4 spathulate branches. Stamens 5, glabrous ; anthers large, oblong. A very distinct 

 species ; but possibly not an indigenous plant of Ceylon. 



9. C. Griffith!!, Clarke ; leaves alternate lanceolate and ovate-lanceolate 

 glabrous feather-nerved, male corymbs large terminal lax nearly glabrous. 



MALACCA; Griffith. 



Branchkts terete, glabrous, curved ; innovations fulvous-tomentose. Leaves 3 

 by If in., or the uppermost narrow-lanceolate, acuminate to an obtuse apex, cuneate 

 at the base, subentire, texture thin, secondary nerves finely reticulate ; petiole ^ in. 

 Calyx at flower-time \ in., funnel-shaped, nearly glabrous. Corolla-lobes 5, | in., 

 elliptic. Appears closely allied to C. oblongifolia. A male plant collected at 

 Malacca by Maingay (Kew Distrib. n. 1162) is perhaps the same, but has the primary 

 nerves of the leaves more numerous.

10. C. fragrantissima, Kurz For. Fl. ii. 207 ; leaves alternate large 

 ovate 3-nerved mature scabrous above grey-tomentose beneath, corymbs 

 large terminal soon glabrescent, berry in. ellipsoid obtuse. C. rotundifolia,

This closely resembles C. grandis, Wall, in its area of distribution, inflorescence, 

 4-merous flowers, and berries : differing only in the adult leaves being densely- 

 stellately villous beneath. Kurz says " ovary with a sessile stigma," whence, it is 

 presumed, he had only male flowers. 



11. C. vestita, H. f. 8f T. in Journ. Linn. Soc. ii. 128 ; innovations

 acute. Brand. For. FL 338. C. incana, Royle 111 p. 306, name only. Gynaion

SUBTROPICAL WESTERN HIMALAYA, alt. 1-4000 ft. ; frequent from the Jhelum 

 to Oude, Edgeii'orth, &c. 



A tree, attaining 30 feet. Leaves 4 in., sometimes ovate from a rounded base, 

 'sometimes cuneate-oblong from a narrow base, entire crenate or lobed, densely 

 tomentose beneath at least till nearly mature, at length scabrous above often with 

 white dots ; petiole 1 in. Corymbs dense, tomentose, and woolly. Calyx 5 in., 

 tubular-clavate, prominently ribbed upwards, or, in other examples, much smaller, 

 scarcely clavate, hardly ribbed. Corolla-lobes % in., obovate, or smaller elliptic. Calyx 

 in fruit f-1 in. diam., saucer-shaped ; or, in Aitcheson's Punjab examples, f by in., 

 elongate campanulate, strongly ribbed. 



12. C. IKacleodi!, H.f. $ T. in. Journ. Linn. Soc. ii. 128 ; very softly 

 densely tomentose, leaves cordate-ovate obtuse 3-5-nerved permanently tomen- 

 tose beneath, corymbs short tomentose, berry f in. ovoid acute. Brand. For.

 obscurely) ribbed. Corolla-lobes % in., oblong, or much shorter. Fruit acutely
