secondary nerves distinctly reticulating, panicles 
mostly terminal glabrous or nearly so, flowers bisexual corolloid, ovary glabrous 
or nearly so, drupe A in. ovoid. DC. Prodr. viii, 285; Wight Ic. t. 1238;

margin. Corolla deeply divided, lobes 3 in., elliptic, obtuse. Anthers broad, large. 
Ovary glabrous or (fide Wight) minutely hairy. Lndocarp bony.

A tree 30-60 ft. ; glabrous. Leaves 5} by 2) in, base euneate; nerves 10 pairs, 
elevated beneath; petiole } in. Panicles 2-6 in., very eompound, shining (female 
usually smaller); pedicels 0-3 in. Calya minute; lobes ovate, glabrous or margin 
obscurely pubescent. Corolla of the males deeply lobed ; lobes de in., elliptic, ob- 
tuse; of the females wanting in the examples seen (Kurz says present) — Endocarp 
erustaceous.—O. Wightiana, Wall., is a form from Assam with large leaves but shorter 
subglobose drupes ; m the typical O. dioica the drupes are often subacute.
