Tendrils present; branchlets glabrous or nearly so. Leaves 4 by 2 in., base 
obtuse; petiole } in. Peduncles 4-2 in.; cymes 1-2 in. diam., puberulous ; pedicels 
hardly any. — Corolla-tube 4 in., lobes less than } in. glabrous, a few hairs lower down 
the tube. Anther-cells oblong, glabrous. Ovary glabrous ; style very long, glabrous; 
stigma large, capitate.—Altogether resembles S. Nuz-vomica, but is scandent with 
tendrils. Though Rheede (Hort. Mal. viii. t. 24) represents the peduncles lateral 
and the buds subglobose, it may be suspected that Wallich and Wight were right in 
identifying that picture with their S. colubrina. If so S. Rheedei (n. 7 above) be- 
comes a synonym of the present species,

Tendrils often in pairs. Leaves 51 by 14 in., parallel-sided, base broadly cuneate, 
3 nerves very strong, 2 additional sometimes close to the margin very slender ; secon- 
dary nerves very prominent, numerous, subparallel, nearly at right angles to the 
primary; petiole } in. Cymes and flowers as in S. Nuz-vomica or S. cinnamomifolia. 
Corolla very villous in the throat. Anther-cedls broadly oblong, obtuse. Style exsert 
stigma small. Berry unknown.— Wallich’s n. 1590 includes this and S. Nux-vomica, 
whence Steudel's name S. Wallichiana applies to both; A. DC.’s S. Wallichiana 
(Prodr. ix. 13), from the ovate leaves and naked corolla-throat, seems described 
from one of Wallich's examples of S. lucida which have been since referred by 
Bentham to S, Nux-vomica. The broader shorter leaved specimens of this species, 
mentioned by Bentham, are those collected by H. f. & T. at the base of the Khasia 
Hills, without flower or fruit, and in which the lower leaves are ovate; they look 
like first year's shoots.

different-looking leaves.
