united by a plant of Griffith's (Kew Distrib. 2835) from Menkroom, in Birma, with 
elliptie-lanceolate acuminate leaves, and much more pubescent panicles. 
6. W. glabrata, DC. Prodr. iv. 411; glabrous or with the branches, 
leaves beneath and panicle minutely pubescent, leaves opposite petioled elliptic- 
lanceolate subacute obtuse or obtusely acuminate shining above, stipules erect 
small triangular cuspidate or acuminate, calyx glabrous, teeth minute triangular.

A shrub or small tree. Leaves of the form, &c., of W. tinctoria, always glabrous 
except sometimes the midrib beneath, panicle glabrous or minutely puberulous (more 
so in W. levigata, Miq.), flowers as in W. tinctoria, but calyx always glabrous with 
very short teeth. No one has sent this plant from Western India but Rottler, 
whose specimens (in Herb. Kew) are marked “ Nundry dr, Mars 17, 1806.” A single 
specimen from Parish has 3-nately whorled leaves. 
W. tenuiflora, Miquel mss., appears a form with the slender branches of the 
panicle covered with empty bracteoles. 
7. W. coriacea, DC. Prodr. iv. 412; everywhere quite glabrous, leaves 
opposite coriaceous petioled narrowly lanceolate finely acuminate shining above, 
stipules erect very short and broad with an erect laterally compressed appen- 
dage, panicles very many and dense-fld., calyx glabrous, teeth short. Wall. Cat. 
6279, Rondeletia coriacea, Wall. in Roxb. Fl. Ind., ed. Carey § Wall. ii, 142. 
Troprcat Hrmuataya; Nipal, Wallich; Sikkim, alt. 2-4000 ft., J. D. H. 
A small tree or large shrub. Leaves 5-6 by 14-2 in., coriaceous, pale when dry, 
narrowed into a petiole J in.; nerves about 10 pair, very delicate. Panicles 4-5 in. 
high and broad, branches flowering all over. Flowers sessile, 4 in. long. Calyx-teeth 
triangular or ovate-lanceolate. —Corolla-tube slender, lobes broadly oblong. Anthers 
shortly exserted, stigmas short.—This differs from glabrata in the longer narrower 
coriaceous leaves with faint nerves and finely acuminate points and the larger flowers. 
8. W. paniculata, DC. Prodr. iv. 411; leaves opposite elliptic or 
elliptic-lanceolate acuminate more or less pubescent beneath, stipules recurved 
broad orbicular or oblong with tips rounded, panicle spreading villous, calyx- 
teeth rounded. Wall. Cat. 6266 A. (upper specimen only); 6269 (tinctoria), D. 
in part ; 6267 (exserta), B. in part. W. luzoniensis, DC. /. c., 412.  Rondeletia

tree. Leaves usually large, 5-8 by 2—4 in., membranous, usually tapering to 
pouf onde, rarely narrowly obovate, nerves 8-10 pair, petiole usually 3-2 in.; stipules 
coriaceous, pubescent. Panicle ample. Flowers as in W. tinctoria.

. W. ligustrina, Wall. Cat. 6272; branches slender glabrous, leaves 
opPsite elliptic or elliptic-ovate acute glabrous or puberulous on the nerves 
beneath, petiole rather long, stipules broadly triangular cuspidate, panicle lax 
pubescent, calyx glabrous, teeth filiform longer than the tube.

Much branched, leafy. Leaves 4-6 by 1-2 in., acute not acuminate, rather coria 
ceous, nerves 6-8 pair, petiole A. A in.; stipules appressed. Panicle-branches slender. 
Beie ee oblong, balf as long as the tube; stamens and styles much exserted.—-
