A small tree, branchlets not very stout, woody, glabrous. Leaves 3-5 by 1^-2 in., 

 very obscurely sinuate-crenate, thinly coriaceous, base rounded shortly and obscurely 

 triple-nerved with 2 glands above the base, -glands of under surface very obscure 

 and sunk in thp tissue of the leaf, but on some leaves there are very conspicuous 

 large circular black glands; nerves 10-12 pair, very slender ; petiole -1 in., very 

 slender; stipules at the tips of the branches, minute. Male panicles subtomentosely 

 pubescent; flowers -$ in. diam., pubescent and glandular. I have seen only male 

 flowers of this very distinct plant, which differs in habit and altogether in stipule's from 

 the two preceding. In stipules it resembles the group with M.javanica.

A small evergreen tree ; young parts rusty-tomentose ; branches and petioles at 

 length hoary and rather glaucous. Leaves 4-12 in. diam., thinly coriaceous, rather 

 longer than broad, base truncate with 2 glands above, glands beneath dense ; nerves 

 6 or more pairs above the basal, strong beneath ; petiole 24 in. ; stipules small, 

 ovate-lanceolate, tomentose, fugacious. Male panicles 4-6 in., hoary, with very 

 slender rachis, horizontal branches, and minute clusters of globose glandular and 

 pubescent flowers ; bracts small, sometimes expanding into an elliptic tomentose 

 lamina ; sepals 2-3, hemispheric. Fern, panicles smaller than the males ; calyx 

 3-4 lobed ; stigmas very short, linguiform, recurved. Capsules % in. diam., didy- 

 mous, black, with yellow glands. Seeds globose, black. Mueller describes the leaves 

 as eglandular, probably through inadvertence. I find no difference between the 

 Indian plants named denticulata and gummiflora, or their distribution, but I have seen 

 no typical specimen of the former, which was described from a Javan plant, or of the 

 latter which is a Sumatran one. Gamble gives Darjeeling alt. 5000 ft. as a locality 

 lor both. \

 styles subulate, capsule small globose or didymous glandular. Muell. Arq.
