 Planch, and Tri. 1. c. 254. C. P. 2446. 



Fl. B. Ind. i. 275. 



A large or small tree, twigs quadrangular, glabrous ; 

 1. small, ^\-2\ in., obovate-oval or slightly rhomboid, acute 

 at base, obtuse or bluntly acuminate, lat. veins fine, petioles 

 very short ; fl. large, nearly i in. diam., in few-fld. axillary 

 racemes at the ends of the branches and exceeding the 1., 

 ped. long, f in., bracts | in., glabrous ; sep. and pet. 4, spread- 

 ing, the latter longer; fr, globular-ovoid, f in., pointed, smooth. 



Lower montane zone; rare. Only in N. E. mountain region, between 

 4000-5000 ft. Madulkelle; Rangala; Hunasgiriya. Fl. April ; white. 



Endemic. 



Thwaites has described the seed of this species (Kew Journ. Bot. vi. 

 72) as having a moderate-sized well-developed deep green embryo 

 immersed in an abundant endosperm ; and his original drawing at Pera- 

 deniya shows this structure. I have not had the opportunity of examining 

 the seed, so as to be able to confirm this. The curious 2-lipped galls 

 described under C. Walkeri occur also in this species. 



A plant from Dolosbagie (in fruit only) may be this, but has longer 

 leaves and the fruit more acuminate. 



9. C. cuneifolium, Thw. Entan. PL ZeyL 51 (1858). 

 Planch, and Tri. 1. c. 261. C. P. 2917. 



Fl. B. Ind. i. 275. 



A large tree, with dark bark, twigs glabrous ; 1. small, 

 \\-2 in., rhomboid-lanceolate or spathulate, obtuse or retuse, 

 tapering to cuneate base and short petiole, veins coarse, very 

 prominent ; fl. f in., in erect, axillary racemes scarcely longer 

 than the 1., ped. stout, glabrous ; sep. 4, two inner larger ; 

 pet. 4-8, inner ones shorter ; fr. globular, \ in., smooth. 



Lower montane zone; very rare. Nugatenne; Medamahanuwara; 

 Debedde near Badulla. Fl. June ; white.

 C. P. 3823. 



Fl. B. Ind. i. 275. 



A very large tree, twigs quadrangular, at fir'^t pilose with 

 ferrugineous hair ; 1. large, 4-6 in., oblong-oval, obtuse, very 

 shortly stalked, cordate at base, margins slightly recurved, 

 very coriaceous, veins rather coarse, prominent ; fl. large, i in, 

 or more diam., in terminal panicles equalling or somewhat 

 exceeding the 1., ped. very stout, tomentose ; sep. 4, two outer 

 densely tomentose outside, two inner much longer, with a hairy 

 midrib ; pet. 4, orbicular, \ in.; fr. not seen. 



Moist low country; very rare. Only found in Hiniduma Reserved 

 Forest, in Sept. 1863.
