(15) C. enervis Hook. fit. F.B.I. v. 119; Gamble, l.c. 50. 
Leaves thin coriaceous, elliptic-lanceolate, caudate-acuminate, 
base narrow; nerves 6 to 8 pairs ascending obscurely glaucescent 
beneath; 3 in. long, 1*2 in. wide; petioles *2 in. long. Panicles 
slender, axillary shorter than leaves. Fruit globose mammillate, 
faintly sulcate, *4 in. through. Hab. Malacca, Alor Gajah (Griffith). 
A very doubtful plant. The leaves are not like those of a Cryptoearya, 
the nervules and reticulations being invisible.
