Branches slender, terete, from densely ashy-tomentose to pubescent. Leaves dark 

 brown when dry, very uniform in shape ; base subequal, cuueate or obtuse ; nerves 

 6-8 pair, very slender, cross-nervules mere lines; petiole i\j-g in., slender, pubescent; 

 stipules subulate-lanceolate from a broad base. Male fl. \ in. diam., nearly glabrous, 

 outer sepals obovate-oblong, inner narrower more spathulate ; connectives short. 

 Fern. fl. in clusters, \ in. diam.; calyx-lobes variable in length; style rather de- 

 pressed-globose, not narrowed into the ovary. Capsule unknown.

 leaves 4-5 in. thin ovate or oblong acuminate glabrous above sparsrly 

 shortly hairy beneath with very strong nerves, male fl. shortly pedicelled 

 sparsely pubescent, sepals oblong, anthers 3, fern. fl. subsessile in minute 

 clusters, sepals very short acute spreading, ovary a very broad depressed 

 5-6-angled glabrous cone 10-12-celled at the very base, capsule shortly

SIKKIM HIMALAYA, alt. 5-7000 ft.; at Darjeeling, &c., J. D. H., Clarke. 



A tree, 60 ft. ; branchlets slender, pubescence pale ; tips tomentose. Leaves 

 greenish when dry, especially beneath, with 6-8 pair of arched nerves conspicuous 

 above and raised beneath, cross-nervules irregularly anastomosing ; base subequal, 

 rounded acute or subcordate ; petiole i in., slender ; stipules triangular. Male fl. ; 

 outer sepals and pedicels puberulous, inner glabrous ; connective free, short. Fem.fl. 

 very minute, pedicels short stout ; ovary so broad that the hispidulous sepals are very 

 spreading, cells in its narrowed concave base. Capsule ^ in. diam., pericarp thinly 

 crustaceous. Seeds ovoidly globose, pointed, red. A very distinct species, inhabiting 

 a higher elevation than any other of the genus.
