Prosorus Indica, Dalz. 
Both male and female specimens of this plant have long lain in my 
herbarium unnamed, the former as a tree of which the female had not 
been found, and the latter vice versé, it having never till very lately 
occurred to me that there was any relationship between them. The 
male flowers, which are minute, appear along with the young leaves in 
March, and the ripe fruit is found in the rains. The genus comes 
very near to Fäggea, from which it differs in the quaternary division 
of the perianth, the fewer stamina, the absence (in the male flowers) of 
nectarial glands and rudimentary ovary, notwithstanding the habit is 
entirely that of Flüggea. Perhaps this is the plant alluded to by Dr. 
Wight in his note on Fäggea leucopyrus, Ic. 1875, where he says, 
“ On the eastern slopes of the Neilgherries a very distinct form occurs 
in great abundance, flowering during the earlier months of the year, 
and much more luxuriant than any I have seen on the plains. Jt is 
perhaps a distinct species, a point which I regret to say I have never 
determined by careful comparison.” Gen. name from zpocopos, affinis.
