200 ON SOUTH-AMERICAN APOCYNACEA. 
cordate, acute, entire, submembranaceous, green and subglabrous above, bearing near the 
base of the midrib several successive subulate glabrous glands, beneath softly hirto- 
pubescent, 20-21 lines long, 12 lines broad, on channelled pubescent petioles 3 lines 
long; raceme lateral, pubescent, 13 in. long, bearing about 6 flowers 9-10 lines long, on 
bracteolate pedicels 3 lines long; bracts pilose, lanceolate, 2 lines long; sepals lanceolate, 
pubescent, imbricate, spreading, with acute inner scales ; corolla cylindrical ; tube 6 lines 
long, swelling upwards; segments roundish, dolabriform, crispate, rotate, shorter than the 
tube; stamens seated in the constriction near the middle of the tube; anthers coherent, 
lanceolate; disk of 5 short truncate lobes, shorter than the 2 oblong ovaries.

A scandent species, with hirsute terete branches, marked with many white lenticels ; 
axils charged with many depressed, ciliated, dentiform glands in the usual place of 
stipules; leaves roundly ovate, cordate, shortly acuminate, submembranaceous, above 
green, sparsely pilose, with parallel nerves and much reticulated veins, bearing about 4 
subulate glabrous glands in succession near the base of the midrib, canescently hirto- 
pubescent beneath, 3-3} in. long, 2-21 in. broad, on channelled hirto-canescent petioles 
8-9 lines long; raceme lateral, on a hairy peduncle 1} in. long, bearing a capitate head 
of closely aggregated, small, odoriferous flowers, on pilose pedicels 3-4 lines long, with 
lanceolate bracts; sepals linear-lanceolate, hairy outside, half the length of the tube of 
the corolla ; corolla white, size of that of jessamine ; tube cylindrical, rugosely contracted 
above the base, pubescent within; segments unequally oblong, obtuse, crispate on the 
margins, a little longer than the tube, subreflexed; stamens inserted on a pilose ring 
above the base of the tube; anthers cohering, lanceolately acuminate, obtusely bilobed 
at the base; disk of 5 short lobes, as long as the 2 oblong glabrous ovaries.

A slender species, with elongated glabrous branchlets, having remote axils, charged 
with many short, irregular, smooth, tooth-like glands; opposite leaves ovate-oblong, 
rounded or obsoletely cordate, acuminate, glabrous, rigidly membranaceous, with revolute 
margins, shining above, with subparallel nerves and reticulated veins, the nerves beneath 
prominulent, 3 in. long, 15-17 lines broad, on channelled petioles 2-8 lines long, bearing 
at their junction with the blade 2 subulate glabrous glands; raceme lateral, 14 in 
long, on a peduncle divided at its apex into two branches, each bearing many policia 
late flowers; sepals ovate, acuminate, imbricate, glabrous, six times shorter than the 
tube of the corolla, which is salver-shaped; tube cylindrical and constricted in the 
middle ; stamens seated on a pilose ring at the constriction of the tube; anthers acumi- 
nate, obtusely 2-lobed at the base, and cohering round the clavuncle.
