3. 1 C. monosperma, ffoo/c.f. & T. ; branchlets and leaves quite gla- 

 brous, leaves elliptic obtuse acute or obtusely acuminate, nerves many 

 slender nearly horizontal, petals pubescent, outer broad oblong, inner oblong- 

 lanceolate, carpels small glabrous mammillate short-stalked 1 -seeded. 



MALACCA, Maingay, 



A tree ; branches slender, pale ; branchlets and buds glabrous. Leaves 3-6 by 

 14-24 in., thin, coriaceous, base subacute, concolorous, petiole in. Flowers axil'ary, 

 f in. diam., solitary, ceriiuous ; peduncle \-^ in., glabrous, curved, bract basal. Sep'ds 

 broad-ovate, very small. Petals hoary, obtuse, inner as long but much narrower than 

 the outer. Anthers truncate. Torus convex, hairy. Ovaries very many, silky ; style 0; 

 ovules several, sub-2-seriate. Carpels ^ in., very obliquely globose, or broader than 

 long ; walls thin, stout. Seed a little compressed, shining, pitted. 



8. CYATHOSTEMMA, Griffith. 



A shrub. ? Flowers subglobose in much-branched axillary pendulous cymes 

 from the old wood. Sepals 3, connate, hirsute. Petals 6, 2-seriate, short, 

 base fleshy, inner rather smaller, all valvate at the base, tips imbricate. 

 Tortis flat, margin convex. Stamens many, linear ; anthers subintrorse, pro- 

 cess of connective oblique incurved. Ovaries many ; style cylindric, gla- 

 brous, notched; ovules many, 2-seriate. Ripe carpels turgid, many- 

 seeded. 



1. C. viridiflorum, Griff. Notul. iv. 707 ; Ic. iv. t. 650; leaves obovate- 

 oblong or oblong-lanceolate acuminate or apiculate glabrous. 



EASTERN PENINSULA, Griffith; PENANO, Maingay; NORTH ANDAMAN, Kurz. 



Wood remarkable (Griffith Notul. I.e.), aromatic, pith small, wood cruciately 

 4-lobed. Leaves 4-8 by 2-3 in., base rounded or subacute, petiole - in. Flowers 

 % in. diam.; cymes brown-tomentuse ; bract submedian, oblong. Sepals broader than 

 long. Petals acute, base contracted, of inner most so, tomentose, granular. Ovaries 

 densely tomentose. Carpels 1-14 i n -> oblong, smooth, glabrous; stalk as long, stout. 

 Kurd's specimens have leaves only, but these and the wood agree with Griffith's.
