length 5 to 7 in., breadth 2 to 3 in., the terminal one a third larger 
and with more nerves; petiolules '75 in., that of the terminal leaflet 
2 in. Panicles several from an axil, 4 to 6 in. long, pubescent, the 
branclilets short and slender with the flowers crowded near their apices. 
Flowers '15 in. long, on short puberulous pedicels. Calyx-teeth 5 or 6, 
elongate, ovate or lanceolate, puberulous. Petals 5, longer than the 
calyx, elliptic-obtuse, erect, puberulous. Stamens 10, distinct, inserted 
outside the disc, shorter than the petals ; the filaments flattened, but 
not quite so broad as the ovate anthers, sparsely villous. Pise annular, 
cushion-like, entire, glabrous, surrounding the ovoid-conic, villous, 
ovary. Style cylindric, thickened upwards, glabrous ; stigma discoid. 
Unripe fruit (fide Kurz) “oblong, acuminate, greyish-velvetty.” Kurz

This has been collected only by Kurz and 1 have never seen its 
fruit. I believe Kurz’s species C. oxycarpa is merely a small-leaved 
form of this. Kurz distinguishes it from this by its thinner leaves 
and fainter venation,—characters of little value, I fear. 
5. Walsura robusta, Roxb. Hort. Beng. 32: FI. Ind. II, 386. A 
tree 40 to 60 feet high ; young branches slender, lenticellate, glabrous. 
Leaves 7 to 12 in. long. Leaflets 3 to 5, sub-coriaceous, ovate-oblong to 
ovate, entire, bluntly acuminate, the base narrowed; both surfaces 
glabrous, the upper shining, the lower dull with the 6 or 7 pairs of 
curving nerves rather prominent; length 3 to 5 in., breadth 175 to 225 
in. ; petiolules about '5 in., that of the terminal leaflet 1*5 in. Panicles 
dense, many-flowered, shorter than the leaves, cinereous-puberulous j 
bracts (if any) deciduous. Flower-buds hemispheric, tomentose, sub- 
sessile. Petals '2 in. long (larger than the sepals). Stamens 1 0; the 
filaments flattened, lanceolate, puberulous, free from each other, inserted 
outside the broad, thin, sub-concave, pubescent disk. Ovary depressed- 
globose, crowned by the thick style, 2-celled, with 2 ovules in each cell; 
stigma discoid with a central mammilla. Fruit elliptic or globular, *75 
in. in diam., when dry capsular, 2-celled, but one of the cells empty. 
Seed pendulous, testa membranous, albumen 0; the cotyledons fleshy, 
plano-convex; the radicle short, superior. Hiern in Hook. fil. FI. Br.
