' A small bright green shrub, about. 6 ft. high. Leaves shining, green, retaining thfir 

 colour when dry, narrowed into the short petiole, serratures obtuse ; nerves very obscure 

 beneath. Flowers about ^ in. diam., white ; cymes of 6 of usually 3 flowers on a pe- 

 duncle J- J in. long ; pedicels slender ; $ pedicels J in., lengthening and thickening la 

 fruit. Calyx with 4 orbicular lobes. Petals broadly oblong, obtuse, connate^ at tne 

 base in both sexes. Stamens em long as the petals, inserted on the corolla m bot 

 sexes. Drupe like ihii of L GriffitUi, but smaller, purple; stigma sessile, 4-lobea. 

 This was first gathered by Wallich at Moflong in 1835, when on the tea-deputatiou to 

 Assam. Very near, indeed, to /. Horsfieldii, Miq., of Java, but the leaves are obovaie , 

 both have leaves of similar texture aud serrature, and gland-dotted beneath. :^ ^ y
