376 cxxxv. EUPHORBIACEJS. (J. D. Hooker.) [Baccaurea. 



depressed-globose 3-celled obscurely 3-lobed smooth rusty-puberulous, peri- 

 carp rather thick, seeds \ in. long broadly ellipsoid compressed smooth. 



PERAK, Scortechini. This in Herb. Calcutta is named B. macrocarpa, Muell., bat 

 it does not agree with the description of that species. 



27. Baccaurea sp. G- ; branchlets petioles and leaves beneath tomen- 

 tose, leaves 5-6 in. coriaceous elliptic acute or acuminate base acute or obtuse 

 shining above, nerves 6-8 pairs very strong beneath, petiole equalling -f of 

 the blade, fruiting racemes 1-3 in. very stout tomentose, fruit subsessile 

 f-1 in. long obovoidly pyriform terete 3-celled smooth finely pubernlous, 

 pedicel bracteate at the base, top rounded, stigmas 3 short -depressed 2-fid, 

 arms short recurved, pericarp thick glabrous within, seed as in sp. 26. 



MALACCA, Griffith (Kew Distrib. 4901), Maingay (Kew Dlsirib. 1361). Perhaps 

 a variety of 26. 



28. Baccaurea sp. H ; a small shrub or tree 10-15 ft., branches slender 

 with pure white bark, leaves 3-5 in. rather membranous elliptic-lanceolate 

 obtuse, base very acute, nerves 5-6 pairs very slender and nervules faintly 

 reticulate, petiole -f in., fruiting racemes very short from, the branches 

 1-2 in. slender glabrous, pedicels -^ in. ebracteate tomentose jointed about 

 the middle, sepals caducous, fruit 3- in. turgidly ellipsoid rarely globose 

 obscurely puberulous and wrinkled 2-celled base rather contracted top 

 rounded with a very short style and 3 minute stigmas, pericarp very thin, 

 endocarp not separable pale red-brown within, seeds \ in. obovoidly orbicular 

 compressed smooth, umbonate at the lower end. 



PERAK, King's Collector (No. 7213). Closely resembles a fruiting Javanese 

 specimen of -B. javanica, Muell., from Teysmann, which differs in not having white 

 bark, and in there being minute subulate bracts at the base of the pedicels. Also 

 resembles a plant named B. acuminala, Muell., from the Nicobar Islands in the 

 Calcutta Herbarium, but neither has that white bark. The Bornean plant, Motley 

 n. 579, referred by Mueller to . javanica is, I think, quite different from all the 

 above. 



29. Baccaurea ? symplocoides, Hoolc.f. ; quite glabrous, branches 

 slender, leaves 4-5 in. membranous ovate-lanceolate caudate-acuminate pen- 

 ninerved, nerves 6-7 pairs slender, petiole slender, fern, racemes axillary 

 on the young branches rather longer than the petioles, rachis and peduncle 

 puberulous, bracts minute broad membranous, sepals 4-5 minute broad, 

 ovary ovoid oblong compressed truncate, stigmas 2 very short, fruit % in. 

 long ellipsoid or ovoid smooth, epicarp thin, endocarp papery. 



PERAK, Scortechini; Larut and Goping, King's Collector. 



A. tree, 30-40 ft. ; branchlets smooth, often dark purple. Leaves greenish when 

 dry and margins undulate, base cuneate or acute ; petiole ^-f in. Fern, racemes 

 1-1^- in. ; pedicels T \j in., of fruit - in. Calyx very minute, not enlarged in fruit. 

 Fruit yellow, endocarp and septum glabrous within. Seeds oblong with a thin fleshy 

 coat. 



PIERARDIA, Wall. Cat. 7906, from Singapore, is not of this genus, and is 

 undeterminable. 



HYTOENOCARDIA, Wall. 



Shrubs or trees. Leaves alternate, quite entire, and triple-nerved at the 

 base or penninerved. Flowers dio3cious,apetalous; males solitary in the bracts 

 of a catkin-like lateral spike, females in short axillary or lateral racemes ; 

 bracts often foliaceous in fruit. DisTc 0. MALE FL. Calyx .membranous,
