10. C. latlfollus, Wall. Cat. 8637 (by error 5837); leaflets elliptic- 

 oblong^ with contracted obtuse or notched points, capsule | by | in. shortly 

 subcylindiic very turgid abruptly contracted into the stalk, top rounded scarcely 

 apiculate. Oonnaracea ? 8645. 



Mabtaban, at Moulmein, WalUch. Tenasseeim, at Tavoy, G^amez. 



Leaflets 4-7 by 1^3 in., coriaceous, quite glabrous ; nerves 5 pairs, slender, arched, 

 reticulations indistinct. Panicles widely spreading. Flowers ^ in. long. Capsiiles 

 ■with very round tops, and an obscure sublateral point, finely puberulous within. 



11. C. svajLAls, Jack in Mai. Misc. 2, vii. 40; leaflets 8-14 in. elliptic- 

 oblong obtuse or obtusely acuminate thickly coriaceous polished, nerves 8-10 

 pairs, capsules 2 by f-1 in. contracted into the stalk turgid woody. Planch, in 

 lAnmsa, ixiii. 429. 0. Wallichii,' Planch, in lAnntBU, xxiii. 426. Oomiaracea, 

 Wall. Cat. 8538, A, B (in part). 



Eastbbn Peninsula, Sincapore and Penang, Wallich ; Malacca, Griffith, Main- 

 gay; Tenassehim or Andaman Islands, Heifer. 



Branches and petioles very robust, quite glabrous. Leaflets 3-5, much the largest, 

 most coriaceous and polished of the genus, transverse nerves distinct beneath ; petiolules 

 short, stout. Panicles spreading, clothed with hoary down. Flowers j/in. long. 

 Sepals linear-oblong, obtuse. Petals twice as long, almost glabrous, linear, dilated 

 upwards. Filaments puberulous, longer, three times as long as the others. Capsule 

 coarsely striated, glabrous, sutures rounded, not keeled or raised. 



12i C Kaln^ayl, Hook. f. ; leaflets ovate or eUiptie-ovate obtusely 

 acuminate very coriaceous pale, nerves very faint, capsules 1-1 J by ^ in. elliptic 

 or subcylindric, stalk obscure. 



Eastern Peninstjla ; Malacca, Maingay. 



Branches rather stout, glabrous. Leaflets 5, 3-5 by 1 j— 2^ in., closely finely reticu- 

 lated, opaque and pale grey on both surfaces. , Panicles hoary-pubescent. Flowers 

 ^ in. long. Sepals small, ovate-lanceolate. Petals three times as long, linear, with 

 black dots, hoary on both surfaces. Capsules, young, 1^ by ^ in., terete, grqoved at 

 both sutures, top rounded and mucronate, striae quite longitudinal ; old more elliptic ; 

 valves -woody, velvety ■ within. — Very near and perhaps identical with, C. falcatns, 

 Blume of Borneo. I find great varieties in the' capsules of Maingay's specimens, in 

 part I assume depending on age ; the longer are almost straight and subcylindric and 

 \ in. diam. ; the shorter are ellipsoid and | in. diam. ; a few are i^ in. long, curved 

 and more distinctly stalked, as in Blume's/uteoiMS. 



13. C. oligropbyllus, Planch, in IAnn<ea, xxiii. 427 ; leaflets elliptic- 

 lanceolate obtusely acuminate lower 2-3 pairs of nerves prominent beneath, 

 panicle hoary-pubescent, capside Ij— 1^ by ^ in. fusiform-clavate symmetrical 

 apiculate obscurely stalked grooved on one face. Oonnaracea, Wall. Cat. 8642 

 (in part) and 8539, D (in part). 



Penang, Porter. 



Branches and leaves quite glabrous. Leaflets 5, 4-7 by li-2f in. ; base acute, thinly 

 coriaceous, shining on both surfaces, pale red-brown beneath, the lowest pair of nerves 

 quite basal, the succeeding pairs distant, all very oblique ; petiole and petiolules 

 slender. Panicle subpyramidal, nearly black; branches slender, ascending, rufous- 

 pubescent. Flowers ^ in. long. Sepals oblong, obtuse, hoary. Capsules nearly straight, 

 dark brown, smooth, striated longitudinally, tip rounded, apiculatfe ; valves coriaceous, 

 finely pubescent within. — The sheet of 8539 D. in "WaU.'s Herb, contains three 

 fragments of this plant without fruit, one flowering specimen of 8639 A ( C panicu- 

 latus), and three capsules of the same (glabrous inside). The sheet of 8542 consists 

 of flqwering specimens of this ; and 8542 B. consists of this and C. paniculatus or 

 monocarpus. The specimen given to Bentham by Wallich is in fine fruit. This 

 seems to diflFer entirely from C. Maingayi in the foliage, large panicle, and sepals.
