** Petals present. Calyx cleft to ^ or to near the lane. 

 N. RunESCEXs, Hiern. Toiiasserim. 



Leaflets firmly coriaceous, glauc<<sceiit lieiU'atli, in drying fusccsccnt, the lateral 

 nerves thin and sliglitly prominent. Fruit-lubes oblong, shortly murieatc, the muriees 

 about a line long, sharp. 



* N. nvpoLEUcuM, Kz. Tropical forests on Eastern Slopes of 



I'egu llange and cultivated. 



Leaflets thin coriaceous, more or less glauoescent beneath, the numerous (11-20) 

 lateral nerves strongly prominent beneath. Fruit-lobes ovoid-oblong, the size of 

 11 plum, perfectly glabrous, strongly tubercled, as in ^V. litehi, but not tesselatc. 



*jS'. (EupnoRiA) LoxGAXA, Laiiilv. Tropical forests on Eastern Slopes of 



Pegu Range, and cultivated. 



As preceding, but leaflets usually smaller. Fruit-lobes globose, the size of 

 a small cherry, obsoletely tubercled or almost smooth, minutely tawny-vclvety all over. 



PoMETiA, Forster. 



Fruit-lobes 1-3, separated to the base, the pericarp corticate, smootli. Seeds 

 arillate at the lower end. Hardly different fi-om Nephelium. 



P. TOMKXTOSA, Bth. and H. f. Tropical forests of the Andamans and Katchall. 



Eceremanthus exiiniiis, Thw. 



Distinguishable at once from P. pinnata, Forst., by its small and very differently 

 shaped fruits (Kurz). 



** Fruit a dry dehiseent capsule, the ralecs from woody to coriaceous and membranous. 



° Ovules solitary in each cell. 



X Trees or shruis. Leaves pinnate. Capsule coriaceous or woody. Flowers regular. 



f Petals cucullate, or the Made shorter than the cucuUate scale. 



PAiiAxr.rnKi.u'M, Miquel. 



Petals broadly trigonous, smaller than the cucullate scales. Style long. Capsule 

 3-valveii, woodj-, tubercled or murieatc. Leaves pinnate, the end-leaflets ternato. 

 P. .XKSTonivi.i.rM, llicj. Tenasserim (Mauluiain district). 



In HBC. are some leaves from the Khakycn Hills which api)arently represent 

 a second JUirraese species of this genus, if they should not be identical with lliern's 

 Seyphopetalum, the description of which is too imperftct to enable one to recognize 

 the plant intended. They have the 3 end-leaflets similarly ternatc, and in texture 

 and nervatiire are almost the .same as above (Kurz). 



ScYpnopETALUJi, Hiern. 



Style obsolete. Petals cucullate, without scale. 



S. RAMiFLouuir, Hiern. Ava, Hill-forests of Hookhoom Valley (GrilT.). 



I have not seen thi.s jilant, and place it near Paranephelium simply by guess. 

 The petals are differently <lcs(ribed and the style is said to be obsolete, — characters 

 which would keep it distinct from Mi(piers genus. 



f f Petals flat or nearly so, longer than the scale if present, or the petals minute or 

 wanting altogether. 



CiTAxiA, Linneeus, 



Calyx cup-shaped or the sepals distinct. Capsule 3-quetrous or didyraous. 



Sub-genus Eu-cupaxia. 



Capsules clavatc-pyriform, conspicuously 3-lobed or angular, coriaceous.
