DOTTBTFUL SPECIES. 



T. MOLTTCCANA, Wall. Oat. 3969 consists of leaves generally resembling those of T. 

 proeera, and a detached fruit which also resembles that of T. procera. But the petioles 

 have a thickening simulating an articulation, and M. Flanchon has suggested (by a 

 note on the specimen) that the leaves are those of an Elesoaarpus. 



T. ANOusTrFOMA, Boxb. Sort. Beng. .33 and Fl. Ind, ii. 437 ; a large tree, tender 

 parts hairy, leaves narrow-lanceolate acuminate glandular on the margin at the base, 

 fruit scarcely distinguishable from that of T. Ckebula, young leaves with much ferru- 

 ginous hair. T. travancorensis, W. ^ A. Vrodr. 314. Tinnevelly and Travancore, 

 Soxlmrgh. — No example known and not seen by anyone except Roxburgh ; if it be 

 not a variety merely of T. Chebula. 



T. BENQALEsrsis, Roxb. in DC. Vrodr. iii. 12 ; leaves alternate obovate obtuse entire 

 glabrous on both surfaces and the petioles without glands. In Bengal. — This species 

 "is not known by any authentic specimen and is insufiiciently described : it is 

 improbable that it is distinct from all the other known species. 



2. CAXiVCOPTEXlXS, Lamk. 



A. diflFiise shrub with drooping branches. Leaves opposite, shortly petioled> 

 elliptic or ovate, acuminate, entire. Bacemes dense, axillary, and crowded 

 towards the ends of the branches so as to form large panicles. Flowers small, 

 greenish, each with a lanceolate bract. Calj/x-tabe 5-striate, produced above 

 the ovary ; limb 6-fid, persistent and much enlarged in fruit. Petals 0. /Sta- 

 mens 10, the five upper ones between the calyx-teeth, the five others alternate 

 with them and lower down on the calyx-tube. Ovary l-celled, inferior ; style 

 subulate, simple ; ovules 3, pendulous from the top of the cell. IVuit narrow, 

 ovoid, 6-ribbed, villous, 1-seeded, surmounted by the enlarged calyx. Cotyle- 

 dons convolute.
