568 CXI. VERBENACEX. (C. B. Clarke.) [ Callicarpa. 
4-8 in., base cuneate rounded or subcordate; tomentum beneath of stalked hairs 
often with several whorls of secondary hairs, usually dense, in a few examples from 
Cochin thin but of similar structure. Calyx at flower-time stellately hairy.—Other- 
wise much resembling C. arborea and Hookeri. 'The leaves vary from subcordate 
orbicular cuspidate to oblong and acuminate at both ends. The nature of the hairs 
appears absolutely constant. C. lanata, Griff. Notul.iv. 173, and Ic. Pl. Asiat. t. 447 .

Throughout N. and E. INDIA, ascending to 6000 ft. in the W. Himalaya; from 
Kashmir to Assam and Pegu ; abundant in Bengal Plain. ? DECCAN PENINSULA. 
A shrub, 3-8 ft. ; trunk hardly any, branches wand-like, usually shaggy as well as 
tomentose at the tips. Leaves 4—7 in., acuminate, base rounded or cuneate, mature 
glabrate above, tomentose with compound stellate hairs beneath; petiole ]-3 in. 
Peduncles usually shorter than the petioles; cymes 1-3 in. diam., globose. Calyx 
scarcely jj in. long, stellately hairy at flower-time, lobes small triangular or hardly 
any. -Anthers small, ovate.— There is only one example of this from the Deccan, 
marked as communicated by W. Barclay from Malabar. From Wight and Beddome's 
silence it may be doubted if it is wild there. Rheede Hort. Mal. 4, t. 60, usually 
quoted as C. macrophylla, looks as like C. lanata, but may not be a Callicarpa at 
all. Wail. Cat. 1833 type sheet is the true C. Roxburghii (Schauer l. c. 640), a non- 
Indian plant. The typical C. macrophylla, Vahl, has ovate leaves, somewhat obtuse 
at base, thickly white-tomentose beneath, This is common in and near the hills. 
Roxburgh's C. incana is the less showy form, common in Bengal Plain (as he truly 
says), with the leaf-base often cuneate. 
VAR. Griffithii ; much branched, leaves smaller fuscous-woolly obscurely stellate 
beneath ultimately glabrate.— Bhotan ; Griffith (Kew Distrib. n. 6041). — Differs a 
good deal in habit trom C. macrophylla, but connected by E. Nepal specimens collected 
by Sir J. D. H. 
VAR. sinensis; leaves oblong-lanceolate closely denticulate, peduncles longer than the 
petioles, anthers oblong larger.—Canara ; Gibson. Calcutta; cult. Distrib. China.— 
Branches upwards dense with leaves. Teeth of the leaves with minute black glandular 
points. Calyx in flower stellately tomentose, soon nearly glabrate; teeth triangular, 
in fruit sometimes longer than the tube. Probably a cultivated plant: it seems 3$ 
near to C. Reevesii as to C. macrophylla. 
6. C. Reevesii, Wall. Cat. 1830; shrubby, leaves elliptic-lanceolate 
closely crenate mature glabrate above densely stellate-tomentose beneath, 
peduncles longer than the petioles, cymes somewhat lax stellately tomentose, 
calyx at flower-time nearly glabrous. Schauer in DC. Prodr. xi. 641;

May be a cultivated plant; it is very near C. macrophylla. The leaves are very 
handsome, dark above, 
e, white tomentose beneath; the anthers are nearly as of 
C. macrophylla var. sinensis. 
7. C. cana, Linn. Mant. 198; shrubby, leaves broadly elliptic shortly 
acuminate at both ends Sharply crenate-serrate mature glabrate above 
densely stellate-tomentose beneath, peduncles very short, calyx in fruit 
stellate-tomentose. Vahl Symb. ii. 12; Roxb. Fl. Ind. i. 392; Wall. Cat.
