Lxt. LYTHRACE^. (C B. Clarke.) [Lagerstiwmia. 



Malacca ; Mai7igay No. 653, 654. — Distrib. Celebes. • 



■ 'A moderate-sized tree {Maingay). Leaves 2-3 in., narrow elliptic-oblong, not acu- 

 minate, oblique, twisted at the apex, minutely ashy-puberulous beneath ; petiole ^ in, 

 Pa7iicle 4-6 in. ; branches stout, ashy- or grey-puberuloTis. Calycc in the bud funnel- 

 shaped not campanulate, smaller than that of L. Flos-BegiiKe. Fetch ^-| in., flat, 

 shortly clawed, sparingly erose-undulate on the margin. Fruit -g by | in., calyx- 

 IHngs slightly enlarged on the fruit. — The specimens of Maingay are very perfect but 

 are identified with Miquel's plant from his description only. 



ft Adult leaves pubescent beneath.

11. Zi. villosa, Wall, ex Kurz Pegu For. Report Apjyend, B. 54; leaves 

 lanceolate acuminate pubescent on both surfaces, flowers small apetalous con- 

 gested at the siunmits of the panicle-branches, calyx-ribs 6 obscure in the 

 bud. Kurz For. FL i. 624.

Tree 40-50 ft. (Kurz) ; branchlets panicles and leaves ashy-grey, pubescent 

 Leaves 2-3 in., finely acuminate, narrowed to the very short petiole. Biids very small, 

 calyx-tube smooth, ribs only to be seen near the summit of the tube as six horns 

 alternating with the primary calyx-teeth. Capsvle |-f by \ in., the calyx-tube finally 

 distinctly ribbed, — The name villosa is not in Wallich's Catalogue nor does it exist 

 on any specimen at Kew, so that it cannot be guessed where Mr. Kurz found it : but 

 the species is very good and unmistakable.

Tree 70-100 ft. {Kurz); branchlets petioles and panicle fulvous stellate-woolly 

 tomentose. Leaves 3-6 in., elliptic-lanceolate to narrow-lanceolate, adult glabrous 

 reticulate above except the midrib which is fulvous stellate-tomentose ; petiole g } 

 in. Calyx in the bud fulvous, tomentose, with 12 blunt ribs to the base. Petals i\^'y 

 finely clawed, erose, subfimbriate on the margin. Capsule | by | in., calyx-tube ul- 

 timately 6-ribbed (ribs corresponding to the primary teeth becoming obsolete) ; teetn 

 triangular, reflexed.— In fruit the capsule and calyx become exactly like those oi 

 X. villosa and when the condensed panicle of L. villosa opens out in fruit, the tw 

 species are easily confounded. One sheet of Wall. Cat. 2112 marked L- F^^^^^^'^y] 

 really i. villosa, but all the other sheets of Wall. Cat, 2112 are true. Among otne 

 tests, the leaves of L, pubescens are stellately hairy beneath, those of L. villosa ^r 

 simply pubescent.
