 t. 1906. A shrub or small tree ; branchlets slender, angled, glabrous. 

 Leaves 3-4| by l-li in., elliptic-lanceolate, acuminate, glabrous, base 

 acute, often unequal-sided ; main nerves 6-8 pairs, slender ; petioles

 males and females together. Male flowees : Pedicels ^-| in. long, 

 slender, glabrous or pubescent. Sepals 6, ovate, obtuse, j-^-y^ ^^- ^^ng, 

 glabrous. Staminal-column ^^ in. high ; anthers 3, free; connectives

 s^~'io ^"- ^'^i^S' glfibrous or uearlj^ so, 6-toothed at the apex. Capsules 

 |— 5 in. in diam., depressed-globose, 4-lobed, pubescent. Fl. B. I. v. 5,

In the Flora of B. I. 1. c. the capsules are said to be h in. in diam., 

 which seems an error. In an excellent fruiting specimen from Ainshi, 

 N. Kanara {Talbot, 1856 !), the capsules are less than \ in. in diam., and 

 the male pedicels are pubescent, while Wight's figure shows small 

 capsules, and Talbot (Trees, Bomb. 1. c.) calls them very small.

7. Glochidion Hohenackeri, Bedd. For. Man. in Flor. Sylvat. 

 (1873) p. cxciii. A middle-sized tree quite glabrous. Leaves 2|-6 by 

 1-1| in., elliptic-lanceolate, acutely or obtusely acuminate, base usually 

 acute; main nerves 6-10 pairs, slender; petioles i— ^ in. long; stipules 

 1-^ in. long, obliquely triangular, acute. Male flowers greenish- 

 yellow, on capillary pedicels reaching | in. long. Calyx partite nearly 

 to the base; sepals i by J^ in., oblanceolate-oblong, rounded at the 

 apex, fleshy. Anthers 3, about ^ in. long, including the produced 

 pointed connective, which is about ^^^ i^- ^*^^^g- Female flowers few, 

 sessile, in small clusters usually of a deeper yellow than the male. Calyx 

 glabrous, ^ in. long, cup-shaped, with 4—6 irregular short lobes or teeth. 

 Ovary glabrous ; style subglobose, 3-4-notched at the apex, broader than 

 the ovary. Capsules | in. in diam., nearly sessile, turnip-shaped, 6-8- 

 lobed, mvich depressed in the centre, crowned by the subglobose style in 

 the sunk top. Seeds red, 2 in each cell, |- in. loug, rounded on the 

 back, quite smooth. Fl. B. I. v. 5, p. 314;' Talb. Trees, Bomb. ed. 2,
