30 LXXV. RUBIACEX. (J. D. Hooker.) [ Uncaria. 
veins very slender. Pedwncles 4-1 in. Fruiting heads 3-4 in. diam. Capsules 
%-1 in., on pedicels as long or longer, crowned with a very small almost cupular 
ealyx-limb.— Bornean specimens have silky corollas. 
7. U. sessilifructus, Roxb. FI. Ind. i. 520; branches slender 4-angled 
glabrous, leaves elliptie obtuse or obtusely acuminate shining above glabrous 
and rather glaucous beneath, nerves 5 pair, peduncles axillary and in terminal 
panicles bracteate in the middle, corolla-tubes glabrous lobes silky or glabrous, 
capsules sessile. Wall. Cat. 6109 ; Kurz For, Fl. ii. 71. Nauclea scandens, 
Roxb. mss. Ic. pict. No. 1218. 
Eastern Bengal, from Srxxiw and the Kasra Mts. to CurrracoNG, Prov, and 
TENASSERIM. 
Branches rather acutely angled, Leaves very uniform, pale-coloured, 4-4} by 
2-24 in., coriaceous, smooth on both surfaces, tip sometimes produced; nerves often 
with tufts of hairs in the axils, very oblique, veins obscure; petiole } in.; stipules 
2-partite. Peduneles 1-1} in., slender, often forming terminal panicles, puberu- 
lous; bracts 4, subulate, subequal. Heads 1 in. diam.; fruiting not much larger. 
Calyx-lobes small, rounded ; corolla-tube slender, lobes glabrous in Griffith's Khasian 
specimens, silky in Wallich’s. Capsules turgid, 4 in. long, pubescent.—I follow 
Wallich in accepting this as Roxburgh’s R. sessilifructus, though the leaves are not 
as described in the Flora Indica, ‘soft underneath,’ The stipules appear 2-partite, 
but are not perfect. 
8. U. levigata, Wal. Cat. 6111; branches 4-angled glabrous, leaves 
elliptic-lanceolate glabrous on both surfaces shining above not glaucous beneath, 
nerves/5—6 pair slender, stipules 2-fid, peduncles axillary and in terminal panicles 
bracteate about the middle, bracts short obtuse, calyx obscurely toothed, corolla 
glabrous, capsules sessile. i 
TexasseRIM and Peau, Wallich, Falconer, Kurz; Kuasta Mrs, Griffith (Kew 
Distrib. 2769). 
Very near U. sessilifructus, but the leaves are not at all glaucous beneath, the 
bracts broad and obtuse, and the corolla perfectly glabrous. 
9. U. homomalla, Mig. FI. Ind. Bat. ii. 343; branches tomentose or 
puberulous, leaves ovate-lanceolate long acuminate opaque and puberulous 
above especially on the nerves, shortly hairy beneath, nerves 6-8 pair, veins 
remote, stipules 2-partite, peduncles all axillary bracteate above the middle, 
flowers sessile, calyx-limb very short obscurely toothed, ovary minute cuneate 
silky, corolla pubescent. U. pilosa, Wall. Cat. 6108 O., not of Roxburgh. ^ 
Eastern BENGAL; Jyntea hills, Wallich—Duisrris. Sumatra. 
Branehes lower acutely 4-angled, upper nearly terete, closely finely pubestent, 
Leaves 24-85 by 1-13, gradually tapering to the long points, base rounded; petiole 
slender, i in.; stipules each divided into 2 subulate-lanceolate reeurved subpersistent 
segments. Peduncles stout, 1 in., tapering from the base; bracts obtuse. Heads ? in. 
diam.; receptacle small; corolla 4 in. long. Capsules probably sessile.—Differs 
entirely from Roxburgh’s U. pilosa in the fine pubescence, smaller size, petioled 
leaves, and calyx-teeth. | 
10. U. ovalifolia, Hoch, in Wall. Cat. under 6103 B. C. (U. Gambier ; 
branches slender glabrous, leaves broadly elliptic-ovate or orbicular obtusdjy 
acuminate membranous opaque concolorous and quite glabrous on both surfacds, 
wrinkled when dry, stipules 2-fid, peduncles short slender all axillary bracteate 
near the base, flowers pedicelled, calyx-lobes small round, corollas small ui-
