Glabrous; branchlets rather stout. Leaves 6-8 in., coriaceous, dark brown when 

 dry, base rounded or broadly cuneate ; nerves 10-14 pairs, very spreading, slender ; 

 petiole in. Racemes 6-3 in. ; bracts ; pedicels T V- in. ; flowers longer than 

 in the other species. Pistillode columnar, truncate, tornentose. . Fruit immature, 

 " flesliy, capsular, rugose, pale green with 3 longitudinal alae extending from the 

 apex to the base, 2-3-locular," Maingay mss. Possibly generically distinct from 

 Galearia. 



** Anther-cells hispid, filaments glabrous or pubescent. 



2. Cr. fulva, Muell. Arg. in Linncea xxxiv. 205, and in DC. Prodr. xv. 

 ii. 1037 (Bennettia} ; branchlets and racemes rusty-tomentose,leaves elliptic- 

 lanceolate acuminate sparsely pubescent at length, glabrous beneath, male 

 flowers shortly pedicelled, margins of petals ciliate, anthers hispid, filaments 

 glabrous. Cremostachys fulva, Tulasne in Ann. Sc. Nat. Ser. 3, xv. (1851) 

 262. Bennettia, Wall. Cat. 8585 C (in part). 



PENANG, Wallich, Phillips, &c. 



Shoots densely rusty tomentose. Leaves 4-8 in., yellowish especially beneath 

 when dry, base acute, rarely elliptic with a rounded base, nerves 7-10 pairs ; petiole 

 JTJ- in., pubescent. Racemes a foot long and less, slender ; bracts minute, or the lowest 

 subulate ; malefl. subglobose, -J^- in. diam. ; pedicels rather longer. Petals orbicular. 

 Pistillode short, subclavate, with a rounded hispid top. Ovary densely fulvous to- 

 mentose. Younff fruit transversely oblong, velvety with pale tomentum. 



3. G. pedicellata, Br. in Bennett Fl. Jav. 251 (Bennettia) ; branch- 

 lets and racemes puberulous, leaves elliptic or obovate-oblong or narrowly 

 oblong or lanceolate acuminate glabrous or puberulous beneath, male 

 pedicels much longer than the flowers, petals very broad glabrous margins 

 ciliate, filaments and anthers hispid. Bennettia pedicellata, Muell. Arg. in 

 DC. Prodr. xv. ii. 1039. Bennettia, Wall. Cat. 8585 (in part). 



PENANG, Wallich, Phillips. 



A small tree, 10 ft. Leaves 6-12 in., and petioles very much as in G. fulva. 

 Male racemes 12-16 in., slender ; bracts minute, subulate ; pedicels T y-| in. ; 

 flowers T V~i i n - diam., depressed. 



4. Cr. Helferi, Hook. f. ; branchlets and racemes finely tomentose, 

 leaves narrowly oblong or elliptic or oblanceolate acuminate glabrous 

 beneath, flowers subsessile minute, petals wholly glabrous, anther-cells 

 hispidly ciliate filaments glabrous. G. Wallichii, Kurz For. Fl. ii. 407. 



TENASSEEIM, Heifer (Kew Distrib. 4968), Kurz. 



Branchlets and racemes, when dry, almost black with very fine pubescence. 

 Leaves 8-12 by 2^-3^ in., rather membranous, narrower than in other Indian species, 

 with fewer (6-8 pairs) nerves for their length ; petiole longer, in., and costa 

 beneath dark and pubescent. Male racemes 12 in. ; bracts or obscure ; flowers J T in., 

 subglobose. Filaments very short, glabrous. Pistillode conical, glabrous. This 

 from his description is evidently Kurz's Wallichii ; he describes the fruit as (accord- 

 ing to Brandis) " the size of a prune, blue and pruinous, broader than long, the stone 

 unequally wrinkled." 



5. Cr. Jackiana, Br. in Bennett Fl. Jav. 251 (Bennettia) ; branchlets 

 and racemes finely pubescent, leaves elliptic-lanceolate or oblanceolate 

 acuminate glabrous or puberulous beneath, flowers subsessile very minute, 

 margins of petals ciliate, anthers hispid. Bennettia, Wall. Cat. 8585 A. 

 Limonia leptostachya, Jack mss. 



PENANG, Jack. 



This has the foliage of G. fulva, and the minute flowers of G. Helferi.
