586 CXI. VERBENACEE. (C. B. Clarke.) [ Vitex. 
A medium-sized tree (Maingay). Leaves (all the upper) 3-foliolate, a small leaflet 
rarely added ; leaflets 5 by 24 in., obtuse, tip usually less than 4 in., with scattered 
white glands above and yellow beneath, petiolule of the middle leaflet often 4 in. ; 
petiole 1-2 in., not winged. Panicles 8 by 5 in., terminal, penultimate sometimes 
added; cymes densely flowered clustered along the branches; bracts j in., linear, 
deciduous. Calyx minutely toothed at flower-time, much enlarged, j in. diam., 
roundly 5-lobed in fruit. Corolla 3-4 in. Drupe 3-4 in., apiculate.— This species 
differs from all the preceding by (inter alia) the large drupe. The inflorescence, 
calyx, corolla and drupe are so like those of V. sumatrana (Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. 
Suppl. 567), that it may be a var. of it; but in V. sumatrana the leaves are mostly 
5-foliolate and pubescent beneath. 
10. V. coriacea, Clarke; leaves 3-foliolate coriaceous glabrous, 
leaflets petioluled oblong entire, panicles terminal fulvous-pubescent, flowers 
clustered on the elongate branches, calyx jj in. 5-toothed. Vitex n. 13,

Matacca; Griffith (Kew Distrib. n. 6065), Maingay (Kew Distrib. n. 1203). 
Branchlets round, tips puberulous. Leaflets 4 by 1$ in., obtuse or acute, beneath 
minutely glandular and with thick elevated nerves, petiolule of the central leaflet 
4-} in. petiole 1-2 in., not winged. Panicles 6 by 3 in., strict, branches elongate 
ascending ; bracts à in. oblong, fulvous-pubescent, deciduous; cymes condensed 
almost to clusters. Calyx fulvous-pubescent, wide funnel-shaped, in flower con- 
spicuously 5-toothed; in fruit enlarged, cup-shaped, subtruncate. Corolla lin, 
fulvous-pubescent, as are the pistil and filaments. Drupe à by i in., teretely ellipsoid, 
very smooth. 
. 11. V. canescens, Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. 1873, ii. 101, and For. Fi. 
ii. 970; leaves 3-foliolate, leaflets petioluled ovate or elliptic entire young 
fulvous-villous, panicles compound fulvous-pubescent branches elongate 
pedicels whorled.

A tree, 20-30 ft., or a shrub (Griffith) ; innovations fulvous- or dusk y-pubescent. 
Leaves (upper alone seen) 3-foliolate, or (Kurz) 5-foliolate; leaflets 43 by 2 in. 
mature scabrid or glabrate fulvous-pubescent on the nerves; petiolule of the middle 
leaflet 4 in.; petiole 2 in., fulvous-pubescent, not winged. Panicles 12 by 6 in» 
with numerous elongate spreadiug branches; braets very small, deciduous ; pedicels 
died in. Calyx }, iu. pubescent, very shortly toothed. Corolla } in., fulvous-tomen- 
tose. Drupe i-i in. diam., globose, smooth.—Vitex canescens, Wall. Cat. 1757, 18 
not in Wallich’s Herbarium ; Kurz does not state whether he intended or guessed his 
own F. canescens to be the same as Wallich’s or no. 
12. V. Wimberleyi, Kurz For. Fl. ii. 271; leaves 5-3-foliolate gla- 
brous, leaflets petioluled elliptically oblong or lanceolate coarsely crenate- 
serrate, panicles terminal and penultimate puberulous. 
ANDAMAN ISLANDS; Kurz. i 
A small evergreen tree, much resembling V. sumatrana. Petioles 2-3 in. 
slender, glabrous. Flowers small, clustered or cymulose; bracts caducous, lower 
leaf-like, upper linear-oblong as long as the calyces. — Calyz } in., subtruncate, velvety. 
Corolla pubescent ; tube wide, short ; lobes obtuse, lowest much produced.—Not seen ; 
the foregoing is copied from Kurz. Imperfect specimens of a plant collected by me 
in the Chittagong Hills show similar coarsely crenate-serrate leaflets, but have the 
petioles winged ; it may be the young state of this species. 
13. V. simplicifolia, Clarke; leaves 1-foliolate coriaceous glabrous, 
leaflet lanceolate entire, panicles terminal branches elongate, calyx 4-4 1m- 
fulvous-hairy pedicelled. Vitex nn. 14 and 11, Herb. Ind. Or. H. f. 4 T.
