which it represents as too broad and with too many fimbriae : other- 
wise it is an equally exact representation of the Indian plant described by 
him as E. Ganitrus, and of E. cyanocarpa, Maingay. 
2. El^ocarpus parvifolius, Wall. Cat, 2G62 A & B. A tree 30 
to 50 feet high: young branches at first minutely pubescent, ultimately 
glabrous greyish-brown and minutely lent ice Hate. Leaver membranous, 
ovate-oblong, rather bluntly acuminate, serrulate, the base cuneato : 
upper surface shining-, glabrous ; the lower dull of chocolate brown 
colon r, glabrous or glabreseent, the midrib and 5 or 6 pairs of curved 
ascending nerves pubescent on both ; length 2'5 to 4 in., breadth 1*1 to 
1"4 in. ; petiole "6 to "75 in., slender, puberulous. Racemes from the 
branches below the leaves, rather shorter than the leaves, the rachis, 
flower-pedicels and outside of calyx softly and shortly pubescent. 
Flowers *3 in. in diam., their pedicels about '1 in., recurved, buds conical. 
Sepals slightly shorter than the petals, lanceolate, pubernloua within 
and 3-nerved. Petals cuneiform, slightly nerved, cut half-way down 
into numerous narrow lacini©, almost glabrous. Torus of 5 distinct, 
broad, shallow, fleshy, grooved, pale, velvety glands. Stamens 15, 
shorter than the petals, with short filaments ; the anthers scaberulous, 
cells equal, obtuse, the outer sometimes with 2 or 3 minute pale apical 
hairs. Ovary globose, 5-groored, 5-celled, sparsely pubescent. Style 
as long as the stamens, cylindric, faintly 5-grooved, glabreseenfc or gla- 
brous. Fruit globose, sometimes ovoid-globose, *75 to 1 in. in diam. : 
atone 5-celled, with fertile seeds m only 2 or 3 cells, ovoid, '7 in. long,

3. El^eocarpus stipulakis, Blume Bijdr. 121. A more or less 
rusty-pubescent tree 40 to 70 feet high : young munches thin, minutely 
tomentose. Leaves coriaceous, ovate to oblong-ovate, acute or acumin- 
ate : the edges usually entire, slightly recurved when dry, sometimes 
waved ; the base slightly cuneate, or sometimes rounded : upper sur- 
face at first pubernloua, ultimately glabrous, the midrib always pubes- 
cent: lower softly rusty -pubescent : main nerves 9 to 12 pairs, spread- 
ing, iuterarching close to the margin : length 36 to 6 5 in,, breadth 
1*75 to 2'5 in. ; petiole "5 to "75 in., minutely toraentose, not conspicu- 
ously thickened at the apex ; stipules halbert-shaped, tomentose, fuga- 
ceous. Eacemes axillary and from the axils of fallen leaves, usually 
shorter than, but sometimes as long as the leaves ; the rachises, pedicels
