TILIACE.E. 607 



E. Variwa, Ham. E.T. Chittasong. 



Glabrous. Petals deeply but simply fnn>;ed. rccliccls 3-4 lines long. Differs 

 from E. prunifolius, Wall., by the silvery silk-hairy iufloroseence and larger flowers. 



* * Petals 2-3-cle/f, the lobes jagged or fringed. Anthers glabrous or puberiilaus. 

 ° Petiole geniculate-tliickcncd at apex. 

 f Injloreseence with long-persistent leafy bracts. 

 E. HUACTEATDS, Kz. E.T. Tropicul forests of Tenasserim. 



All parts, also sepals and iuttorcscencc, glabrous. 



f f Bracts of inflorescence small, rery deciduous. 

 X Ricemes and sepals glabrous or nearly so. 

 E. SIMPLEX, Kz. (IIS.). Tenasserim. 



Evidently nearly allied to E. aristatus, lloxb., Init differing in the shape of the 

 leaves and the glabrous racemes. The flowers conform to those of the preceding 

 species. Griffith's specimens from E. Eengal difl'er only by a puberulous inflorescence, 

 and may also belong here. 



X X Racemes and sepals more or less tomen/ose or pubescent. 



E. GHAXDiFOLius, Kz. Tropical forests of Pegu and Tenasserim. 



Leaves 1-1. V foot long, euneate-acuminato at base, acute. Anthers shorter than 

 the bristle. Drupes puberulous, the putameu slightly compressed. 



E. EUGOsrs, Roxb. E.T. Tropical forests of Pegu and Martaban. 



Leaves ^1 foot long, rounded at the narrowed base. Leaves glabrous or nearly 

 so. Putamen terete. 



° ° Petiole continuous, nut gcnicuJate-thickened at apex. 



E. (MoNOCEUAs) OKANDiFLORUs, Ilook. Toukyagat district. 



Jlonoceras lanceolatum, Hassk. 



Glabrous. Putamen long recurved-aculeate. 



E. LiTTOiiAi-is, T. and B. Tenasserim. 



Putameu lacunose-tubereled. Leaves blunt, very thick coriaceous, glabrous. 



What I have from the Botanical Gardens, Buitenzorg, under the name of 

 Monoceras obtusum, Hassk., belongs to E. rugosus. The Tenasserim plant (with 

 which Griffith's Xo. 700 is identical) has very thick and obtuse leaves, and is, 

 in my opinion, a distinct species. 1 have, therefore, retained the MS. name of 

 Teysm. and Binnend. for the plant. 



Sub-genus El.kocari'is. 



Anthers blunt, or one valve sharply produced. Flowers small. Petals glabrous. 



\ Putamen slightly rimose, or ubsoletely wrinkled. Calyx and pedicels glabrou-i. 



E. Fi.oRinuxDfs, Bl. E.T. Tropical forests from Chittagong to 



E. serratus, Roxb. Tenasserim. Kamorta. 



Leaves glabrous, blistered- .speckled and opaque. Petioles long, thickened at the 

 summit. Anthers bearded. The species is easily recognized in a dried state by its 

 peculiar blistered opatiuc leaves. 



E. LiNCE^FOLius, Roxl). Tcnasscrim {fide Jfasters). 



Leaves glabrous, opaqiu', acuminate. Petiole not gcnieulate-thiekcned. 



E. iiyuEopnii.rs, Kz. Swamp forests of Pegii and Tenasserim. 



Leaves glabrous, blunt or rounded at apex. Petioles short but slender, not 

 thickened. Anthers naked. Drupes unknown.
