310 cxxxv. EUPHORBIACE^. (J. D. Hooker.) [Glochidion. 



G. TOMENTOSUM PEOPER ; a shrub-3-4 ft., leaves 3-4 in. elliptic -oblong base 

 rounded or acute, sepals of fem. fl. |~ ^ in. rather narrowly oblong, ovary and style 

 sparingly pubescent, capsule unknown. Canara, Dalzell. 



Var. G. TALBOTI ; a small tree, branches much more robust, leaves more 

 coriaceous and more pubescent beneath 5-7 in. elliptic-ovate or -oblong base rounded 

 or cordate, fem. fl. larger, sepals broader, ovary and style densely tomeutose, capsule 

 in. diam. (&c. as in specific character). North Canara, Stocks ; Yellapore, Talbot. 



8. G-. desmog-yne, Hook. f. ; branchlets leaves beneath and inflo- 

 rescence tomentose, leaves 3-5 in. oblong or oblong-lanceolate acuminate, 

 nerves very slender, male fl. very small shortly pedicelled, sepals elliptic, 

 anthers 4-5, fem. sessile in dense globose tomentose clusters, style exserted 

 obconico-clavate 6-toothed villous twice as long as the lanceolate acute 

 sepals base narrower than the globose villous 6-celled ovary. 



TENASSEKIM, Heifer (Keiv Distrib. 4867 and 4878) ? on Moolyet, at 6000 ft., 

 Gallatly (in Herb. Hort. Calcut.}. 



Branchlets rather stout. Leaves firm, hardly coriaceous, brown when dry, base 

 acute, pubescence rather fulvous; nerves 8-10 pair, raised beneath, cross-uervules, 

 slender ; petiole -J in. ; stipules subulate. Male pedicel % in., perianth T \j in. diam., 

 sparsely tomentose, connectives very short. Fem fl. with style % in. long. (Capsules, 

 in the Moolyet specimens, rather deeply 6-lobed, in. diam., hoary, style in the deeply 

 sunk top minute. Seeds with hemispheric backs and small flat sides). This in 

 foliage, &c , closely resembles G. Wallichianum , but the fem. fl. are very different. 



9. Cr. Gramblei, Hook. f. ; quite glabrous except the ovary, leaves 

 4-6 in. lanceolate acuminate base acute, male fl. clustered, anthers 4-5, fem. 

 sessile in dense clusters, sepals oblong inner much smaller, style twice as long 

 as the sepals stout clavate truncate top 4-5-lobed glabrous suddenly con- 

 tracted above the depressed tomentose ovary, capsule large sessile depressed 

 4-5-lobed glabrous, style very short sunk in the depressed vertex. Phyl- 

 lanthus Jussieuianus in part, Muell. Arg. in DC. Prodr. xv. ii. 304 (the 

 SiJckim plant). 



Lower hills and Terai of the SIKKIM HIMALAYA, J. D. H., Gamble. 



Branches rather slender, terete, branchlets angled. Leaves 4-5 in., chartaceous, 

 greenish and rather shining above, brownish beneath, base unequal -sided acute; 

 nerves very slender indeed, nervules inconspicuous ; petiole very short. Male fl. -^ in. 

 diam.; sepals oblong, obtuse; connectives short, acute. Fem. fl. sepals obtuse or 

 subacute, erect; inner smaller; style at first globose, soon lengthening. Capsule 

 |-| in. diam., pericarp very thin ; style globose or oblong, not exserted, 4-5-lobed. 

 Seeds obtusely trigonous. 



10. Cr. insulare, Hook. f. ; branchlets very slender tomentose, leaves 

 2-3 in. thin elliptic-lanceolate acuminate glabrous except the midrib beneath 

 glaucous beneath, nerves very slender, male fl. pedicelled, sepals linear-oblong 

 nearly glabrous, anthers 4-6, fem. minute shortly pedicelled, sepals very 

 short tomentose on both surfaces, style exserted short columnar 3-fid gla- 

 brous narrower than the globose villous 3-celled ovary. Bridelia glauca, 

 JBlume ? Wall. Cat. 7875. ' 



PENAN&, Wallich. 



Branchlets long, pubescence rufous. Leaves dark brown above when dry, base 

 acute or rounded, nerves 6-8 pair, cross-nervules faint; petiole -j^-i in., slender; 

 stipules subulate. Male pedicels capillary, ^-^ in. ; perianth - in. diam. ; outer 

 sepals sparsely pubescent, inner smaller glabrous ; connectives obtuse. Fem.fl. much 

 smaller, in very sm;ill tomentose clusters. Capsules not seen. A very distinct species, 

 not taken up by Mm Her. ^
