19. ZE. chiritoides, C/arke; branches slender, leaves opposite and 
ternate small broad-lanceolate hairy, flowers 1-3 together terminal, corolla 
1i in. straight, lobes short subequal: 
BHOTAN ; Nuttall. Assam; Griffith. ? Kwasta Mrs., alt. 4000 ft., H. f. & T. 
Stems and leaves closely resembling those of ZE. gracilis, but the leaves are not 
rarely ternate. — Pedicels ty-% in., villous. Sepals 3-4 in., linear, villous. Corolla 
narrow-tubular below, suddenly expanding into a tubular upper portion 3 in diam., 
minutely pilose; lobes } in., round-ovate, black-marked. Filaments included, 
glabrous. Ovary villous.—A most remarkable species, the corolla, both in shape and 
texture, resembling a Chirita, The example of H. f. & T. shows leaves only, sothat it 
cannot be confidently referred anywhere. 
13. ZE. levipes, Clarke; branches very slender, leaves small opposite 
and ternate, narrow-lanceolate hairy, flowers solitary terminal, pedicels 
smooth, corolla 11 in. 
UPPER Assam ; Mishmee, on Mt. Laim-planj, Griffith (Kew Distrib, n. 3815). 
Somewhat densely clothed with white or greyish hair on every part except the 
pedicels. Branches elongate, sparingly rooting. Leaves 4 by $in., subsessile. Pedi- 
cels žin., glabrous even when young. Sepals l in., linear, flat, thinly herbaceous, 
sparsely villous. Corolla (imperfectly preserved) appears nearly as of Æ. chiritoides, 
but narrower. 
14. Æ. Mannii, Kurz ms.; branches somewhat thick pubescent up- 
wards, leaves small elliptic early glabrate, pedicels axillary subsolitary, 
corolla } in. narrow, mouth subequal.—Cyrtandracea, Griff. Je. Pl. Ind. Or. 
t. 429, fig. 2, and Wotul. iv. 159. 
Knuasra Mrs.; Mann. S.E. Assam; Patkoye Mts, Griffith (Kew Distrib. 
n. 3816). 
Stem short ; branches several, 2-10 in., undivided, terete, soon glabrate. Leaves 
densely approximated, 14 by 4 in., subobtuse at bot ends, coriaceous, young hairy, 
mature dotted; midrib prominent beneath; petiole Àj in. Pedicels 0-1 in., villous. 
Sepals Y in. villous. Corolla narrowly tubular-funnel-shaped, curved upwards, 
pubescent; without; lobes 4-1 in. diam., roundish, black-marked. Filaments far ex- 
serted, glandular-hairy.—Allied to Æ. Andersoni (Clarke Comm. & Cyrt. Beng. t. 48, 
upper fig.), which has hairy leaves attenuated to the petiole: as to the inflorescence, 
the pedicels of Æ. Mannii are often approximated towards the ends of the branches, 
but they are shorter than those of Æ. Andersoni. 
15. EE. Masoniz, Kurz. ms.; branches somewhat thick pubescent 
upwards, leaves small elliptic base rounded glabrous, pedicels axillary sub- 
solitary, corolla 4 in. slender, mouth narrow subequal. 
Pxcv; hills of the Red Karens, Mrs. Mason. . . 
Branches several, 5-10 in., undivided, terete, early glabrate. Leaves (in the soli- 
tary example) subsessile, ternate, 2-1 by 4 in., cuneate, widest near the base ; midri 
prominent beneath, Corolla pubescent without; mouth scarcely j in. diam. 
Very nearly allied to Æ. Mannii; the shape of the leaves is different, and the corolla 
considerably smaller. 
** Calyx-lobes wide, obtuse, or large (bracts prominent). 
16. Æ. acuminata, Wall. Cat. 6397 ; glabrous, leaves largeish elliptic 
acuminate, peduncles subfasciculate l- or few-fld., calyx deeply divided, 
lobes § in. round, corolla 4 in. yellow-green. A. DC. Prodr. ix. 263 i M e
