(Goodenough). Perak, Larut (Kunstler); Gunong Keledang. 
Distrib. Java. Native names: Akar Pah Kudah; Akar Tugor 
Pontianak. 
(8) C. Griffithii Hook. fit. F.B.I. i. 571; King, l.c. 82. C. setosa 
King, Journ. As. Soc. Beng. lxv. 515. 
Slender shrub with bristly stems. Leaves membranous oblong- 
lanceolate acuminate, base cordate, above glabrous, midrib bristly, 
edges and nerves beneath bristly; nerves 9 to it pairs elevate 
beneath, 4 to 7 in. long, 1 to 2 in. wide. Cymes -4 in. long compact 
at first globose, bristly. Flowers campanulate white -25 in. across. 
Sepals ovate densely silky outside, pubescent inside. Petals 
glabrous obovate bifid as long as and broader than sepals. Stamens 
as long. Ovary ovoid silky. Fruit pyriform, densely hairy, 1*5 in. 
long, 75 in. wide. Hab. Forests, not rare. Malacca, Chabau 
(Griffith). Negri Sembilan, Gunong Angsi. Selangor, Batu Caves; 
Batang Berjuntai (Ridley). Perak, Goping (Kunstler); Ulu 
Bubong (Kunstler). Native names: Akar Putih Angin; Kerutot; 
Akar Putih Kambing. 
By some mistake King gives this as a climber 15 to 20 ft. long. It is 
quite a small erect shrub. The C. setosa King of Ulu Bubong seems to me 
to be a form with stifier and rather more hairy leaves. 
Order XXXVII. OLACINE^. 
Trees and shrubs, sometimes climbing. Leaves alternate rarely 
opposite simple exstipulate. Inflorescence cymose or racemose 
terminal or axillary. Flowers regular bi- or uni-sexual. Calyx 
small 4- or 5-toothed free or adherent to fruit. Petals 3 to 6 val- 
vate or imbricate. Stamens 3 to 15 inserted with the petals; 
anthers 2-celled dehiscing longitudinally. Disc hypogynous, cup¬ 
shaped or none. Ovary free, 1- or imperfectly 2- to 5-celled; 
style simple or o. Stigma 1 or rarely 2. Ovules 1 to 5 pendulous 
from a minute free central placenta or from side or apex of the 
ovarian cavity. Fruit drupaceous or dry indehiscent, 1- rarely 
2-celled and seeded. Seed pendulous. Albumen fleshy. Species 
about 200, tropics of both hemispheres. 
I exclude the section Opiliece (i Cansjera and Lepionums) referred 
to the neighbourhood of Santalacece. The rest of the order really 
consists of an assemblage of plants characterised mainly by the 
pendulous ovule. It is usual now to keep the Icacinece as a separate 
order. I have, to save space, kept all the sections under Olacinece 
except Cardiopteridece, which is put under Gamopetalce near Con- 
volvulaceee. Bracea, King is Sarcosperma (Sapotacece). (King, 
Journ. As. Soc. Beng. lxiv. 94.)
