Habit and foliage of G. multiflorum, but the flowers are much smaller, always in 

 sessile fascicles, longer pedicelled, and the capsule is like that of G. lanceolatum. 

 Specimens of this in the Kew Herbarium are named by Roxburgh G. bifarium and 

 Sarugada dicocca, but whether it is the G. bifarium of that botanist's Flora Indica is 

 rather doubtful ; for he describes the latter (from garden specimens the locality of 

 which he did not know) as having a fleshy yellow always 2-lobed capsule, of which 

 fleshiness there is no sign in his specimens. Kurz describes the fruit as fleshy- 

 coriaceous, the size of a large pea, rarely 3-coccous.

A small robust much-branched species, distinguished by its small flowers, always 

 round-topped very shining yellow leaves, very faint nerves, and globose capsules, 

 which show no sign of dehiscence. The Penang specimens are not in fruit, but I 

 think they belong to this species. 



63. CHJETOCARPUS, Tfiwaites. 



Shrubs or trees with the habit of Glochidion. Leaves alternate, 

 quite entire, penninerved, coriaceous. Flowers small, in axillary clusters, 

 dioecious, apetalous. Disk entire or 4-10-lobed. MALE PL. Sepals 4-5, 

 imbricate. Stamens 5-20, filaments combined below in a slender column, 

 spreading above ; anthers oblong, dorsifixed, cells parallel. Pistillode crown- 

 ing the staminal column, 3-fid, villous. FEM. FL. Calyx of the male. Ovary 

 3-celled; styles distinct, incurved, 2-partite; cells 1-ovuled. Capsule sub-

 ovoid or subglobo?e, caruncle large coloured 2-lobed, testa crustaceous black 

 shining, albumen fleshy ; cotyledons flat, broad. Species about 8, Indian, 

 Malayan and American.
