A powerful scandent shrub; branchlets round, stout, soon glabrescent. Leaves 7 
by 23 in., narrowed downwards, but often shortly suddenly rounded at the very base, 
coriaceous, often rugose above from the strongly impressed nerves; petiole scarcely 
4 0. Cymes i in. diam., minutely closely rusty-tomentose. Berry not seen.— 
There is no specimen of this in Wallich's Herbarium. Miquel (Fl. Ind. Bat. ii. 1033) 
says that this plant is not E. glomerata, Blume Bijd. 1047; but from Blume's de- 
Scription it is either the same or very near it. 
2. RIVEA, Chois, 
Twining shrubs. Leaves ovate-cordate, silky or hirsute beneath, at least 
while young; petiole long.  Peduncles axillary, 1-3-fld.; bracts 2-3, narrow. 
Sepals ovate or oblong, subequal. Corolla large, white, tube long, cylindric ; 
limb wide-funnel-shaped, plaited. Stamens attached near the middle of the 
tube, included; anthers narrowly-oblong, obtuse, not finally twisting. Ovary 
4-celled, 4-ovuled; disc annular; style filiform, stigmas linear-oblong. Fruit
