which it represents as too broad and with too many fimbrim : other- 
wise it is an equally exact representation of the Indian plant described by

2. Eljiocaepus parvifolius, Wall. Cat, 2662 A & B. A tree 30 
to 50 feet high : young branches at first minutely pubescent, ultimately 
glabrous greyish-brown and minutely lenticellate. Leaves membranous, 
ovate-oblong, rather bluntly acuminate, serrulate, the base cuneate : 
upper surface shining, glabrous ; the lower dull of chocolate brown 
colour, glabrous or glabrescent, the midrib and 5 or 6 pairs of curved 
ascending nerves pubescent on both; length 2'5 to 4 in., breadth l'l to 
1'4 in.; petiole '6 to '75 in., slender, puberulons. 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, pnberulous within 
and 3-nerved. Petals cuneiform, slightly nerved, cut half-way down 
into numerous narrow lacinia3, 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-groovod, 5-celled, sparsely pubescent. Style 
as long as the stamens, cylindric, faintly 5-grooved, glabrescent or gla- 
brous. Fruit globose, sometimes ovoid-globose, '75 to 1 in. in diam. : 
stone 5-celled, with fertile seeds in only 2 or 3 cells, ovoid, '7 in. long, 
bluntly rugose, and with 5 very faint grooves from base to apex. 0.

3. Eljiocarpus stipularis, Blume Bijdr. 121. A more or less 
rusty-pubescent tree 40 to 70 feet high : young branches 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 puberulous, ultimately glabrous, the midrib always pubes- 
cent: lower softly rusty-pubescent : main nerves 9 to 12 pairs, spread- 
ing, interarching close to the margin: length 3'6 to 6'5 in., breadth 
1'75 to 2'5 in. ; petiole '5 to '75 in., minutely tomentose, not conspicu- 
ously thickened at the apex ; stipules halbert-shaped, tomentose, fuga- 
ceous. Racemes axillary and from the axils of fallen leaves, usually 
shorter than, but sometimes as long as the leaves ; the raebises, pedicels
