394 cxxxv. EUPHORBIACE.E. (J. D. Hooker.) [Croton. 



basal; glands rather large, subsessile ; petiole 1-2 in., stout, terete. Racemes 

 2-3 in. ; pedicels very short, stout ; bracts minute. Sepals of fern, stellate externally, 

 glabrous within except the villous base; disk annular, 5-lobed; petals minute, 

 subulate, with long hairs ; styles rather stout. Capsule i in. long, rather longer 

 than broad, top depressed. Seeds unripe. I have seen no male flowers, nor the 

 lanceolate leaves described by Thwaites. Beddome is disposed to regard this as a 

 form of C. aromaticus, but it appears to me entirely different, with the leaves of C. 

 Tig Hum, but very thick. 



f 25. C. flocculosus, Kurz For. FL ii. 375 ; shoots and leaves beneath 

 with soft woolly tomentum, leaves broadly ovate-cordate acute crenate 

 strongly 3-5-plinerved, capsules in terminal racemes subglobose softly 

 tomentose, seeds elliptic- oblong. Wall. Cat. 7743. 



PEGU and BUEMA; in the swamp forests of the Irrawaddi, Kurz-, hills opposite 

 Paghamew, Wallich. 



A tree ; branches stout, woody ; bark pale. Leaves 2-3 in. long and broad, pale 

 when dry, smooth above, at length glabrous beneath ; nerves 3-4 pair above the 

 basal, glands minute; petiole -1 in., rather slender. Capsule obscurely lobed. 

 Seeds % in., smooth, subterete or plano-convex. A very distinct species, but in an 

 incomplete state. 



B. Ovary glabrous, styles united in a short column. Sepals greatly 

 enlarged and foliaceous in fruit. 



26. C. Xiawianus, Nimmo in GraJi. Cat. Bomb. PL 251 ; young 

 leaves finely softly stellatety hairy, leaves shortly petioled broadly ovate 

 caudate -acuminate quite entire strongly 3-nerved, racemes short few-fld., 

 male fl. large membranous, stamens about 20, sepals of fern, large oblong 

 glabrous, ovary oblong glabrous 3-lobed, styles 3 united below very stout 

 recurved, capsule large rugose glabrous. Dalz. fy Gibs. Bomb. Fl. 232. Tri- 

 gonostemon Lawianus, Muell. Arg. in Linncea xxxiv. 212, and in DC. 

 Prodr. xv. ii. 1105 (in part}. 



CANABA ; on the Bababoodan Hills, Gibson, Law, Dalzell. 



Branches slender, terete, smooth. Leaves 3-5 in., thinly coriaceous, base rounded, 

 greenish when dry ; nerves 2-3 pair above the basal ; glands minute ; petiole % in., 

 terete. Racemes very slender ; bracts 0. Male fl. 3-5, | in. diam. ; pedicels 

 capillary ; sepals ovate, obtuse, gland-dotted, sparsely stellately hairy ; petals larger, 

 oblong, fimbriate ; stamens short ; disk of 5 large glands. Fern. fl. few, i in. 

 long ; pedicel as long, very stout, erect ; disk annular ; styles recurved 2-lobed, 

 lobes 2-fid. Capsule in. diam., shorter than the leafy green sepals, thickly crus- 

 taceous. Seeds %- in. long, oblong, striately mottled brown and white. The 

 female calyx resembles that of a Trigonostemon, whence Mueller's reference of this to 

 his T. Lawianus (Dimorphocatyx glabellus, Thw.). 



27. C. chlorocalyx, Wall. Cat. 8001 ; quite glabrous, leaves linear- 

 lanceolate caudate- acuminate subserrulate penninerved, racemes cymose 

 very slender, male fl. membranous, stamens 12-15 fern, subsolitary, sepals 

 oblong foliaceous, ovary oblong glabrous 3-lobed, styles 3 united below very 

 stout recurved 2-lobed. Muell. Arg, in DC. Prodr. xv. ii. 590. 



SILHET, Wallich. 



Branches stout, woody, bark pale. Leaves 59 in., ochreous yellow when dry, 

 pale beneath, base narrowed into the petiole; nerves 10-15 pair, very slender; 

 glands .minute ; petiole | in. Racemes shorter than the leaves. Male fl. \ in. 

 diam.; sepals and petals obtuse, undulate, tipped with hairs; disk-glands 0; recep- 

 tacle small, villous. Fern. fl. shortly pedicelled ; sepals oblong, in. long, green, 

 tip rounded ; petals subulate ; disk ; ovary shortly stipitate ; styles very stout, re- 

 curved, once or twice 2-fid. Habit of C. oblongifolim.
