WESTERN PENINSULA ; on the Ghats from the Southern Concan southwards. 

 CEYLON ; ascending to 3000 ft. Common. 



A small tree, about 15 ft. high, -with milky acrid juice. Leaves 2-8 by 1-2^ in., 

 usually elliptic-oblong with a tendency to be more narrow below than above, rarely 

 narrower and 8 by l in., base decurrent on the petiole, shining above, usually white 

 beneath ; nerves 15-20 pair, not prominent beneath, arched, reticulations also not 

 sharply denned ; petiole | \ in. Racemes much shorter than the leaves, solitary and 

 fascicled, strict ; branched, much longer and more branched than the $ , more or 

 less pubescent. Flowers minute ; $ sessile or nearly so, ~ in. diam. Petals suberect 

 with recurved tips, hairy on the back. Sepals almost orbicular. Filaments almost 

 glabrous. Drupe ^ in. diam., red, top depressed. 



VAE. 1. Heyneana ; leaves smaller 2-3 in. more shortly petioled obtuse, drupe blue. 

 Terebinthacea ? Wall. Cat. 8500. 



VAR. 2. macrocarpa ; leaves 3-4 in. obovate-oblong shortly obtusely acuminate 

 very coriaceous, drupe -f in. diam., top not depressed. Shevaghery hills, Wight. 



2. N. travancorica, Beddome MSS. ; branchlets petiole and midrib 

 beneath pubescent with short spreading hairs, leaves elliptic-lanceolate acumi- 

 nate, petals hairy within. 



WESTEEN PENINSULA; Travancor, Beddome. 



Leaves 6-7 by l^ If in., almost membranous, margin thickened, green below, ciliate 

 towards the base which is acute and not decurrent on the petiole ; nerves 30-35 pairs, 

 slightly arched; petiole in. Flowers $ in supra-axillary glomerules, in. diam. 

 Petals ovate-lanceolate. Filaments hairy, broad. I have seen only imperfect 

 specimens. 



3. N. aureo-fulva, Beddome MSS. ; branchlets petiole and midrib be- 

 neath densely rufous villous, leaves opposite narrow linear. 



WESTERN PENINSULA ; Tinnevelly, Beddome. 



Leaves 7-8 by 1 in., obtuse or acute, rather membranous, shining above, much 

 reticulated beneath ; nerves about 30 pair, slender, arched ; petiole in. I have seen 

 only an imperfect specimen of this very curious species.

Trees. Leaves alternate, very coriaceous, simple, quite entire. Racemes 

 axillary, simple or sparingly branched. Flowers sessile, minute, hermaphrodite. 

 Calyx 3-5-partite ; segments erect, persistent, imbricate. Petals 3-6, suborbicular, 

 erect, imbricate. Disk urceolar. Stamens 6-10 ; inserted at the base of the 

 disk. Ovary free, sessile, ovoid, 1-celled (or 2-celled with 1 cell suppressed) ; 

 style very short, stigma discoid or capitate ; ovule 1, pendulous from the top of 

 the cell. Drupe ovoid, fleshy ; stone hard, almost 2-celled by a vertical plate 

 from the top of the horse-shoe shaped cell. Seed pendulous, curved round the
