6. C. rubescens, Dalz. in Hook. Journ. Bot. iv. 108 ; leaves elliptic- 

 lanceolate entire acute or obtuse base not rounded, pedicels minutely pubescent, 

 fruit | in. and upwards ellipsoid. Dalz. <$ Gibs. Bomb. Fl. 11. 



BOMBAY GHAUTS, CONCAN and KTTKG ; Dalzell, Stocks, Ritchie, 



A shrub 4-6 ft. (Dalzell) ; branches glabrous to the final stipules. Leaves 4^ by 



2.^ in., acuminated, coriaceous often ruddy (but not more so than some examples of 



C. esvulentd) ; petiole \ in. Pedicels short, usually less than i in., jointed at the base. 



Calyx-lobes broad, minutely pubescent. This species is here distinguished from C. 



esculenta solely by the minute pubescence of the pedicels. 



7. C. macrocarpa, C. B. Clarke ; leaves narrowly lanceolate, pedicels 

 glabrous, fruit If by f in. 



PINANG; Maingay 660-2. 



Branchlets reddish, glabrous. Leaves 5 by 1 \ in., entire, acute at both ends, red- 

 dish, reticulate, shining ; petiole \ in. Pedicels few, not exceeding | in., glabrous, 

 reddish, buds glabrous. Seeds % in., obovoid, compressed. 



8. C. albicans, Wall. Cat. 7197 ; leaves oblong acute at both ends, 

 pedicels glabrous, fruit 2 by 1 in. ovoid bright yellow when ripe (Maingay). 



PINANG ; Wallich. MALACCA ; Maingay, No. 660. 



Branchlets thick, glabrous, striate. Leaves 9 by 2f in., entire, coriaceous, nerves 

 much raised beneath ; petiole f in. Pedicels clustered, \ in., buds glabrous. It is 

 possible that this species may prove a variety of the preceding, but the loaves are much 

 broader, the fruit ovoid (instead of narrowly ellipsoid) as noted by Dr. Maingay. 



* Adult leaves on the midrib beneath together icith the petiole more or less 

 pubescent. 



9. C. Vareca, Roxb. Hort. Beng. 33 ; Fl. Ind. ii. 418 ; leaves oblong 

 closely serrate softly hairy beneath, pedicels above the articulation glabrous, 

 fruit in. broadly ellipsoid yellow or pinkish yellow. Wall. Cat. 7194 ; Kurz 

 For. Fl. i. 530. 



TERAI of the Himalaya from SIKKIM eastward and of KHASIA, at 500-3000 ft. 

 elevation, plentiful. DISTRIB. Ava. 



A shrub, branchlets pubescent. Leaves 3|- by 1^ in., often somewhat cbovate, 

 obtuse suddenly narrowed but sometimes acuminate ; petiole \ in. Pedicels less 

 than \ in., usually jointed far above the base, very hairy below the articulation. Sta- 

 minal tube elongate, stamens often 10. Seeds in bright red pulp. The leaves have 

 regularly and closely placed serrations which prominently mark this species from all 

 others and appear to have completely protected it against synonyms. 



10. C. tomentosa, Roxb. Fl. Ind. ii. 421 ; leaves elliptic-oblong or lan- 

 ceolate entire or crenate not acuminate base acute or rounded, pedicels and 

 calyx hairy, fruit -f in. broad-ellipsoid. Wall Cat. 7191 ; Brand. For. Fl.
