Elaocarpus.] xxvm. TILIACE^:. (Maxwell T. Masters.) 403 



Ovary 3-celled. Drupe 2 by 1 in., tubercled. Differs from E. robustvs in the narrow 

 pointed flower-buds. It is open to doubt whether the fruit placed with it in the Kew 

 Herb, belongs to this species. 



** Anthers usually beardless. 



11. E. leptostachya, Wall. Cat. 2672 ; leaves glabrous lanceolate 

 serrulate, peduncles erect, pedicels pilose, flower-buds rounded, anthers 

 beardless. C. Mull. Anot. defam. Elceocarp. 23. 



TENASSERIM, Heifer ; PENANG, Wallich. 



A tree. Leaves 6-8 by 2-3 in., serrulate, base rounded; petiole 2-2| in., thickened 

 at the apex. Peduncles half the length of the leaves. Flowers in. diam. Sepals 

 pubescent. Petals cuneate, ciliate, tip laciniate. Ovary villous, 3-celled. Very like 

 E. robustus, but the anthers are not bearded. 



12. E. lucidus, Roxb. Hort. Beng. 42; Fl. Ind. ii. 600; leaves glabrous 

 lanceolate serrate, racemes as long as the leaves, flower-buds ovoid-conical, 

 anthers beardless. 



CHITTAGONG; Roxburgh, Griffith. 



A tree. Leaves 5 by 2 in., acute, serratures spiny, base rounded; petiole 1 in. 

 Raceme erect, many-flowered, scarcely so long as the leaves. Flowers f in. diam. 

 Sepals lanceolate. Petals laciniate halfway down. Anthers puberulous. Disk villous. 

 Fruit not seen. Differs from E. robustus in the beardless anthers as well as in the 

 pointed buds and smaller flowers. 



13. E. oblongus, Gcertn. ; W. & A. Prodr. 82 ; leaves glabrous 

 elliptic acute or acuminate serrate, stamens 30-40, anther-valves beardless 

 or bearded, drupe oblong, stone 1 -celled 1 -seeded. Smith in Rees Cyd. ;

TENASSERIM, at Moulmein, Lobb; WESTERN PENINSULA, from the Concan to Tra- 

 vancor. DISTRIB. Moluccas, Borneo. 



A tree. Leaves 3-4 by lf-2 in., base wedge-shaped; petiole |-1 in., glandular at 

 the apex. Racemes from the axils of the fallen leaves. Flower-buds ovoid-conical. 

 Petals ciliolate. Drupe 1 in. Wight and Arnott make two vars. of this species one 

 var., a, with acute leaves and stout pedicels, the other var. /3, with marked acuminate 

 leaves and slender pedicels; the former has also larger flowers and more lanceolate sepals, 

 the latter has smaller flowers and ovate acute sepals ; but the two forms seem to merge 

 one into the other. r lhe saccate glands seen on the under surface of the leaves in 

 this and other species are possibly the result of insect agency. 



14. E. polystachyus, Wall. Cat. 2671 ; leaves elliptic-oblong serrulate 

 pubescent beneath, flower-buds subglobose, petals almost entire at the 

 apex, stamens 40-50, anthers beardless, drupe 1 -celled. C. Mull. Anot. de 

 fam. El(eocarji. 20, f. 13. 



SINGAPORE, Wallich; MALACCA, Maingay. 



A tree ; shoots, petioles, peduncles, pedicels and sepals pubescent. Leaves 4-8 by 

 3-4 in., base rounded; petiole 2^ in., thickened at the apex. Peduncles scarcely 

 exceeding the petioles, pedicels resupinate. Flowers ^ in. diam. Petals oblong. 

 Stamens numerous. Glands of disk obsolete. Ovary 2-celled. Drupe f in., glabrous, 

 crustaceous. 



15. E. glabrescens, Mast. ; leaves at first covered with ferruginous 

 down afterwards glabrescent lanceolate-acuminate, stamens 15-20, anthers 

 beardless, drupe globose 1-celled.
