594 MONOECIA TETRANDRIA. MoYHS. 



about the beginning of the rains in June. This species much 

 resembles U. nauclifioru, 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. iniBqualifolia. R. 



Shrubby, erect, hispid. Leaves alternate, sessile, une- 

 qually falcate, lanceolate, entire, acuminate. Glomeride.' 

 axillary. 



A native of Chittagong, where it flowers in April. 



MORUS. Schreb. gen. N. 1424. 

 JUale perianth four-leaved. Corol none. Female peri- 

 anth four-leaved. Corol none. Germ one-celled, one-seeded, 

 superior. Styles two. Calyx becoming a berry. Seed one, 

 in each acine. Embryo inverse and furnished with a peri- 

 sperm. 



1. M. a/6a. mVM. iv.368. 



Leaves cordate-serrate, without pubescence, some deeply 

 and variously lobate, other almost palmate. Fruit ovate, ob- 

 long, white. 



Found in gardens in several parts of India and varying so 

 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 plants cultivated in the Botanic garden 

 at Calcutta.
