 Fruit (immature) pisiform, tipped by the persistent style. 



B. Sepals 4. Petals 4 (rarely 3, or in C. Wightianum, or 8 in C. cordato- 

 oblongam, cuneifolium and Walkeri}. 



* Racemes shorter than the, leaves, except C. polyanthum.

WESTERN PENINSULA ; from Concan and Orissa southwards ; CEYLON ; EASTERN 

 PENINSULA, from Pegu southwards; ANDAMAN ISLANDS. DISTRIB. E. African Islands, 

 Malay Archipelago, Australia, Polynesia. Cultivated throughout India. 



A middling-sized tree : bark grey, smooth. Leaves 4-8 by 3-4 in., coriaceous, shin- 

 ing on both surfaces ; veins many, fine ; petiole ^-1 j in. Racemes in the upper axils, 

 loose, 4-6 in. long, shorter than the leaves, lax, few-flowered. Flowers f in. diam., 

 pure white, fragrant ; pedicels slender, 1-2 in. Sepals 4. Petals 4, like the inner 

 sepals. Stamens numerous, filaments in 4 bundles. Ovary globose, stipitate ; style 

 much exceeding the stamens, stigma peltate lobed. Fruit 1 in. diam., globose, smooth, 

 yellow, pulpy. Rumph and Blume say that the petals are sometimes 6-8. Wood 

 coarse-grained but valuable. Seeds afford lamp oil. 



9. C. Wallichianum, Planch. & Trian. Mem. Guttif. 249 ; young parts 

 tomentose, leaves long-petioled narrow-oblong acute or obtuse, racemes 

 pubescent on the rachis or throughout, sepals subequal. C. tetrapetalum, 

 Wall. Cat. 4843, not of Roxburgh. 



EASTERN PENINSULA ; from Penang to Sincapore, Wallich, &c. 



Young branches sub-4-gonal, or cylindric, and buds rusty tomentose. Leaves 6 by 

 l-l|r in., acute or subacute at the base, margins flat or waved ; midrib puberulous ; veins 

 close-set, somewhat prominent on both surfaces ; petiole l-l in. Racemes axillary or 

 terminating short branches, few-flowered, half the length of the leaves, rusty pubescent; 

 peduncle and pedicels glabrous, flower f in. diam. /Sepals ovate-oblong, glabrous or 

 pubescent. Petals 4, oblong. Filaments slender Ovary ovoid, glabrous. Fruit 

 globose, size of a cherry. Griffith's Malacca, 880, may be this, but consists of a young 

 fiowerless branch only, the leaves are rusty-pubescent beneath, as are Maingay's 



10. C. Griffith!!, T. Anders. ; quite glabrous, leaves oblong or elliptic- 

 oblong acute or obtuse, veins stout with a strong intramarginal one, racemes 

 glabrous, sepals subequal. 



EASTERN PENINSULA ; Malacca, Griffith. 



A glabrous tree ; young shoots 4-gonal, older cylindric. Leaves 4-6 by 1^-2 in., tip 

 often rounded, base acute, coarsely veined on both surfaces ; petiole ^ in. Racemes 

 axillary, few-flowered, glabrous, muuh shorter than the leaves. Flowers | in. diam., 

 glabrous. Petals 4. 



11. C. macrocarpum, Rook. f. ; quite glabrous, leaves linear-oblong 

 or elliptic-lanceolate obtusely acuminate narrowed into a slender petiole, 

 racemes not half the length of the leaves, pedicels 1-1| in., flowers 1 in. diam., 

 petals narrow much longer than the sepals. 



EASTERN PENINSULA; Malacca, Maingay (C. Griffithii, Kew distrib. 174). 



Branches robust ; branchlets sharply 4-angled. Leaves 3-5 by 1^-2 in., very coria- 

 ceous, shining above, hardly so beneath ; nerves very strong ; petiole 1-1$ in. Racemes 

 axillary, 2-4 in. long, 6-10-flowered ; rather minutely puberulous. Sepals 4, 2 outer 

 broadly oblong, obtuse, very concave ; 2 inner twice as long, petaloid, oblong, obtuse.
