 DERBUNDS, SiLHET, and CmTTAQONG, Roxburgh, &c. 



Very near indeed to C. Ehecdii, and I expect only a glabrous variety ; the fruit 

 and flowers are the same. I find traces of pubescence in the shoots of Bengal speci- 

 mens. 



13. C. macrocarpum, Thw. Enum. 152 ; spiuescent, pubescent, leaves 

 ovate or elliptic-lanceolate acuminate, cymes shortly peduncled, flowers 5- 

 merous pedicelled, fruit large subglobose, putamen very thick and bony undulate 

 externally rugose internally.

 spines.

A subscandent shrub ; branches slender, rough, youngest scaberulous ; spines small, 

 straight. Leaves f-1? in., green when dry, coriaceous ; petiole T ^ in. ; stipules minute. 

 Pedicels ^ in. ; flowers quite glabrous. Calyx-lobes short, acute. Corolla ^ in. diam., 

 . tube shorter than the acuminate lobes. Stigma obconic with a truncate base, entire.
