common petiole : leaflets 7-11, on long stalks, ovate-oblong, acute or shortly 
acuminated, quite entire, glabrous: panicle terminal, divaricated ; flowers

_ Konig states that, in the wild plant, the nut has three cells, but when cul- 
tivated two of them generally disappear; this may explain the difference be- 
tween Geertner’s figure and those of Konig and Rumph; but we incline to 
Suspect that what Geertner has figured belongs to Rumph’s t. 48, and that it 
constitutes a different species. 
538. (2) C. strictum (Roxb. :) young parts densely clothed with rusty co- 
loured short pubescence: stipules subulate: leaflets 9-15, stalked, ovate or 
ovate-lanceolate, acuminated, at length serrulate-ciliate, hairy—Roab. fl.

Introduced into the Botanic Garden of Calcutta, where it does not appear 
to have flowered. We consider it a very doubtful species. The leaves are 
described to be 3-4 feet long ; and the leaflets about a foot, by six inches

XIII. GARUGA. Rozb. 
Flowers bisexual. Calyx campanulate, 5-furrowed, 5-cleft: segments 
erect, Petals 5, linear, inserted into the mouth of the calyx between its 
lobes, and under the margins of the divisions of the torus : sestivation valvular, 
With the margin curved in. Stamens 10, about equal, 5 inserted with the 
petals, 5 at the base of the calycine segments: filaments hairy at the base. 
Torus thin, fleshy, 5-cleft ; divisions closely adhering to the calyx, opposite 
to its segments; each with an obtusely almost glandular emarginate apex 
(resembling a gland placed on each side of every petal). Ovary sessile, ovate, 
5-celled : style thick, about as long as the petals. Stigma 5-lobed. Drupe 
globose, fleshy, with from 1-5 one-seeded nuts.—Large trees. Leaves une- 
qually pinnated: leaflets nearly sessile, crenate-serrated. Flowers panicled. 
Although unnoticed by De Candolle, the torus or disk is very conspicuous, lining 
the tube ot the calyx. The stamens that alternate with the petals, although appa- 
rently unconnected with the torus, yet in reality must be attached to a thin e 
of it, expanded between the darker coloured divisions, to which alone in the " n» 
character we have applied the term. We do not understand what De Mec Dno 
means by saying, that are are 5 glands, one between every pair of stamens: inel 
Meant the bifid extremities of the divisions of the torus, he must have descri 
ds, alternate with the stamens, or a pair between every petal.
