88 XCVI. LOGANIACEX. (C. B. Clarke.) [Strychnos. 
large, many-seeded. S. colubrina, Blume Rumph. i. 70 ; A. DC. Prodr. ix. 14, 
not of Linn. nor Wall.— Rheede Hort. Mal. viii. t. 24. 
MALABAR ; Rheede. 
Tendrils present ; branches stout. Leaves 34 by 11 in., base obtuse or rounded ; 
petiole 4-4 in. Peduncles } in., axillary, 3-4-flowered ; pedicels 4-3 in. Berry 24 
in. diam., globose. Seeds 1 in. diam., circular, discoid.—Only known from Rheede's 
figure, which may be incorrect as to the flowers. It appears from Roxb. Fl. Ind. ed. 
Carey & Wall. ii. 264, and from Beddome, that there probably exists a stout scandent 
species in Malabar with fruit like S. Nuz-vomica. (See 16, S. cinnamomifolia.) 
8. S. Maingayi, Clarke ; leaves elliptic acute 3-nerved glabrous, cymes 
large dense very many-fld., corolla-lobes 5 linear-oblong 5 times as long as the 
tube, ovary hairy upwards. 
Mazacca, Maingay (Kew Distrib. nn. 1041, 1042). 
Branches glabrous ; tendrils 0 (in the examples). Leaves 41 by 2 in., base obtuse; 
petiole } in. Cymes 4 in., divided from the base, nearly glabrous 100-300-flowered. 
Calyx glabrous, margin obscurely pubescent. Corolla 4 in., throat villous, tube hardly 
any. Filaments linear; anther-cells ovate, hairy. Style twice as long as the ovary. 
Berry not seen. 
Var. ? fructuosa; bearing tendrils, berry 2} in. diam. globose, rind thick, seeds 
many 3 by j in. oblong-ellipsoid, testa silky, albumen horny, embryo small.— Penang ; 
Maingay (Kew Distrib. n. 1038). This may be the fruiting state of S. Maingay, 
or of some totally different species. The seeds closely resemble those of S. /gnatit. 
Bergius (Bentl. § Trim. Medic. Pl. t. 179). 
** Corolla-tube longer than the calyx, not much longer than its lobes. 
9. S. laurina, Wall. Cat. 1591; leaves lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate 
3-nerved glabrous, cymes large compound fulvous-pubescént, ovary hairy 
upwards, berry 1 in. diam. globose 1-2-seeded. A. DC. Prodr. ix. 13; Benth. 
in Journ. Linn. Soc. i. 102; Kurz For. Fl. ii. 166. S. ovatifolia, Wall. Cat. 
1592; A. DC. l.c. ; Benth, l. c. 103. 
Cacuan; Keenan. Prou and Txnasserm to SiwcaPoRE, common; Wallich, 
Griffith, &c.—DisrRIs. Burma, Malaya. 
Tendrils often in pairs; branchlets glabrous. Leaves 5 by 2 in., lanceolate, oF 
in S. ovatifolia, Wall. 5 by 21 in. and ovate-lanceolate, 3- or sub-5-nerved ; petiole 
lin. Cymes 2-5 in., axillary and terminal, sessile (or in S. ovatifolia peduncled) ; 
pedicels 0-4; in. Calyx glabrous, or margin obscurely pubescent. Corolla à in. 
villous within; tube rather longer than the lobes. Anther-cells oblong, slightly hairy. 
Style much longer than the ovary, hairy downwards.—There are no tendrils on 
Wallich’s example of S. ovatifolia, which Mr. Bentham considers, though imperfect, 
to indicate a distinct species. 
10. S. septemnervis, Clarke ; leaves elliptic acute 5-7-nerved glabrous, 
cymes stout large fulvous-pubescent, ovary hairy, berry l in. diam. globose 
1-seeded. 
Maracca; Maingay (Kew Distrib. n. 1036). 
Scandent, Maingay. Leaves 4 by 2} in.; petiole lin. Cymes 2-5 in., sessile, 
very many-fid. Calyx puberulous. Corolla } in., villous within; tube about as long 
as the lobes. Anther-cells oblong, hairy. Style longer than the ovary, hairy down- 
wards.— Perhaps only a large-flowered variety of S. laurina, but the nervation of 
the leaves differs considerably. 
11. S. Beddomei, Clarke; leaves elliptic acute 3-nerved glabrous, cymes 
small fulvous-pubescent, ovary hairy, berry } in. diam. globose 1-2-seeded. S.
