and panicles have many minute soft spreading hairs. Wight supposed it to be Olea 
microcarpa, Vahl (i.e. Phillyrea indica, Lour. Fl. Cochinch. 19), but Loureiro says his 
plant had terminal inflorescence, so that it should more probably be one of the globose- 
Íruited Ligustrums allied to (or identical with) a Khasia or Chinese species. 
5. O. dentata, Wall. Cat. 2840; branchlets hairy, leaves oblong-lanceo- 
late toothed or entire coriaceous, secondary nerves obscure, panicles axillary 
large hairy, flowers dicecious, corolla in both sexes campanulate shortly 4-fid.

A tree, 40-60 ft. (Kurz). Leaves 5 by 14 in., base cuneate or subobtuse, glabrous 
or sometimes hairy beneath; nerves slender, often subimpressed beneath; petiole 4 
in. Panicles (both male and female) 3-6 in., brachiate ; bracts small, linear or 3-2 in., 
very narrow, hairy; pedicels 0—} in., with flowers in threes. Calyx minute ; lobes 
ovate, pubescent. Corolla à-l in., almost tubular-campanulate, subequally 4-lobed. 
Ovary glabrous; style 0; stigma subtruncate. Drupe not seen.—This plant has been 
mixed with O. maritima, from which it hardly differs but by the campanulate shortly- 
divided corolla, and with Linociera ternifolia, in which the corolla is nearly divided 
into 2 bifid petals and the panicle much smaller. 
Van. salicifolia, Wall. Cat. 2821 (sp.); panicles much less hairy, pedicels 3-7 in. 
subumbelled, corolla A in., drupes A by } in. narrow ellipsoid, endocarp bony, seed 
- albuminous DC. Prodr. viii. 286.—Khasia; Wallich, Griffith; at the Bor-pani, H. 
f. & T.—This is placed with O. dentata by Kurz, the leaves are remarkably similar, 
and one of Griffith's Mergui examples in flower seems nearer the Khasia O. salicifolia 
than the Birma O. dentata; but the seeds of O. dentata remain unknown, and may 
prove to be exalbuminous, when the species will stand near Linociera terniflora.

Nearly glabrous. Leaves 44 by 4 in., parallel-sided, long acuminate, base cuneate ; 
nerves obscure; petiole } in. Panicles 24 in., brachiate; bracts minute; pedicels 
0-Lin. Calyx less than A in., subtruneate. ciliate. Anthers subsessile, oblong, large. 
Ovary glabrous ; style short, stigma short bifid, Fruit sometimes nearly 1 by à in. ; 
endocarp bony. Seed albuminous.—One or two hermaphrodite flowers (without 
corolla) are seen at the base of the female panicles. The New Zealand O. apetala 
has broader less acuminate leaves and shorter, far less compound, subracemose 
panicles. 
7. O. polygama, Wight Ic. tt. 1239, 1240; glabrous, leaves broadly

A small tree. Leaves 23 by 14in., obtuse, mucronate, base cuneate ` nerves 8 pairs, 
subimpressed beneath; petiole } in. Panicles 1-2} in. ; male on one tree, female- 
hermaphrodite on another; bracts inconspicuous; pedicels dek in., subumbelled. 
Flowers as of O. dioica. Drupe not seen.—This differs from O. dioica slightly; the 
leaves dry reddish with subincurved margins, the nerves are not elevated beneath ; 
the panicles are smaller; it looks like a high-level, somewhat stunted O. dioica.
