ft.; frequent. Distrib. Ava, Malacca. — Leaves mostly broad-elliptic or oborate- 

 oblong, glabrous above, never tomentose beneath; corymbs (at least of 3) very 

 dense ; corolla exactly as of C. Myxa. — This is the plant united by modern authors 

 ■with the typical glabrous form of C. ohligua, Willd., which has a considerably larger 

 corolla. 



Vae. domestica; innovations fulvous-tomentose, leaves small young minutely 

 pubescent above closely grey tomentose beneath, corymbs small grey tomentose. C. 

 domestica, Both Nov. 8p. 123.— Deccan (?) ; Herb. Wight.— Leaves ^li in., repand- 

 crenate, mature nearly glabrous. Flowers as of C. Myxa. Berries (Vhen nearly 

 ripe) rostrate-acuminate, very unlike those of C. Myxa. This may be a distinct 

 species, and possibly more nearly allied to C.fulvosa, Wight. 



2. C. obliqua, WiUd. Sp. PI. i. 1072; innovations fulvous-villous, leaves 

 ovate or orbicular sub-3-nerved yoimg tomentose beneath adult glabrous, 

 corymbs divaricate dichotomous glabrous, calyx glabrous without or scarcely 

 villous on the margin, berry 1 in. ovoid subacute l-seeded. DC. Prodr. ix.

Vae. Wallichii ; adult leaves densely stellately fulvous- or white-tomentose 

 beneath, calyx glabrescent without below, teeth densely fulvous-viUous. C. Wallichii, .

 obliqua type. The two are undoubtedly one ; they differ in hairs only, and inter- 

 mediately hairy examples occur. 



3. C. monoica, Roxb. Cor. PI. i. 43, t. 58, and Fl. Ind. ed. Carey Sf Wall.

Deccan Peninsula from Orissa and the Central Provinces southwards to Cetlon ;

A small tree. Leaves 1-3 in., obtuse or subacute, subentire or sharply crenate. 

 Corymbs 1-2 in. diam., dense, monoicous or polygamous ; S usually 4-androus, $ 6- 

 androus. Calyx-tube J in, tomentose or pubescent ; teeth small, villous. Corolku- 

 lobes I in., narrow. Drupe yellow ; stone 4-celled, drilled at the apex, 3 cells barren, 

 one l-seeded. — The authentic specimens of C. 'polygama are identical with G. Tnonoica ; . 

 Wight has called the examples with subentire leaves C. monoica, and those with 

 strongly crenate leaves C. polygama.
