Branches slender, bark pale. Leaves subverticillate at the ends of the branches, 

 1^-2 in. broad, usually pale ochreous beneath, margin rarely with a few minute 

 distant gland-tipped teeth, base usually acute ; nerves 15-20 pairs, very slender j 

 petiole 2-4 in., sometimes as long as the blade, very slender. Racemes 2-3 in., slender, 

 quite glabrous, the uppermost flower female about ^ in. diam., males much smaller ; 

 sepals nearly orbicular, glabrous ; petiole larger. Capsule (immature) hoary. Baillon, 

 followed by Mueller, erroneously cites as a synonym Wallich's Croton lozvigatus, which 

 is a different plant. 



Sect. III. PYCNANTHEKA. Racemes or spikes terminal. Anthers 3 

 sessile on a short column, cells adnate to the greatly thickened connective. 



8. T. diplopetalus, Thwaites Enum. 277 ; nearly glabrous, leaves 

 69 in. shortly petioled elliptic lanceolate or oblanceolate obtusely acuminate 

 remotely denticulate, racemes terminal sessile elongate puberulous, male fl. 

 minute clustered shortly pedicelled, anthers 3, fern, solitary longer pedi- 

 celled, ovary pubescent, styles short twice bifid, capsule pubescent. Muell.

CEYLON ; in the Reigam Corle, Thwaites. 



A shrub or small tree, young parts puberulous. Leaves l-2 in. broad, dark 

 brown and opaque when dry, toothlets glandular, base very acute ; nerves 2030 pair, 

 slender, nearly horizontal ; petiole ^-| in., channelled above. Male spike with a 

 stout rachis ; flowers T ^ in. diam. ; bracts very short ; fern. fl. on pedicels % in. long ; 

 sepals oblong ; petals larger, 2-fid, lobes rounded sinuously laciniate; anthers sessile, 

 cells diverging from the top of an almost globose connective. Capsule 3 lobed, globose, 

 smooth, in. diam. Thwaites describes the capsule as 2 in. diam., possibly a typo- 

 graphical error for -j-f. I have seen but one specimen and no fern, flowers. 



9. T. nemoralis, Thwaites Enum. 277 ; nearly glabrous, leaves 3-7 in. 

 very shortly petioled elliptic-oblong or -lanceolate obtuse sinuate-toothed, 

 racemes terminal stout shorter or longer than the leaves silkily pubescent, 

 male fl. clustered shortly pedicelled, fern, solitary longer pedicelled, ovary 

 hispid, styles very short and broad, capsule muricate and hairy. Muell.

A shrub or small tree ; young parts silkily hairy. Leaves 1-2 in. broad, crowded 

 at the ends of the branches, green when dry, rather coriaceous ; nerves 10-12 pairs,
