314 cxxxv. EUPHORBIACE^S. (J. D. Hooker.) [Glochiditn. 



small depressed obscurely 4-5- lobed, style short conical. Wall. Cat. 7878 in 

 part, and 7877 in part (in Herbs. Benth. Sf Hook.}. 



MALACCA, Griffith (Kew Distrib. 4845). 



Leaves 2-3 iu., broad, rigid and pale t.bove when dry, grey-brown beneath, 

 glabrous above with pubescent midrib ; nerves 8-12 pair, spreading, much raised 

 beneath, cross-nervules jather distant; petiole very short and stout; stipules obi or g, 

 hard. Male fl. | in. diaui., pedicel - in., connectives acute. Fern. fl. on stouter 

 pedicels, ^ in. long including the style, very hispid as are the pedicels; calyx-teeth 

 very short. Capsule - in. diam., nearly terete. The specimens are not very good, 

 and I find none in Wallich's Herbarium in the Linnaean Society's Rooms : I have eeen 

 too few fern. fl. to be confident as to their description. None of the other species are 

 at all like it. The flowers are sometimes inserted on a very short peduncle. Near 

 Gr. zeylanicum in many respects, but the stipules differ and the capsule is much 

 intruded at the base and apex. 



20. G-. Hohenackeri, Beddome Forester's Man. 193; everywhere 

 glabrous, leaves 2-4 in. thin elliptic- or ovate-lanceolate acutely or obtusely 

 acuminate base acute, male fl. long-pedicelled, anthers 3, fern, sessile in 

 capitate clusters, fern, calyx unequally 4-6-toothed, style broadly tumidly 

 conical, concealing the glabrous 8-lobed ovary, capsule subsessile much 

 depressed 6-8-lobed with a large globose smooth minutely 3-4-toothed style 

 in the sunk top. Phyllanthus Hohenackeri, Muell. Arg. in Flora xlviii. 373, 

 and in DC. Prodr. xv. ii. 288. Bradleia lanceolaria, Wall. Cat. 7855 C. 



The CONCAN and CANABA; on the Bababoodan Hills and in woods at Mercara, 

 &c., Heyne, &c. The CONCAN, very common, Gibson (Herb. Ind. Or., Hf. Sc T , 

 Nos. 33 & 41). 



A tree, 12 ft. high ; branches slender. Leaves usually dark brown when dry ; 

 nerves very slender, usually not raised, cross-nervules faint ; petiole TQ | in. ; 

 stipules broadly triangular. Male fl. ^ in. diam. ; sepals linear-oblong; connec- 

 tives balf the length of the anther-cells, acute. Fern. fl. minute ; calyx cup- 

 sbaped, lobes or teeth if few broad, rounded or subacute. Capsule |-J in. diam., 

 quite smooth, black, rather thinly crustaceous, style with rather raised margins, 

 about the diameter of the capsule. Near G. fagifolium, but the calyx differs. 



21. Cr. Ralph!!, HooJc. f. ; quite glabrous, branches slender, leaves 

 2-3 in. elliptic-lanceolate acuminate base acnte, male fl. on slender pedicels, 

 sepals linear-oblong, anthers 3, fem. fl. few minute sessile, calyx cupular 

 unequally obtusely toothed glabrous, style subglobose or obovoid 4-5- 

 lobed at the top broader than the very short villous 3-6- celled ovary, capsule 

 subsessile depressed smooth faintly 3-6-lobed, style slightly sunk globose or 

 shortly clavate. 



The CONCAN ; Mahableshwar Hills, Ralph. N. CANARA, near the Falls of Gair 

 soppa, Talbot. TINNEVELLY, Beddome. 



Branches and leaves pale brown when dry. Leaves not shining, thinly coriaceous, 

 base usually unequal-sided and narrowed into the rather long (for the genus) petiole ; 

 nerves 8-12 pair, very slender, nervules indistinct; petioles-Jin.; stipules trian- 

 gular. Malefl. Jin. diam.; connectives obtuse. Fem.fl. very inconspicuous; style 

 very much larger than the ovary. Capsules % in. diam., crustacepus, crown very 

 sligbtly sunk. Seeds hemispheric, red. I assume the fruiting specimens collected by 

 Mr. Talbot to be couspecific with Ralphii, which bear only male and fem. flowers. 

 The plant much resembles in foliage and colour var. Wightiana of Cr. ellipticum, but 

 the fem. calyx and ovary are altogether different. 



22. Gr. Johnstonei, Hook. f. ; branchlets tomentose, leaves 4-5 in. 

 thin oblong or linear-oblong obtuse or obtusely acuminate glabrous or 

 sparsely pubescent beneath, male fl. pedicelled, sepals nearly glabrous,
