ft. ; frequent. Distrib. Ava, Malacca. Leaves mostly broad-elliptic or obovate- 

 oblong, glabrous above, never tomentose beneath; corymbs (at least of <?) very 

 dense ; corolla exactly as of C. Myxa. This is the plant united by modern authors 

 with the typical glabrous form of C. obliqua, Willd., which has a considerably larger 

 corolla. 



VAR. domcstica ; innovations fulvous-tomentose, leaves small young minutely 

 pubescent above closely grey tomentose beneath, corymbs small grey tomentose. C. 

 domestica, Roth Nov. Sp. 123. Deccan (?); Herb. Wight. Leaves -l in., repand- 

 crenate, mature nearly glabrous. Flowers as of C. Myxa. Berries (when nearly 

 ripe) rostrate-acuminate, very unlike those of C. Myxa. This may be a distinct 

 species, and possibly more nearly allied to C.fulvosa, Wight. 



2. C. obliqua, Willd. % PI. i. 1072; innovations fulvous- villous, leaves 

 ovate or orbicular sub-3-nerved young tomentose beneath adult glabrous, 

 corymbs divaricate dichotomous glabrous, calyx glabrous without or scarcely 

 villous on the margin, berry 1 in. ovoid subacute 1-seeded. DC. Prodr. ix.

A tree closely resembling C. Myxa. Calyx ~-^ in. (at flower-time) ; tube cam- 

 panulate ; lobes distinct, densely villous within. Corolla-lobes ~-^ in. 



VAR. Wallichii ; adult leaves densely stellately fulvous- or white-tomentose 

 beneath, calyx glabrescent without below, teeth densely fulvous-villous. C. Wallichii,

 obliqua, Wight Ic. tTTWr- C. grandis, Wall. Cat. 892 B. W. India from Lahore to 

 Kurg. This is C. obliqua, var. j8 of all the old collectors, who have mixed it with C. 

 obliqua type. The two are undoubtedly one ; they differ in hairs only, and inter- 

 mediately hairy examples occur. 



3. C. monoica, Roxb. Cor. PL i. 43, t. 58, and FL Ind.ed. Carey $ Wall.

DECCAN PENINSULA from Orissa and the Central Provinces southwards to CEYLON ; 

 alt. 2-5000 ft., common. 



A small tree. Leaves 1-3 in., obtuse or subacute, subentire or sharply crenate. 

 Corymbs 1-2 in. diam., dense, monoicous or polygamous ; $ usually 4-androus, $ 5- 

 androus. Calyx-tube i in, tomentose or pubescent ; teeth small, villous. Corolla- 

 lobes i in., narrow. Drupe yellow ; stone 4-celled, drilled at the apex, 3 cells barren, 

 one 1-seeded. The authentic specimens of C. polygama are identical with C. monoica; 

 Wight has called the examples with subentire leaves C. monoica, and those with 

 strongly crenate leaves C. polygama. 



4. C. ff rand is, Roxb. FL Ind. ed. Carey $ Wall. ii. 335; leaves large 

 ovate 3-5-nerved scabrous above mature glabrous or scarcely villous beneath, 

 corymbs large dense, flowers small pubescent or scarcely tomentose, berry at 

 most in. ellipsoid very obtuse. Wcdl. Cat. 892; DC. Prodr. ix. 481 ; Kurz
