1. EL2E0CARPUS Ganitrus, Roxb. Hort. Beng. 42 : FI. Ind. iii. 592. 
A tree 30 to 60 feet high : branchlets with dark bark, cinereously pu- 
berulons when quite young. Leaves membranous, lanceolate, acute at 
base and apex, obscurely serrulate, glabrescent or glabrous: main 
nerves 10 to 12 pairs, spreading, slender : length 3'5 to 5'5 in., breadth 
1'25 to 2'25 in., petiole - 3 to '5 in. Racemes from the branches below 
the leaves, drooping, shorter than the leaves, crowded, many-flowered. 
Flowers '35 in. long, narrow and pointed in bud ; their pedicels rather 
longer, puberulous. Sepals lanceolate, shorter than the petals, puberu- 
lous outside, glabrescent inside. Petals obovoid, the base thickened, 
rounded and puberulous at the edge ; the limb glabrous, laciniate for 
more than half its length. Torus short, fleshy, wrinkled, pubescent. 
Anthers about 30 to 35, sessile, slightly pubescent or glabrous ; the 
cells slightly unequal, the longer with 1 (or sometimes 2) short white 
terminal hairs. Ovary ovoid-conic, with deep vertical grooves, minute- 
ly tomentose, 5-celled, each cell with about 4 ovules. Style much 
longer than the ovary, thin, fluted, puberulous or glabrescent, thickened 
towards the base. Fruit spherical, -75 to '9 in. in diam., glabrous, 
bluish-purple ; the stone vertically 5-grooved, tubercled, 5-celled, often 
only one cell containing a ripe seed. Mast, in Hook. fil. FI. Br. Ind.

I have dissected flowers of the type specimen (Maingay No. 263) of 
F, cyanocarpa, Maingay, and I can find no difference in them fi*om those 
of the type sheets of F. Ganitrus in Wall. Cat. Roxburgh’s original 
drawing of F. Ganitrus in Herb. Calc, is wrong as regards the petals,
