Also, Turczaninow's description is not correct as to the absolute glabrousness of the 

 species. The sepals and tips of the branchlets of Lobb No. 468 are minutely pubes- 

 cent ; and the examples of C. angwstata, T'eys. $ Binn. (see Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. i. pt. i. 

 710) only differ by being slightly more pubescent. Lastly, the whole does not differ 

 from C. glomerata so much as C. glomerata if cultivated at Singapore might be ex- 

 pected to vary from the Sikkini type.

A shrub, or tree 20 ft. ; branchlets glabrous to the final stipules. Leaves (in the 

 type) 4 by 2f in., broadly elliptic, little acuminate, rounded at the base ; petiole ^in. ; 

 but the leaves are often narrower, almost lanceolate, and acute at the base. Pedicels 

 usually short, sometimes in., jointed at or above the base, aureo-pubescent below 

 the articulation glabrous above to near the base of the calyx. Calyx always pubes- 

 cent at the base, above sometimes densely aureo-pubescect sometimes glabrous. This 

 species is to be separated from C. glomerata by the pedicel glabrous above its articu- 

 lation and by its geographic locality ; from C. esculenta by its less entire less thick 

 leaves and the calyx pubescent at its base. As to the Wallichian Number quoted : 

 in the large paper type, Wall. Cat. 7195, A and one sheet of B is C. graveolens; the 

 other part of B does not belong to the genus. The Burmese plant is distributed by 

 Mr. Kurz under the name C. Hamilton!., Wall, correctly: but in Journ. As. Soc. and 

 For. FL. he has changed the name to C. Canziala, Wall, (see 10. C. tomentosa.} Now 

 Roxburgh says his C. ovata has the leaves downy beneath, whereas' Mr. Kurz says 

 (truly) that his plant has all parts glabrous: Wallich' s own Canziala is hairy.

A shrub or small tree, branches glabrous. Leaves 3-6 by 1-2 in., broad-lanceolate, 

 narrowed to both ends, entire or most obscurely crenate, thick, subcoriaceous ; petiole 

 \-% in. Pedicels short, usually less than in. in fruit, jointed at the base. Carpels 2, 

 with 2-fid stigma (Thwaites No. 2604, 2657) ; but carpels often 3 (see Beddome FL 

 Sylv. 208). C. Championii Thwaites with very entire coriaceous acuminated leaves is 

 exactly the form sent from Moulmein and Singapore.
