Terminalia.'] LVIII. COMBRETACE^E. (C. B. Clarke.) 449 



usually with two glands at its apex. Spikes dense, bracteoles and young ovaries 

 villose. Epigynous disc with very little or no hair. Fruits -/ g in. long, exceedingly 

 numerous, minutely villous, broad wings each J in. wide puberulous, the third acute 

 hardly winged. The top of the tree in flower appears pink, the middle white, from 

 the panicles changing colour. 



SECT. IV. Fruit large, l-l in., with two very broad wings. (Really allied 

 to Sect. Catappa).

 near the ends of the branches obovate narrowed into a very long petiole, spikes 

 axillary simple elongate, fruit 2-3 in. wide rusty tomentose. Pentaptera 

 bialata, Roxb. Hort. Seng. 34 ; Fl. Ind. ii. 441 ; Watt. Cat. 3986.

 brown-pubescent or tomentose. Calyx-teeth hairy within. Fruit Ij If in. long. 



VAE. cuneifolia, Wall. Cat. 3972 ; leaves lanceolate rather than obovate, fruit 

 less than 1 in. long and nearly glabrous. Prome ; Wallich. Tenasserim and Anda-

DOUBTFUL SPECIES. 



T. MOLUCCANA, Wall. Cat. 3969 consists of leaves generally resembling those of T. 

 procera, and a detached fruit which also resembles that of T. procera. But the petioles 

 have a thickening simulating an articulation, and M. Planchon has suggested (by a 

 note on the specimen) that the leaves are those of an El&ocarpus. 



T. ANGUSTIFOLIA, Eoxb. Hort. Sena. 33 and Fl. Ind. ii. 437 ; a large tree, tender 

 parts hairy, leaves narrow-lanceolate acuminate glandular on the margin at the base, 

 fruit scarcely distinguishable from that of T. Chebula, young leaves with much ferru- 

 ginous hair. T. travancorensis, W. $ A. Prodr. 314. Tinnevelly and Travancore, 

 Roxburgh. No example known and not seen by anyone except Koxburgh ; if it be 

 not a variety merely of T. Chebula. 



T. BENGALENSIS, Eoxb. in DC. Prodr. iii. 12 ; leaves alternate obovate obtuse entire 

 glabrous on both surfaces and the petioles without glands. In Bengal. This species 

 is not known by any authentic specimen and is insufficiently described : it is 

 improbable that it is distinct from all the other known species. 



2. CAI/STCOFTERIS, Lamtc. 



A diffuse shrub with drooping branches. Leaves opposite, shortly petioled, 

 elliptic or ovate, acuminate, entire. Racemes dense, axillary, and crowded 

 towards the ends of the branches so as to form large panicles. Flowers small, 

 greenish, each with a lanceolate bract. Calyx-tube 5-striate, produced above 

 the ovary ; limb 6-fid, persistent and much enlarged in fruit. Petals 0. Sta- 

 mens 10, the five upper ones between the calyx-teeth, the five others alternate 

 with them and lower down on the calyx-tube. Ovary 1-celled, inferior ; style 

 subulate, simple ; ovules 3, pendulous from the top of the cell. Fruit narrow 

 ovoid, 5-ribbed, villous, 1-seeded, surmounted by the enlarged calyx. Cotyle- 

 dons convolute.
