Leaves 8 by 3} in., nearly glabrous, narrowed at the base ; nerves 10 pair; petiole 
3-3 in. Cymes scarcely 3 in., appearing sessile on weak axillary spurs, pubescent. Other- 
wise as C. decurrens, from which it differs in the petioled, much less-nerved leaves.

Branch terete, shortly fulvous-pubescent. Leaves 6 by 2 in., both ends much 
acuminate, serrate, minutely pubescent; nerves 9 pair; petiole $ in. Corolla 21 in. 
Capsule (and fruit-calyx) as of C. decurrens, not perfectly ripe, so that it is not 
certain whether it opens by valves. 
XXII. STAURANTHERA, Benth. 
Low, succulent, pubescent herbs. Leaves alternate, or opposite one of 
each pair reduced to a small auricle, falcate, elliptic, acuminate, very 
unequal-sided. Cymes peduncled, lax, subracemose ; bracts small. Calyx 
wide-campanulate; lobes 5, wide-spreading, subplicate. Corolla campanu- 
late, spurred or gibbous at the base, somewhat 2-lipped ; lobes 5, subequal. 
Stamens 4 perfect, filaments short; anthers 2-celled, cohering crosswise into 
a depressed cone; cells diverging at the base, dehiscing on the inner face by 
slits ultimately confluent at the apex. Disc 0. Ovary sessile, subglobose ; 
style short, stigma broad, margin sublobed; placentz deeply inflexed, bifid, 
branches lobed, bearing ovules on both sides. Capsule epressed-globose, 
overtopped by the calyx, papery, transversely or irregularly breaking up. 
Seeds minute, obovoid, smooth; testa reticulated, cells often spiral.—Species 
4, from Assam and Chittagong to Java and Celebes.
