■IXieoearpiis.] xxviii. TiLiACEiE. (Maxwell T. Masters.) 403 



, Ovary 3-celled. Drupe 2 hy 1 in., tuberolei.— Differs from E. rohustug in the narrow 

 pointed flower-buds. It is open to doubt whether the fruit pkced with it in the Ksw 

 Herb, belongs to this species. 



** Anthers usually beardless. 



11. E. leptostachya, Wall. Cat. 2672 : leaves glabrous lanceolate 

 serrulate, peduncles erect, pedicels pilose, flower-buds rounded, anthers 

 beardless, C. Midi. Anot. defam. Elceoca/rp. 23. 



Tbnasseeim, Heifer; Penahg, Wallich. 



A tree. Leaves 6-8 by 2-3 in., serrulate, base rounded ; petiole 2-2^ in., thickened 

 at the apex. Peduncles half the length of the leaves. Flowers J in. diam. Sepah 

 .pttbescent. Petals cuneate, ciliate, tip laciniate. Ovary villous, 3-celled. — Very like 

 XroJttsiiM, but the anthers are not bearded. ', , 



12. E. lucldus, RmA. Hort. Beng. 42 ; Fl. Ind. ii. 600 ; leaves glabrous 

 lanceolate serrate, racemes as longas the leaves, flower-buds ovoid-conical, 

 anthers beardless. 



Chittasong ; Boxburgh, Griffith. 



A tree. Leaves 5 by 2 in., acute, serratures spiny, base rounded ; petiole 1 irt. 

 Eaceme erect, many-flowered, scarcely so long as the leaves. Flowers Jin. diam. 

 ■Sepals lanceolate. Petals laciniate halfway down. Anthers puberulous. Lish villous.. 

 Fruit not seen. — Differs from F. robmtus in the beardless anthers as well as in the 

 pointed buds and smaller flowers. 



13. _ E. oblongrus, Gcertn. ; W. & A. Prodr. 82 '; leaves glabrous 

 elliptic acute or acuminate serrate, stamens 30-40, anther-valves beardless 

 or bearded, drupe oblong, stone 1-celled 1-seeded. SmiiA in Rees Cyel.,;

Tbnasseeim, at Moulmein, Lohb; Westeen Peninsdla, from the Concan • to Tra- 

 vancor. — Disteib. Moluccas, Borneo. 



A tree. Leaves 3-4 by l|-2 in., base wedge-shaped ; petiole |-1 in., glandular at 

 ' the apex. Bacemes from the axils of the fallen leaves. Flower-buds ovoid-conidal. 

 Petals ciliolate. Drupe 1 in. — Wight and Arnott make two vara, of this species — ^bne 

 var., a, with acute leaves and stout pedicels, the other var. /S, with marked acuminate 

 leaves and slender pedicels; the former has also larger flowers and more lanceolate sepals, 

 the latter has smaller flowers and ovate acute sepals ; but the two forms seem'to merge 

 one into the other. 1 he saccate glands seen on the under surface of the leaves in 

 this and other species are possibly the result of insect agency. 



14. E.'polystacbyus, Wall. Cat. 2671 ; leaves elliptic-oblongs serrulate 

 pubescent beneath, flower-buds subglobose, petals almost entire at the 

 apex, stamens 40-50, anthers beardless, drupe 1-celled. — G. Miill. Anot. de 

 fam. McBooarp. 20, f. 13.

A tree ; shoots, petioles, peduncles, pedicels and sepals pubpsoent. Leaves 4-8 by 

 3-4 in., base rounded ; petiole 24 in., thickened at the apex. Ped'uneles scarcely 

 exceeding the petioles, pedicels resupinate. Flowers J in. diam. Petals oblong. 

 Stamens numerous. Glands of d^sk obsolete. Ovary 2-oelled. Drupe | in., glabrous, 

 orustaceous. ' ' 



15. E. g'labrescens, Mast. ; leaves at first covered with ferruginous 

 down afterwards glabrescent lanceolate-acuminate, stamens 15-20, anthers
