594 MONOECIA TETRANDRIA, Morus. 
about the beginning of the rains in June. This species much 
resembles U. naucliflora, but the leaves differ widely in 
shape; the female glomerules as well as the male ones are in 
crowded panicles, and all being void of fragrance, point them 
out very distinct species. : 
25. U. inequalifolia. R. 
Shrubby, erect, hispid. Leaves alternate, sessile, une- 
qually falcate, lanceolate, entire, acuminate. Glomerules 
axillary. 
A native of Chittagong, where it flowers in April. 
MORUS. Schreb. gen. N. 1424.

_anth four-leaved. Corol none. Germ one-celled, one-seeded, 
superior. Styles two, Calyx becoming a berry, Seed one,

1 M. alba, Willd. iv. 368. 
Leaves cordate-serrate, without pubescence, some deeply 
and variously lobate, other almost palmate, Fruit ovate, oe 
long, white. 
Found in gardens in several parts of India and varying $0 
much by culture .as to render it difficult to give a better de- 
finition than the above. _ It does not appear to be cultivated 
in every part of India for its leaves to feed silk-worms, The 
fruit rather small » juicy, but insipid, 
In Bengal it blossoms about the end of the cold season, 
and the fruit ripens in about six weeks, or two months after- 
wards, It appears to be dioecous, for I have only met with 
female flowers on the Baer cultivated in the Botanic nee 
at Colentia.
