 panicles axillary. Floivers small, subglobose, polygamous. Calyx superior ; 

 lobes 5, rounded, imbricate. Petals 5, erect, orbicular, imbricate. Disk broad, 

 annular. Stamens 5, inserted at the base of the disk. Ovary inferior, 1-celled ; 

 style 1, very short ; stigma capitate ; ovule attached to the wall of the cell. 

 Drupe transversely obliquely ovoid, fibrous, flesh resinous ; stone coriaceous. 

 Seed attached to the wall of the cell, testa membranous ; embryo thick, coty- 

 ledons plano-convex radicle minute opposite the hiluni ; plumule hairy. 

 DISTKIB. 2 or 3 Indian species. 



1. D. racemosus, Hook.f. in Benth. fy Hook. f. Gen. PL i. 424; leaves 

 linear-oblong or lanceolate acuminate glaucous beneath, margins waved. Holi- 

 garna raceniosa, Roxb. Fl. Ind. ii. 82 ; Wall. Cat. 1000. 



SIKKIM and BHOTAN HIMALAYA, alt. 2-5000 ft. ; SILHET and KHASIA MTS., alt. 

 0-4000 ft. 



A large tree; branchlets glabrous. Leaves 4-12 in., coriaceous, shining above-, 

 opaque and grey beneath ; nerves 20-30 pairs, strongly arched ; reticulations delicate ; 

 midrib above rather broad ; petiole ^ in., stout. Racemes branched in axillary 

 fascicles, shorter than the leaves, pubescent or glabrate. Flowers ^ in. diam., 

 crowded, the males most so, greenish-white. Drupe red, 1 in. diam. Marchand 

 (Rev. Anacard. 172) mentions a Holigarna angustifolia Eoxb. as identical with this, 

 but I find no such name published by Roxburgh.

 furnished with 2 or 4 spur-like decidous appendages. Racemes or panicles 

 axillary and terminal. Flowers small, crowded, polygamous. Calyx superior ; 

 tube ciip-shaped ; teeth 5, imbricate. Petals 5, densely villous in front, cohering 

 with the edge of the disk and at the base, persistent, valvate. Disk lining the 

 calyx-tube, obscure in the $ . Stamens 5, inserted on the edge of the disk, 

 coherent at the base with the petals, filaments subulate, glabrous ; anthers 

 small, subglobose. Ovary inferior, 1-celled ; styles 3-5, terminal, stigmas 

 capitate or clavate ; ovule pendulous from near the top of the cell. Drupe sub- 

 compressed, oblong or ovoid, resinous, acrid ; stone coriaceous. Seed parietal, 

 testa membranous; embryo thick, cotyledons plano-convex; radicle minute 

 next the 1 hilum. DISTKIB. 7 species, all Indian.
