A shrub with horizontal slender branches. Leaves deciduous, sometimes 5 by 3 

 in., but usually much smaller, membranous, green when dry, nerves beneath some- 

 what hairy, base rounded or acute, always shortly contracted into the short petiole ; 

 stipules subulate. Flowers axillary, pure white, fragrant, 1-1| in. diam. ; corolla^ 

 lobes obovate^oblong. Calyx-limb with many glandular teeth. Fruit ^ in. long, 

 ■didymous when 2-seeded, " black, and size of a small cherry," Boxb. 



2. C VTig^btiana, W. ^ A. Prodr. 436 ; glabrous, leaves small subsessile 

 ovate obtuse glabrous or woolly in the nerve-axUs beneath, flowers subsolitary

A much branched almost spinescent shrub, with slender divaricate branches. 

 Leaves J-I5 in., rather coriaceous, pale when dry ; stipules spinescent. Floweis white, 

 with much narrower corolla-lobes than C. bengalensis. Fruit much broader than long, 

 ^ in. diam., with a deep furrow between the lobes. — Thwaites and Wight & Arnott re- 

 gard this as a probable variety of C. travancoreusis. 



3. C. travancorensis, W. Sf A. Prodr. 435; glabrous or branches 

 pubemlous, leaves elliptic-lanceolate or broadly elliptic obtuse or obtusely 

 •caudate-acuminate, flowers 3-4-nate 5-merous appearing with the leaves, calyx-

SiLHET, Gomez ; Tenasserim, Heifer ; Mbegtji, Griffith. 



Verj similar indeed to C. travancm-ensis, and perhaps a variety of it, but the leaves 

 are more shining, with the nerves more raised, and the calyx-limb, which is deeply 

 ■cupped, is many-toothed. Fruit in Teuasserim examples 5 in. diam., broadly didy- 

 mous, exactly as in C. travancoreusis.

 leaves elliptic-lanceolate caudate-acuminate, base acute, nerves 7-8 pair, calyx-
