3-1 ft. long, thin-coriaceous, minutely puberous, but soon quite 
glabrous, glaucous beneath ; flowers yellowish, in involucred tawny- 
pubescent umbels forming long, tawny-puberulous or pubescent 
racemes springing either singly or more usually by pairs from the 
axils of the leaves or from above the scars of the fallen ones ; pedun- 
cles tomentose, 2-3 lin. long ; involucre-leaflets rotundate, concave, 
rusty-pubescent ; perianth densely rusty-pubescent, 6-parted ; fila- 
ments hirsute at the base; berries broader than long and almost 
didymous, the size of a pea, 2-seeded, seated on an entire, small, 
cup-like expansion of the perianth-base.

17. T. albicans, Kz.—An evergreen tree (20—25 + (?) +1), the

6-10 in. long, glabrous, beneath whitish, the net-veination between 
_ the thin prominent nerves thin but conspicuous ; umbels involucred, 
velvety-tomentose, on slender greyish-tomentose peduncles about 
4 lin. long, forming a shortened or almost sessile velvety-tomentose- 
raceme in the axils of the leaves or more usually above the scars of 
the fallen ones ; involucre-leaflets greyish velvety ; fruits resting on 
a large, fleshy, waved-lobed cup narrowed into a thick pedicel.
