37. C/erodendi'on inerme Gartn. 



Erect, sarmentose or subscandent shrub whose ripe fruits 1 ) 

 possess a thick corky exocarp, separating into 4 parts, each 

 of which contains a hard one-seeded kernel. The plant grows 

 on the beach and especially along river-mouths and on other 

 water-sides near the sea; one often sees its fruits floating 

 on the water. Ernst supposes 2 ) that the fruits are also 

 spread by birds, but this I think very improbable. 

 A few scattered specimens on the littoral plain.

1 ) Described by S c h i m p e r, Indo-Malayische Strandflora (1891), p, 173. The sta- 

 tement I. c. p. 75 that the fruit of this species is a berry, is incorrect.
