length 5 to 7 in., breadth 2 to 3 in., the terminal one a third larger 

 and with more nerves ; petiolules '75 in., that of the terminal leaflet 

 2 in. Panicles several from an axil, 4 to 6 in. long, pubescent, the 

 branchlets short and slender with the flowers crowded near their apices. 

 Flowers '15 in. long, on short pubernlous pedicels. Galyx-teeth 5 or 6, 

 elongate, ovate or lanceolate, pubernlous. Petals 5, longer than the 

 calyx, elliptic-obtuse, erect, pubei-ulous. Stamens 10, distinct, inserted 

 outside the disc, shorter than the petals ; the filaments flattened, but 

 not quite so broad as the ovate anthers, sparsely villous. Disc annular, 

 cushion-like, entii^e, glabrous, surrounding the ovoid-conic, villous, 

 ovary. Style cylindric, thickened upwards, glabrous ; stigma discoid. 

 Unripe fruit (fide Kurz) "oblong, acuminate, greyish-velvetty." Kurz

This has been collected only by Kurz and 1 have never seen its 

 fruit. I believe Kurz's species C. oxycarpa is merely a small-leaved 

 form of this. Kurz distinguishes it from this by its thinner leaves 

 and fainter venation, — characters of little value, I fear. 



5. Walsura robusta, Roxb. Hort. Beng. 32 : Fl. Ind. II, 386. A 

 tree 40 to 60 feet high ; young branches slender, lenticellate, glabrous. 

 Leaves 7 to 12 in. long. Leaflets 3 to 5, sub-coriaceous, ovate-oblong to 

 ovate, entire, bluntly acuminate, the base narrowed ; both surfaces 

 glabrous, the upper shining, the lower dull with the 6 or 7 pairs of 

 curving nerves rather pi^ominent ; length 3 to 5 in., breadth 1*75 to 225 

 in. ; petiolules about "5 in., that of the terminal leaflet 1"5 in. Panicles 

 dense, many-flowered, shorter than the leaves, cinereous-puberulous • 

 bracts (if any) deciduous. Flower-huds hemispheric, tomentose, sub- 

 sessile. Petals '2 in. long (larger than the sepals). Stamens 10 ; the 

 filaments flattened, lanceolate, pubernlous, free from each other, inserted 

 outside the broad, thin, sub-concave, pubescent disk. Ovary depressed- 

 globose, crowned by the thick style, 2-celled, with 2 ovules in each cell ■ 

 stigma discoid with a central mammilla. Fruit elliptic or globular, '75 

 in. in diam., when dry capsular, 2-celled, but one of the cells empty. 

 Seed pendulous, testa membranous, albumen ; the cotyledons fleshy, 

 plano-convex ; the radicle short, superior. Hiern in Hook. fil. Fl. Br.
