496 XXXIII. RUTACB^. (J. D. Hooker.) [Zanthoxytum. 



and Ceylon specimens of Z. Bhetsa, with a few leaves, as Koxburgh describes in Z. 

 Budrvmga, which leads me to suspect that Roxburgh may, by some mistake, have 

 (^escribed a specimen of Z. Bhetsa with few leaflets for one of the Silhet Z. Budrunga. 

 Should this not he so, and should his Budrunga prove rehlly different from Bhetsa, 

 "Wallich's name of Z. erenatum must be given to the plant here described. 



11. Z. myriacantliuia, Wall. Cat. 1214; copiously armed except the 

 petioles with short straight prickles, leaflets 4-8 pairs coriaceous not very 

 oblique glabrous crenulate, cymes large terminal pubescent, carpels very 

 small. Z. ?longifolium, Wall. Cat. 7115. 



Pekakg, Porter; Malacca, Maingay. 



A large tall tree (Porter). Branches stout, densely armed. Leaves 1-1 4 ft. ; petiole 

 unarmed ; leaflets 3-4 in., opposite, oblong or oblong-lanceolate, acute or subacuminate, 

 crenatures minute and shallow, nerves spreading distinct beneath ; partial petioles very 

 short. Cymes long and broad, with much longer primary branches than Z. Khetsa, 

 which are terete and alternate, very pubescent, and bear a few scattered prickles. 

 Flowers g in. diam., subsessile, 5-nierous. Calyx 3- or more-, bracteate at the base. 

 Petals 5, imbricate. Ovaries 3. Bipe carpels I in. diam., compressed, apiculale. 

 Seed compressed, ^\ in. diam., not quite ripe. 



DOUBTrtlL, REJECTED, AND UNKNOWN SPECIES. 



Z. ARMATDM, Boxh. Cat. Hort. Beng. 727 ; DO. Prodr. i. 727, is probably Z. Bhetsa 

 or Z. Budrunga. 



Z. ? Bajaknandia, Wall. Cat. 7118; a very imperfect specimen, consisting of a 

 broken unarmed petiole, 10 detached leaflets like those oi Z. oblongum, but narrower, 

 more finely acuminate, and with more numeious nerves and an even more oblique base, 

 ripe carpels larger. — Assam, at Guralpara, Hamilton. Probably Z. Bhetsa, DC, but 

 too imperfect for determination. > 



Z. ? CONNAKOIDES, W. & A. Prodr. 148, is a species of Heynea. 



Z. ? FiNLATsoNiANCM, Wall. Cat. 7114; glabrous, branches as in Z. spondicefolium, 

 but tlie more numerous prickles are seated on a compressed woody conical base much 

 broader than' themselves, leaves 3 in., petiole very slender obscurely winged minutely 

 armed, leaflets 8-10 alternate J-^ in. rhomboid-ovate obtuse crenate, panicles axillary 

 and terminal peduncled quite glabrous, flowers small subumbelled, petals 5.— Siam"? 

 Herb. Finlayson. 



Z OBTDSiFOLinM, Poir. Suppl. ii. 293 ; DC. Prodr. i. 727, is a doubtful nalive of 

 India and probably not a Zanthoxylum. 



Z. BHoiFOLiuM, Lamh. ; DC. I.e. is not Indian, but the Z. sorbifoUum, A. St. Hil,, 

 of America. 



Z. SAPiNDiPOLiuM, WaU. Cat. 1215, from Amherst. Of this there is no specimen 

 in Wallicb's Herbarium, hut only a blank sheet with the ticket attached. 



Z. Seeea, Turcz. in Bull. Soc. Nat. Mosc. 1868, i. 440, is Saurauja nepalensis. 



Z. SP0NDI.«F0UUM, Wall. Cat. 1217 ; branches as thick as a goose-quill, bark rough, 

 with very small conical prickles, leaves crowded at the end of the branch 4-5in. 

 glabrous, petiole slender unarmed, leaflets 5-8 subopposite 2-24 'n- elliptic-ovate acu- 

 minate quite entire, partial petiole ^ in., flower-buds minute in short axillaiy cluster.^, 

 petals 4, glabrous. — Amherst, Wallieh. 



Z. TEiPLOKtiM, 7krcz. I.e. 1863, i. 597, described as having opposite leaves not pel- 

 lucid dotted and 3-flowered pedimcles in the upper axils, and which is .a Nilgliiri 

 plant (Perottet, No. 154) is clearly not of this genus. It may be Melicojpe indiea, W.
