brous ought to afford sufficient grounds of distinction. What renders the 
Whole more ambiguous is the numerous typographical errors observable in 
the descriptions of these species in the Flora Indica. 
973. (10) T. coriacea (W. & A.:) bark deeply cracked: leaves nearly op- 
posite, short-petioled, coriaceous, oval, cordate at the base, hard above, 
hoary and soft beneath, with 1 or 2 sessile turbinate glands at or near the 
base of the midrib: spikes panicled: nut hoary.—Pentaptera coriacea, Rowb.

§ 4. Drupes coriaceous, produced into 3-5 unequal wings.—Chuncoa, Pav.— 
Gimbernatia, Ruiz & Pav. 
974. (11) T. paniculata (W. & A.:) branches diverging : leaves nearly op- 
posite, linear-oblong, with a cordate base, acute or obtuse at the apex, quite 
entire, coriaceous, rugose above, with sessile umbilicate glands beneath near 
the base: spikes forming a compound panicle : drupe with 1 large and 2 small 
wings.—2 ; leaves glabrous.— Wight ! cat. n. 1049.—Pentaptera paniculata,

IL. GETONIA. Rowb.; Gertn. fr. 3. t. 217.—Calycopteris, Lam. ill. t. 357. 
Limb of the calyx persistent, campanulate, 5-partite almost to the base, 
the lobes lanceolate and 3-nerved. Petals none. Stamens 10, protruded, 
shorter than the calycine segments, arranged in a double row, some inserted 
on the sinus of the lobes, others into the bottom of the calyx : anthers globose, 
didymous. Style filiform, pubescent, obtuse. Fruit a small dry crustaceous 
drupe (resembling a nut or seed), ovate-oblong, roundish pentagonal, crown- 
ed by the calyx, 1-celled, l-seeded.—Climbing shrubs. Leaves opposite, 
shortly petioled, resinous-dotted beneath, young ones villous or tomentose 
particularly on the under side. 
975. (1) G. floribunda (Roxb.:) panicles erect : stamens as long as the seg- 
ments 3 ui ore Cor. M 87; fl. Ind.2. p. 428 ; Spr. syst. 2. p. 360 ;

De Candolle, relying principally on the leaves being more glabrous, has re- 
ferred G. nitida, Roth, to G. nutans of Roxburgh, a species which has not 
been found on the Peninsula. We have specimens before us from Heynes 
herbarium exactly agreeing with Roth’s character, but they are wa by 
Heyne, and properly so, with the more tomentose states of the plant. » A 
nutans, Roxb., the panicles are drooping and the stamina about océans pr 
the length of the tube of the calyx: but Dr Wallich has expressed doubts 
even this be distinct from G. floribunda. 
III. CONOCARPUS. Gertn. fr. 2. t. VIT. 
_ Flowers agpregated on a common globular receptacle. Tube of the calyx as 
short as or longer than the ovary, persistent : limb 5-cleft, deciduous. Petals 
none. Stamens 5-10, exserted : anthers cordate: ovary compressed, 2-ovuled. 
Style 1, simple. Fruits coriaceous, scale-like, closely imbricated, indehis- 
cent. Cotyledons spirally convolute.—Trees or shrubs. Leaves alternate or 
rarely nearly opposite, quite entire. Heads of flowers peduncled.
