Holigama.'] XLVI. ANACARDIACEJ}. (J. D. Hooker.) 37 



A tree, branches stout. Leaves 6-9 by 2-3 in., coriaceous, shining above, reticu- 

 lated and glaucous or not beneath ; nerves 16-20 pairs, strong, nearly straight, pro- 

 minent on both surfaces ; petiole -1 in., rather slender ; petiolar spurs early deci- 

 duous. Panicles of compound racemes, axillary and terminal, shorter or longer than 

 the leaves, thickly rufous-tomentose when dry. Flowers crowded, minute, <J in. 

 diam., enveloped in tomentum. Drupe 1 in., obliquely oblong, rounded at the top, quite 

 glabrous, long pedicelled. "Wight's originally distributed specimens (No. 526) have 

 leaves pubescent beneath. 



2. ZZ. ferrug'inea, Marchand Rev. Anarcard. 1*71 ; leaves cuneate-obovate 

 rounded at the tip quite glabrous decurrent on the petiole, petiole with two 

 tubercles at the top, racemes robust clothed with dark rusty tomentum. 

 Terebinthacea, Wall. Cat. 8503. 



WESTEEN PENINSULA : Coorg, Herb. Stocks ; TEAVANCOK, Herb. Wall. ; banga- 

 lore, Wight. 



Very similar to H. Arnottiana, but the racemes are short and very robust, less 

 branched and clothed with a deeper red (when dry) tomentum, and the flowers are 

 much larger, being fully ^-^ in. diam. Stamens longer than the petals. Styles 3-4 in., 

 elongate. The terminal bud of this species seems more glabrous than in the H. 

 Arnottiana. 



3. H. long-ifolia, Rovl. Cor. PL iii. 79, t. 282; Fl. Ind. ii. 80; leaves 

 1-2 ft. very narrowly cuneate-oblanceolate acuminate membranous glabrous and 

 glaucous beneath, petiole very short and thick, petiolar spurs 2 or 4 persistent 

 or deciduous, panicle finely pubescent. DC. Prodr. ii. 63. 



CHITTAGONG, Roxburgh, &c. ; PEGU, Kurz. 



A tall tree ; bark white. Leaves thinly coriaceous, hardly shining above, ciliate 

 when quite young, ending in a long acuminate point, gradually narrowed from above 

 the middle to the base which is hardly decurrent on the petiole ; nerves 20-25 pairs, 

 erecto-patent, slender, reticulations large ; petiole 55- in. Panicle very large and 

 spreading, $ tomentose. Flowers ^ in. diam., clustered. Fruiting panicle 1 8 in. long, 

 with spreading decurved branches. Drupes (immature) oblong. Specimens from 

 Kurz. 



4. XX. Helferi, Hook. f. ; leaves 8-16 in. cuneate-oblanceolate acute or 

 acuminate glaucous beneath rather coriaceous, decurrent on the very short pe- 

 tiole, spurs two on each side slender persistent, $ panicle much branched softly 

 densely tomentose, ^ simple racemose. 



TENASSEBIM ; at Mergui, Heifer. 



Branchlets stout, as thick as the finger. Leaves very A-ariable in size, the smaller 

 7 by 2 in., with 10-12 pairs of nerves ; the large 16 by 4 in., with 26 pairs of nerves ; 

 upper surface opaque, under purplish-brown when dry ; midrib very prominent, 

 grooved, nerves slightly arched, slender ; transverse venules reticulated. Panicles $ 

 rather slender, clothed with soft lax ferruginous tomentum. Flowers ~ in. diam., in 

 small glomerules ; 9 in stout simple racemes, pedicelled, very much larger than 

 the $ . Drupe subcylindric, truncate, f in. This may prove to be a form of H. 

 longifolia, but I do not think so. 



* Leaves pubescent beneath. 



5. H. G-rahamii, Hook. f. (not of Kurz) ; leaves 12-16 in. oblanceolate- 

 cuneate triangular above the middle and acuminate finely pubescent beneath, 

 petiole very short and thick, petiolar spurs 2 or 4 persistent. Seniecarpus Gra- 

 hamii, Wt. Ic. t. 235 ; III. i. 185; Dalz. $ Gibs. Bomb. Fl. 52. 



WESTERN PENINSTILA ; Ooncan, Graham, &c. 



A tree 20-30 ft. ; branchlets very robust. Leaves 4-6 in. diam., gradually nar 

 rowed from above the middle to the base, hardly decurrent on the petiole, very rigidly
