A tree. Leaves 6-12 by 3-4 in., glabrous or more or less downy beneath ; petiole 

 l^-2in., pilose or glabrescent, thickened at the apex. Racemes erect, more than twice 

 the length of the petiole. Pedicels recurved, ultimately erect. Flower-buds lanceolate. 

 Flower 1 in. diam. Sepals lanceolate, rusty-pubescent. Petals oblong-cuneate, deeply 

 laciniate, sometimes bifid, silky on the outside. Stamens very numerous (70), filaments 

 hairy or glabrous. Ovary 2-celled, cells 8-ovuled. Drupe l|-2 in., oval, smooth; 

 stone 1-2-celled, coarsely tubercled furrowed. To this species may possibly be re- 

 ferred E. grandifolius, Kurz, Journ. As. Soc. Beng. 1872, pt. ii. p. 294, of which leaves 

 only exist in the Kew Herbarium. The leaves are larger than ordinary. The nuts 

 of E. tuberculatus are worn by the Hindoos as a religious ornament. 



22. E. aristatus, Roxb. Hort. Beng. 52 ; FL Ind. ii. 599 ; leaves 

 glabrous cuneate-obovate, stamens 40-50, anther-tails erect. Monocera 

 Roxburghii, Wight Ic. i. 63. Elaeocarpus rugosus, Wall. Cat. 2659 A, 

 partly, not of Roxb. 



BHOTAN, Booth; SILHET, Wallich; ASSAM, Jenkins ; CONCAN, Stocks. 



A tree. Leaves 6-10 by 3 in., serrate, base tapering ; petiole 1 in. Racemes 

 nearly as long as the leaves. Flower-buds, lanceolate, ribbed. /Sepals lanceolate, 

 pubescent. Petals wedge-shaped, deeply fringed. Filaments glabi'ous. Ovary villous, 

 2-celled, cells 10-12-ovuled. " Drupe the size shape and colour of a large olive ; 

 stone oblong, pointed at both ends, rugose." Roxb. 



23. E. rug-osus, Roxb. Hort. Beng. 42 ; Fl. Ind. ii. 596 ; leaves gla- 

 brescent shortly petioled or subsessile obovate-oblong serrate, peduncles 

 downy, stamens 30. anther-tails erect, drupe yellow obovoid 1-2-celled, 

 stone 2-edged tubercled. Wight Ic. t. 61. 



CHITTAGONG, Roxburgh; WESTERN PENINSULA, Coorg, Nilghiri Mts., Wight, 

 Gardner. 



A tree. Leaves 6-12 by 4 in. Racemes shoVter than the leaves, spreading. Flower* 

 1 in. diam. Flower-buds elongate, conical. Sepals linear-lanceolate. Petals cuneate, 

 silky, deeply laciniate. Ovary villous 2-celled, cells 8-ovuled. Sto ne oblong, pointed 

 at both ends. The flowers are generally smaller t^|n those of E. aristatus. 



24. E. XVXonocera, Cav. Ic. t. 501 ; leaves glabrous cuneate-obovate 

 serrulate serratures apiculate, stamens 40450, anther-tails erect very long.

A tree. Leaves 3-5 by 1^-2 in., obtuse, acute or acuminate, often glandular 

 beneath; petiole 1-14 in. Racemes shorter than the leaves, 3-7-flowered. Flower-buds 

 ovoid, acute. /Sepals lanceolate. Petals cuneate, lobed, pilose. Disk 10-lobed. Ovary 

 pubescent, 2-celled. Drupe 1^ in., ovoid ; stone tubercled, 1-celled. Beddome's 

 E. venustus, Fl. Sylvat. t. 174, so closely resembles E. Monocera, that it may perhaps 

 be considered as a variety of that species. It differs, however, especially in the ovate 

 leaves having shorter petioles, glabrous sepals, and very short anther-tails. 



25. E. punctatus, Wall. Cat. 2676 ; leaves small glabrous above 

 densely felted beneath oval acute entire, anther-tails long erect, drupe ovoid.
