CLITANDRA cyMuLosa, Benth. 
The specimens are only in fruit, but agree with this species so 
far as leaf, branch, and inflorescence go. I do not feel quite sure

so much resemble each other in habit and foliage. 
Fruits oblong, 2°5 em. long; pedicels 3 mm.

A shrub or small tree, 8-5 m. high, with very variable 
foliage ; the leaves are either sessile and semi-amplexicaul or more 
or less distinctly petioled, the petiole attaining 1-15 em., rarely 
more; the lamina varies from 6-25 em. in length and from 4°5— 
12 cm. in breadth and in all shapes between ovate and obverse- 
lanceolate, but generally it is obovate ; the base is always 
narrowed, and more often cuneate than abruptly contracted ; 
the apex varies from shortly acuminate to acute and obtuse ; 
the leaves are membranous, glabrous above and beneath or more 
or less softly puberulous beneath, particularly on the midrib; 
the lateral nerves number about 11 on each side, and they stand 
closer or farther apart according to the length of the leat ; they 
Tise at an angle of 50-60° and are strongly arched in their outer
