2. S. eugrenieefolium, Ham. in Wall. Cat. 7970 ; branchlets glau-

A glabrous glaucous tree. Leaves 3-4 in., base acute ; nerves 6-10 pairs, very 

 slender, arched ; petiole 1^-2| in., very slender, 2-glandular at or below the tip (the 

 glands are rarely on the blade itself). Spikes 3-4 in., dense-fld. Styles jointed onto 

 the top of the ovary. Capsules ^-| in. diam., globose, wings of columella thick, 

 horned at the outer angle ; cocci very thick, woody. Seeds globose. Perhaps 

 not distinct from S. discolor. The ticket attached to Wallich's 7965 D, from 

 " Sirmore, ?? W. S. Webb, ? " is probably intended for this plant, though represented 

 by a fruiting specimen of S. baccatum which has never been found so far west as 

 Sirmore. 



3. S. baccatum, Boxb. Fl. 2nd. iii. 694 ; branches glaucous, leaves 

 long-petioled ovate or ovate-lanceolate acuminate quite entire glaucous 

 beneath, petiole glandular or not, racemes spiciform in terminal panicles 

 with conglobate glands on the rachis between the flowers, male fl. .very 

 minute, calyx irregularly toothed, fern. 3-fid, fruit baccate. Wig Jit Ic. 1. 1950,

A glabrous evergreen tree. Leaves 38 in., tips very slender; nerves 6 10 pair, 

 very slender; petiole 1-3 in. Racemes 3-4 in., in a spreading panicle, very slender ; 

 bracts very short. Male fl. \j in. diam., pedicels capillary -^ in.; stamens 2, in- 

 cluded. Fem.fi. subsessile ; style very short ; stigmas revolute. Fruit ^- in. diam., 

 globose. Wallich's No. 7973 from Singapore with leaves linear oblong and petioles 

 2-3 in. may be this, but it is a mere shoot. I have no doubt as to this being 

 Griffith's Exccecaria affinis, in the description of which inferius should be inferne.
