one much more densely cottony than the other. There is also a small leaved 

 state. 



2. T. polycarpa, Senth. in Gen. Plant, iii. 319; fern. fl. in short 

 racemes, fruit ovoid or subglobose i in. diam., pericarp thin. T. nudiflora, 

 Wight Ic. t. 1871 (thefem.fi. only) ; JBeddome Fl. Sylvat. t. 281. 



The CONCAN, Laiv, Stocks, &c. 



Leaves subopposite, of the form of T. nudiflora, hut faintly puberulous beneath, 

 sometimes 8 in. diam.; petiole very slender. Fern, racemes many-fill. Ovary 2- 

 celled ; styles \% in. long. Fruiting racemes 2-3 in.; pedicels about ;}- in. Fruit 

 ~i in. diam., densely finely tomenfose; pericarp crustaceous, loculicidal. 



THE FOLLOWING SPECIES AEE ALTOGETHER DOUBTFUL. 



T. DISCOLOE, Smith in Sees Cyclop, xxvi. ; leaves ovate entire minutely densely 

 tomentose, minutely punctate above white beneath, panicles terminal, male calyx 

 villous. Muell. Arg. in DC. Prodr. xv. ii. 954. E. Indies ? Mueller suggests this 

 being Mallotus Apelta or M.paniculatus. 



T. HEENANDIFOLIA, Eoth Nov. Sp. 374, is probably Macaranga indica, Wight. 



T. KUSCIFLOEA, Heyne in Roth Nov. Sp. 374. This is undeterminable generically 

 by the description. Mueller, Arg. (in DC. Prodr. xv. ii. 954), suggests it being a 

 Mallotus. 



52. COCCOCERAS, Miguel. 



Trees. Leaves alternate, entire or toothed, 3-plinerved. Flowers in 

 axillary and terminal racemes, dioecious, apetalous; males clustered, sub- 

 sessile ; fern, lax, pedicelled. Disk 0. MALE FL. Calyx globose, splitting 

 into 3-6 valvate sepals. Stamens 15-20, on a convex receptacle, filaments 

 free ; anthers dorwinxed, cells distinct parallel. Pistillode 0. FEM. FL. 

 Sepals 5, lanceolate, imbricate. Ovary 3-celled ; styles spreading, hispid; 

 ovules 1 in each cell. Capsule hard, depressed, the ribbed angles sometimes 

 horned or produced horizontally, at length loculicidally 3-valved. Seeds 

 subglobose or compressed, estrophiolate, testa smooth crustaceous. Species 

 3, Malayan. 



In a Bornean species apparently of this genus (Beccari 2502) the leaves are not 

 triple-nerved. 



1. C. muticum, Muell. Arg. in Fiora 1864, 470, and in DC. Prodr. 

 xv. ii. 950 ; quite glabrous, leaves long-petioled elliptic- or cuneate-oblong 

 obtusely acuminate quite entire, nerves 5-7 pairs above the basal, fruiting 

 racemes short, fruit shortly pedicelled triquetrous. 



MALACCA, Griffith (Kew Distrib. 4770). 



Branches woody. Leaves 5-6 in., pale grey when dry, most minutely gland- 

 dotted beneath, base mimtely cordate ; petiole 2~2 in. Fruiting raceme* (in the 

 solitary specimen) 1| in., pedicels ^ in. Fruit (immature) 1 in. long, lobes com- 

 pressed, acutely keeled, broader tban long ; top broadly rounded or truncate with a 

 very short style. Griffith in a note sa.ys the sepals are 6 reflexed. 



Var. ? pedicellata ; leaves with 3-4 nerves above the basal, fruiting racemes 8 

 12 in., pedicels 1 in. Malacca, Griffith (Keiv Distrib. 4789). The leaves are almost 

 identical with those of C. muticum, but the racemes so very different that I expect 

 this will prove a distinct species, which may be called C. pedice/latum. It is in very 

 young fruit only. 



2. C.plicatur^ Muell. Arg. in Flora 1864, 5o9, and in DG. Prodr. 

 xv. ii. 950; shoots racemes and young leaves beneath finely tomentose, 

 leaves shortly petiuled elliptic or oblong obtusely acuminate crenate,
