young state, in which I think that the styles are either undeveloped or arrested in 

 development, whence Mueller's reference of it to a section with depressed or deplanate 

 styles. 



45. G-. Heyneanum, Wight Ic. v. ii. 29 and 1. 1908 (right-hand figure) 

 branehlets slender tomentose, leaves 2-5 in. thin elliptic or oblong obtuse 

 acute or cuspidate sparsely pubescent beneath, male fl. small shortly 

 pedicelled, anthers 3, fern, longer pedicelled clustered, sepals narrow sub- 

 acute, style slender exserted clavate truncate pubescent narrower than the 

 pubescent 4-5-cellei ovary, capsules pedicelled depressed 8-12-lobed 4-5- 

 celled glabrous or puberulous, style very short. Beddome Forester's Man.

LOWER BENGAL, from the foot of the SIKKIM and BHOTAN HIMALAYA southwards 

 to the CIKCAUS. 



A tree, 30-40 ft. Leaves almost membranous, brown when dry, base acute, above 

 glabrous except the midrib ; nerves slender, tomentose beneath, nervules distinct ; 

 petiole T \y in., tomentose; stipules triangular. Male pedicels ^-3 in., and linear- 

 oblong sepals hoary -pubescent. Fern, pedicels slender, as long as the flower or 

 longer ; style when fully developed twice the length of the perianth, base hardly 

 contracted. Capsules ^ in. diain., at length glabrous. Very near to states of 

 G. velutinum, but more slender, with less tomentos-e leaves, much more slender styles, 

 and smaller flowers and seeds. The leaves of both seem to be caducous in 

 drying. 



46. G-. acuminatum, Muell. Arg. in Linncea xxxii. 68 ; branches long 

 slender and leaves beneath hoary-pubescent, leaves 4-6 in. lanceolate 

 acuminate glaucous beneath, flowers all pedicelled, fern, densely fascicled, 

 sepals very unequal, anthers 3, style clavate truncate 4-6-lobed puberulous 

 twice as long as the sepals, capsule very small long-pedicelled depressed 

 deeply 4r-6-lobed hoary, style minute in the deeply sunk top. Briedelia acu- 

 minata, Wall. Cat. 785. Phyllanthus bicolor, Muell. Arg. in DC. Prodr.

NEPAL, Wallich ; Sikkim, alt. 5-7000 ft., J. Z>. H., Ac. KHASIA MTS., alt. 

 4-6000 ft., Griffith, &c. 



An evergreen tree ; branehlets often 2 ft. long, drooping, tips tomentose. 

 Leaves glabrous above except the midrib and greenish when dry, grey-white beneath 

 with strong slanting nerves, nervules few faint ; petiole very short, pubescent ; 

 stipules triangular-ovate, acuminate. Male fl. small, nearly glabrous; sepals 

 obovate ; connectives umbonate. Capsules % j in. diam., lobes subglobose. A very 

 well marked species. 



47. G-. superbum, Baill. Etudes Gen. Euphorl. 638 ; branehlets very 

 stout and leaves beneath and inflorescence densely tomentose, leaves 

 3-10 in. thickly coriaceous orbicular elliptic or ovate-oblong tip rounded or 

 cuspidate and obtuse base broadly rounded or cordate, nerves very strong, 

 flowers small very densely clustered on stout peduncles, male on long 

 capillary pedicels, sepals linear-oblong, anthers 3, fem. sessile or shortly 

 pedicelled, sepals oblong hispid, ovary 3-celled and style together forming 

 a short hispid cone 3-cleft at the top about twice as long as the sepals, 

 capsules pedicelled very small obtusely 3-lobed pubescent. Muell. Arq. in 

 Linntea xxxii. 64. Phyllanthus superbus, Muell. Arg. in Flora xlviii. (1865)
