 racemes rigid, angular, glabrous or puberulous ; bracts minute. Male fl. minute, 

 J^ in long, clustered ; fern, larger, | in long, subsolitary, stoutly pedicelled ; sepals of

BTTRMA, at Amherst, Wallich\ UPPEE TENASSEEIM, Kurz. 



A shrub ; buds tawny-pubescent. Leaves 2-3 in. broad, nerves 10-12 pairs ; 

 petiole 1-1^ in., thickened at the tip. Racemes rather robust, bracts minute. Sepals 

 appressed -pubescent, of the fern, ovate -lanceolate ciliolate ; petals puberulous. Cap- 

 sule - in. diam., depressed, tridymous. Seeds subglobose, marbled. I have not 

 seen a good flowering specimen, and have taken the description partly from Kurz. 

 Baillon erred in citing for this plant Wallicb/s Croton Icetus, which is his No. 7738, 

 and a Mallotus. Of Wallich's 7740 there are three sheets in his Herbarium, of 

 which two, both marked A, consist of Claoxylon Wallichii and scraps of what I think 

 is Trigonostemon indicus ; the third, marked B, is T. Icetus of Baillon ; it bears the 

 mss. name of Acalypha atropurpurea, Wall., which was evidently intended for the 

 Claoxylon, some leaves of which have retained a red-purple hue. 



5. T. semperflorens, Muell. Arg. in DC. Prodr. xv. ii. 1110; 

 branches hispid, leaves very shortly petioled 5-10 in. oblanceolate from a 

 narrow cordate base pubescent beneath, racemes very short subsessile, 

 pedicels short stout, ovary hispid, styles 2-fid to the middle, capsules sub- 

 sessile hispid. T. Hookerianus, Muell. 1. c. 1109. Sylvaea Hookeriana,

ASSAM, SILHET and CACHAE, Hamilton, &c. 



A small shrub ; branches rather stout. Leaves 1-3 in. broad, very dark when dry, 

 membranous, panduriformly constricted above the base, obscurely serrulate and ciliate ; 

 nerves 15-25 pair ; slender, spreading, and midrib tomentose ; petiole -f in., very 

 stout, tomentose. Racemes inconspicuous, axillary and from the branches. Male fl. 

 many, purple ; fern, fewer, larger, -^ in. diam., green ; sepals unequal, oblong, hispid; 

 petals orbicular; disk and anthers as in T. heteranthus. Capsule j-J in. diam., 

 3-lobed, thinly crustaceous. Roxburgh describes the fern. fl. as apetalous in semper - 

 florens, and Mueller as obovate in Hookerianus. 



6. T. villosus, HooJc.f.; bran chlets leaves beneath and inflorescence 

 villously rusty-tomentose, leaves thin oblanceolate from a narrow rounded 

 or subcordate base finely acuminate, racemes long-peduncled, anthers 3, 

 ovary villously hispid, styles divided to the base. 



PEEAK, King's Collector. 



Leaves 4-7 by 1^-2 in., brown when dry, membranous, sometimes a little con- 

 tracted above the base and subpanduriforin, pubescent above, at length glabrate, 

 entire or very obscurely toothed ; nerves 9-14 pairs, slender, spreading ; petiole 

 -1 in. Peduncles slender, nearly as long as the leaves ; bracts leafy, lanceolate, 

 - in. long ; pedicels as long or longer. Malefl. $ in. diam. ; sepals oblong, villous;
