276 ENUMERATION OF [£Iuphorhiacece, 



_ A prsccedente, cui valde affinis, differt ramtJh elongatis dcLiIibus ; foUh minus 

 pilosis et ssepius apcrtc cordatis ; cajisula majore elongatioreque, pilis stellatia parce 

 conspersa. 



The present plant bears considerable resemblance to Eosburgh's Croton drupa- 



cenm; but^ besides other differences, the fruit of the latter is much larger and more 



nairy, and the lateral nerves of its leaves form a much more acute angle with the 

 costa.

I think this must be Dr. Wight's plant, as it agrees very well with his figure and 

 short description. It is very closely allied to the two preceding species, from which 

 it is best distinguished by its smaller, and at length glabrous, leaves and capsule ; 

 and by the latter being distinctly trilobed instead of subsphariral.
