axillary, shorter than the petioles, the rachises pedicels and outside of 
sepals Boftly rufous-toruentose. Flowers "25 in. in diam. ; their pedicels 
about "25 in. long, recurved. Sepals 4, ovate, acute; inside pnberulous 
\-rith infolded tometitose edges, the midrib thickened. Petals 4, very 
little longer than the sepals, oblong, slightly obovate, obtuse, shortly 
8- to 10-toothed, villous outside, glabreRcenL inside, the edges villous. 
Torus a shallow rufous-villous cup. Stamens about 12, shorter than the 
petals, scaberulous, the filaments ahont half as long as the anthers ; 
anther-cells slightly unequal, pointed, the longer sometimes with, but 
usually without, a minute tuft of white hair. Ovary (absont in most 
flowers} ovoid-oblong, ghibrous, imperfectly 2-celled, one cell only 
perfect. Fruit ovoid, tapering at each end, smooth, shining; pulp thin, 
slightly fibrous : stone sharply rugnlose, crustaceous, 1-celled. 1-seeded.

This species approaches E. glahrescens, Mast, but is larger in all 
its parts and much more persistently tomentose. This is unrepresented 
by any Wallichkn specimen at Kew, and is therefore referred to by 
Masters in the Flora of Brit. India only in a note (i. 409). 
21. Ei^oCARpns glabrescevs, Mast, in Hook, fib PI, Br. Ind. i. 
40!3. A tree : young branches and petioles densely rufous-tomentose. 
Leaves coriaceous, ovate to ovate-lanceolate, acuminate; edges entire, 
slightly rev ol ute : base rounded or slightly narrowed ; upper sin Tru e 
glabrous, the midrib pubescent ; lower surface at first rufous-pubescent 
ultimately glabrescent or glabrous, the reticulations minute but distinct : 
main nerves 5 or 6 pairs, prominent beneath, spreading, curved : length 
2*5 to 3*5 in., breadth 1*2 to 1*6 in.; petiole l"2b to 1'75 in., slightly 
thickened at tha apex, grabrescent when old. Racemes rather longer 
than the petioles, axillary ami from the axils of fallen leaves ; rachises 
and pedicels sparsely pubescent. Flowers '25 in. in diam., the pedicels 
about *2 in. long, recurved. Sepals 4, sub-erect, ovate-lanceolate, thiek- 
ened at the base, pubescent outside, glabrescent inside with puberuloua 
edges, the midrib thickened. Petals 4, slightly longer than the sepals, 
oblong, the apex obtuse and with 6 to 12 short unequal teeth : pnbescent 
outside, glabrescent inside, the edges shortly villous. Torus a very 
shallow villous cup. Stamens 10 or 12, shorter than the petals r filaments 
short: anthers scaberulous, the cells slightly unequal, slightly pointed, 
usually without small apical tufts of minute hair. Ovary (absent in 
many flowers) ovoid, glabrous, 1-celled. Style short, conic, glabrous. 
Fruit {fide Masters) the size of a cherry, 1-celled, 1-seeded.
