 branches spreading, alternate. Flowers shortly pedicelled, | in. diam., white ; buds 

 globose. Petals oblong, glabrous. Fruii | in., broadly oblong. 



Var. vUlosa; clothed with soft spreading hairs, petals hirsute. — Eangoon.

 5-celled, style very short glabrous above, stigma 5-lobed, ovules 2 in each 

 cell superposed. (Miv. in Journ. Linn. Soc'. v. Suppl. ii. 34. Cookia punc-

Cultivated in India and the Eastern Islands ; native probably of China. 



A small glabrous tree, with a sweet terebintbine odour. Leaves 4-10 in. ; petiole

 Panide large, erect, compound, branched from the base, branches stout. Flowers^ in.

 nearly globose ; rind tough, covered with glands full of green balsamic oil. Seed solitary. 



6. C. WalUchii, Oliv. in Journ. Linn. Soo. v. Suppl. ii. 35 ; leaves 

 13-17-foliolate, leaflets rhomboid or oblong-lanceolate crenulate glabrous, 

 petiole and rachis obscurely winged, flowers 5-merous, ovary glabrous 

 4-5-celled, style distinct, ovules 2 superposed in each cell.

Branchltts terete, black when dry, smooth. Leaves 8-1 2 in. ; leaflets 2-3 in., alter- 

 nate, oblique, caudate-acuminate with an obtuse notched tip, narrowed into a cuheate 

 base ; petiole very slender, margined rather than winged. Panicle 3-5 in. long and 

 broad, much branched ; branches ereoto-patent, glabrous, strict. Flowers subsessile, 

 J in. diam., glabrous. Calyx 5-'g3,rt\te. Petals imbricate. /Stemcras 10, free, filaments 

 thickened in the middle. Ovary on a short narrow stalk, usually 5-celled ; style very 

 short, grooved, as broad as the stigma ; ovules obliquely superposed. — Oliver remarks 

 that when the ovary is 4-celled, the ovules in at least one cell are collateral, as also 

 that this species weakens the distinction between Clausena and Murraya.
