6 FLOKULA HONGKOKGENSIS. 



latis glabris. Capsula 3 lin. diametro, tricocca, extus glandulis par- 

 vis tomento stellato et pilis longis basi ramosis vestita. 

 Common iu woods. The species is certainly in its villous male 



flowers and in some other respects allied to C. laccifi 



leaves are very much narrower, not at all cordate, the flowers consi- 

 derably smaller, the stamens fewer (although I do not find in C. lacci- 

 ferum quite so many as are represented in Wight, Ic. t. 1915); and it 

 is moreorer remarkable by the stipitate glands along the margin of the 

 leaves on the underside. As to the genus, it certainly would be in- 

 cluded in Croton, even uuder the most limited definition hitherto pub- 

 lished by Klotzsch; but that character would also include C, Tiglitm, 

 which that botanist has more recently separated under the generic 

 name of Tiglium (PL Meyen. p. 418). I cannot, from the description 

 there given, discover the grounds of the separation, nor form any idea 

 whether he would refer the present species with it to Tiglium or leave 

 it in Croton, 



There are in the collection two other specimens apparently of species 

 belonging to the CrotonecB^ but insufficient for determination.

 Nepal, which I have also from other parts of the Himalaya, appears to 

 be the same species.
