 Borneo, Java. 



A tree, 30-40 ft. ; branchlets as thick as a swan's quill. Leaves on Singapore 

 specimens rounded, 2^-3^ by 2^-3 in., in others longer and 3-4 in. diam., dull greenish 

 brown or grey when dry and very rigid, scaberulous above with imperfect nerves, 

 beneath thickly softly tomentose with 6-12 pairs of very strong arched spreading 

 nerves and reticulate cross-nervules ; petiole very short and thick ; stipules long, 

 slender, subulate from a triangular base. Peduncles J in., stout. Male pedicels 

 -f in., very many, capillary ; perianth in. diam. ; connectives acute. Fern. fl. 

 minute. Capsules i- in., pericarp and cocci very thin. 



48. Cr. leiostylum, Kurt For. Fl. ii. 345 ; branchlets slender and 

 glabrous or hispidulous, leaves 2-3 in. thin ovate elliptic oblong or oblong- 

 lanceolate rather abruptly narrowed to an obtuse or acuminate point 

 glabrous, male fl. long pedicelled, anthers 3, fem. fl. solitary or few and 

 clustered minute sessile, sepals oblong obtuse, ovary 3-celled villous, style 

 exserted glabrous narrowly conical tip acutely 3-cleft, capsule small sessile 

 or shortly pedicelled depressed 6-lobed hoary, style very minute. Bradleia 

 coronata, Watt. Cat. 7854 (the Singapore plant).

An evergreen shrub or small tree. Leaves dark brown when dry, shining above and 

 sometimes on both surfaces, base rounded or very unequal -sided, one side acute the 

 other rounded ; petiole slender, -^g-g- in. ; stipules subulate from a triangular base. 

 Male pedicels glabrous or pubescent, |-j in. ; sepals linear-oblong ; connectives rather 

 long, acute, glabrous or hispidulous. Fem. sepals lanceolate, acute, glabrous or 

 puberulous. Capsule i in. diam., crustaceous. Seeds hemispheric. Kurz describes 

 the leaves beneath petioles and midrib as pubescent. This is not so in a specimen 

 named by himself, in which the leaves are very like those of G. Icevigatum. 



49. Gr. khasicum, HooJc.f. ; everywhere quite glabrous, leaves 3-4 in- 

 rigid elliptic acuminate, male fl. few, sepals lanceolate obtuse, anthers 3, 

 fem. few clustered subsessile, sepals ovate-oblong subacute very unequal, 

 style 2-3 times as long as the sepals subcylindric 3-grooved acutely 

 unequally 2-3-toothed gradually dilated into the glabrous ovary, capsule 

 very shortly pedicelled depressed 3-6-lobed quite glabrons, style as long 

 stout deciduous. Phyllanthus khasicus, Muell. Arg. in DC. Prodr. xv. ii.

SIKKIM HIMALAYA, alt. 4000 ft., J. D. H., &c. KHASIA HILLS, Griffith (Keiv 

 Distrib. 4357, 4851), &c. 



An umbrageous dark green tree, 50 ft., branches woody, branchlets angled. Leaven 

 when dry pale above, grey brown beneath, base acute and decurrent on the short stout 

 petiole ; nerves 5-6 pair, slender, arched ; stipules triangular-ovate. Malefi. shortly 

 pedicelled ; connectives umbonate. Fem. sepals erect, coriaceous. Capsule J in. diam., 

 lobes rounded. Seeds hemispheric. The style is hardly ever clavate. 



50. r, nemorale, Thwaites Enum. 286 ; usually quite glabrous or 

 nearly so, leaves 4-7 in. very coriaceous lanceolate or oblong-lanceolate 

 acuminate base acute or rounded, nerves 3-4 pairs very obliquely ascending, 

 male fl. shortly pedicelled, anthers 3, connectives very long, fem. fl. 

 densely clustered subsessile or pedicelled glabrous or pubescent, sepals 

 narrowly oblong, style stout columnar slightly curved 3-fid glabrous 3-4 

 times longer than the narrowly oblong sepals, base contracted above the 

 globose 3-4-celled glabrous ovary. Beddome Forester's Man. 195. Phyllan- 

 thus nemoralis, Muell. Arg. in DC. Prodr. xv. ii. 312.
