An excellent plant for hedges. Flowers small, in both this and the last 3 
petals oblong, scarcely more than a line and a-half long. 
93. (12) C. pedunculosa (Wall. :) stipules thorny, hooked : leaves roundish 
ovate, obtuse, cordate at the base, very shortly petioled, glabrous: umbels 
sessile, terminal, often on very short axillary branches, few (2-5)-flowered : 
pedicels and calyx glabrous: ovarium globose, pointed, glabrous: fruit glo- 
bose, with several seeds.— Wall. ! L. n. 6999 s, Wight! cat. n. 89—Near

94. (13) C. grandis (Linn.:) shrubby: stipules none on the younger 
branches ; extremely short and resembling a small sharpish wart on the older : 
leaves roundish-ovate, usually cuneate at the base, acute or somewhat obtuse 
at the apex, glabrous above, pubescent beneath ; older ones almost glabrous: 
Tacemes terminal, at the end of the branches, or on axillary branchlets, be- 
tween longish-corymbiform and almost umbelliform : pedicels and calyx pu- 
bescent: ovary globose, pointed, glabrous: berry globose, 2-seeded.—z ; leaves

95. (14) C. diversifolia (W. & A. :) shrubby : stipules short, hooked : leaves 
on the older branches linear, acuminated ; on the younger oblong-lanceolate, 
acuminated ; all mucronate, reticulated, quite glabrous: corymbs umbelli- 
Tm, sessile at the extremities of the narrow-leaved branches, few (2-8)- 
flowered : pedicels about equal to the calyx, and with it puberulous: ovary 
narrow-oblong, glabrous.— Wight ! cat. n. 952. 
96. (15) C. aphylla (Roxb.:) glabrous: stipules thorny, short, nearly 
Straight: leaves (on the young shoots only) linear-subulate, mucronate, al- 
most twice the length of the stipules, caducous : flowers corymbose ; corymbs 
nearly sessile, from the axils of the stipules: ovarium globose, pointed, gla- 
brous.— Roxb. hort. Bengh. p. 41 ; Roth. nov. sp. p. 238 ; DC. prod. 1. p. 246;

. Neither flower nor fruit have been examined by us: the section to which 
At belongs is therefore doubtful: it is readily distinguished by being quite gla- 
prous, and by its leaves scarcely above a line wide, although almost two 
Inches long. The stipules are divaricated or parallel on the same specimen. 
erhaps it may prove a oung vigorous shoot of C. aphylla. We do not 
know whether Wallich's List n. 6988 is referable here or not.
