1. C. cana (hoary), Linn. Mant. 198, Benth. FI. Anstr. v. 56. A small shrub, 
the tomentum close and short, usually white, slightly floccose on the older 
branches. Leaves petiolate, ovate, very shortly acuminate ; bordered by rather 
broad more or less mucronate teeth, acutely narrowed at the base, 2 to Bin. long, 
glabrous above when full-grown except a slight tomentum on the principal 
veins, membranous when large, rather firmer and more rugose when small, 
white-tomentose underneath. Flowers small, in rather dense cymes, the common 
peduncle usually about as long as the petiole. Calyx about f line long, minutely 
4- or 5-toothed. Corolla glabrous, twice as long as the calyx. Stamens exserted ; 
anthers with small glands along the connectivum. Drupe depressed-globular, 
not above 1 line diameter, slightly succulent, the endocarp of 4 hard nuts. —

Hab.: Gulf of Carpentaria, R. Brown, Bowman; Edgecombe Bay and Port Denison, 
Dallachy ; Gilbert River, Daintree. 
The species extends over the Indian Archipelago to the Malayan Peninsula and the 
Philippine Islands. 
2. C. pedunculata (pedunculate), B. Br. Prod. 513 ; Bcntli. FI. Anstr. v.

with the point often rather long, rounded or scarcely contracted at the base, 
usually 3 or 4 in., soft green and velvety with scattered hairs above, more 
tomentose underneath but not very white. Cymes rather loose, the 
peduncle often shortly exceeding the petiole. Flowers of C. cana, 
the corolla purplish or lilac. Fruit usually much larger than in that species, the 
succulent drupes often at least 1£ line diameter, purple when fresh. — C. dentate, 
Roth ? in Wall. Cat. n. 6319, but probably not the true plant of Roth ; C. lanata, 
Schau. in DC. Prod. xi. 644, not of Lam. 
Hab.: Northumberland Islands, Broadsound and Shoalwater Bay, R. Brown ; Endeavour

Dallachy and others; Brisbane River, Moretou Bay, TP. Hill, F. v. Mueller and others, not at 
all uncommon. 
The species is also in the Archipelago. 
3. C. longifolia (leaves long), Lam. ex. Schau. in DC. Prod. xi. 645, hut not 
C. adenanthera, Br . ; Benth. FI. Anstr. v. 57. A shrub of several ft., the 
tomentum short, not so abundant as in most species and rarely whitish, although

lanceolate, acuminate with a long point, serrate, much narrowed at the base, 4 
to 6in. or even longer, membranous, green and nearly glabrous or sprinkled with 
very short hairs above, more copiously tomentose and glandular underneath but 
usually green or very slightly rusty or whitish. Flowers white, smaller than in 
the other species, in very loose repeatedly forked cymes, the common peduncle 
scarcely exceeding the petiole, but the branches elongated and slender. Calyx 
about | line long. Corolla about 1 line, pubescent outside. Fruit globular, white, 
about 1 line diameter. 
Hab.: Rockingham Bay, Dallachy, and other tropical localities. 
The species is widely spread over the Indian Archipelago, extending into India to Kbasia and 
East Bengal,
