Habit of W. exserta, but with smaller (4-6 by 2-3 in.) nearly glabrous elliptic 
leaves, which are more membranous, with fewer (10-12 pair) of nerves, and longer: 
calyx-tubes often smaller panicles and nearly glabrous capsules; stipules very 
variable, 
3. W. Wallichii, W. $ A. Prodr. 402, in note; branches glabrous or 
puberulous, leaves opposite elliptic or elliptic-lanceolate acuminate at both ends 
glabrous or puberulous on the nerves beneath, stipules very caducous broad 
rounded, panicle pubescent, calyx glabrous teeth short triangular, corolla-tube 
a little longer than the lobes. Wall. Cat. 6269 B., in part (tinctoria).

An erect nearly glabrous shrub; branches swollen at the nodes when dry. Leaves 
2-7 by 14-24 in., rather coriaceous; nerves 10-12 pair, prominent beneath; petiole 
4—4 in.; stipules so deciduous that I found only one in ten specimens, it is imper- 
feet, broad, and apparently acute. Panicle moderate. Flowers like those of W. 
puberula. 
** Corolla-lobes rounded or shortly oblong, much shorter than the usually 
slender tube; anthers included or exserted. Stipules more or less persistent,

A small tree. Leaves 4-8 by 2-4 in., always narrowed into the petiole, glabrous 
and often shining above, paler rarely glabrous beneath, oftener pubescent on the 
nerves, sometimes tomentose all over; nerves 10-12 pair; petiole 1-2 in. Stipules 
variable in length, always with erect points, Panicles large, spreading, pubescent 
pilose or tomentose ; flowers sessile, fascicled, white, 1 in. long; corolla-tube usually 
slender, the lobes forming a capitate not ovoid head ; anthers shortly exserted. Stigmas 
oblong.— There are two principal forms.

Branches robust, glabrous. Leaves 4—6 by 14-2 in., rarely obovate or subacute, 
nerves 6-8 in Helfer's specimen, 8-12 in Wallich’s. Panicle robust. Corolla slender, 
lobes very small.—This may be a form of W. tinctoria, with which it is perhaps .
