WESTERN HIMALAYA; Kumaon, Edgeworth. BENGAL ; at Dacca, Clarke. Foot 

 hills and low valleys of the HIMALAYA from Sikkim eastwards to UPPER ASSAM, 

 CACHAR and CHITTAGONG. Jenkins, Griffith (Kew Distrib. 4848, 4871, 4873, 4882),

An umbrageous small tree, youngest shoots glabrous. Leaves rather coriaceous, 

 always discoloured, smooth above, nerves and cross-nervules raised beneath ; petiole 

 -jL in., stout ; stipules subulate from a triangular-lanceolate base. Malefl. in. diam., 

 clustered ; pedicels capillary, |-f in. ; sepals somewhat dilated upwards ; connectives 

 large, acute. Fem.fl. minute, very many in a cluster; pedicels very short and sepals 

 and ovary glabrous 6r puberulous. Capsules often forming clusters along all the 

 axils of the branchlets, sessile or on short slender pedicels, | in. diam., quite smooth 

 and usually glabrous, obtusely 4- rarely 3- or 5-angled and celled ; pericarp thin, 

 crustaceous. Seeds hemispheric, red. A common N.E. Indian species, easily re- 

 cognized amongst the glabrous ones by the small usually obscurely 4-lobed thin 

 walled capsules with a minute style in their hardly depressed top. Leaves rarely 

 7 by 4 in. in Daccan specimens. Specimens of Andersonii from the Calcutta Her- 

 barium are identical with assamicum. Mueller describes the anthers as 3-5, but I 

 find only 3.

 4 6-celled pubescent soon glabrous, style exserted stout slightly clavate tip 

 with 4-6 rounded lobes, capsules subsessile depressed 8-10-lobed, style stout 

 clavate lobed deciduous. Beddome Forester's Man. 195. Phyllanthus

A deciduous sinnll tree or shrub (Kurz). Leaves brown on both surfaces when 

 dry, or green above, smooth ; nerves very slender, raised ; petiole -^ in. ; stipules 

 ovate, acute. Ff-m. sepals quite glabrous without, a little pubescent within ; inner 

 smaller, subspathulate. Style glabrous or tomentose below. Capsules |-f in. diam., 

 reddish brown, lobes smooth ; pericarp very thin. Mueller gives the Nilghiri Moun- 

 tains as a locality for this, but I have seen no specimens. 



39. Cr. rig'idum, Muell. Arg. in Linncea xxxii. 67 ; quite glabrous, 

 leaves 3-4 in. coriaceous elliptic-oblong or lanceolate base acute, male fl. 

 small, sepals glabrous, anthers 3, fern, all pedicelled few iu a cluster, sepals 

 oblong pubescent within below the middle, style a little longer than the 

 sepals shortly columnar or fusiform 3-4-cleft constricted above the globose 

 glabrous 3-4-celled ovary, capsule depressed-globose smooth 6-8-lobed- 

 crowned bv the short stout exs^rted style. G. Jussieuianum, Thtnaites
