Hedyotis. | LXXV. RUBIACEX. (J. D. Hooker.) 55 
lanceolate, mouth woolly. Capsule of 2 hard cocci splitting ventrally, each with 
about 6 angular seeds.—This is certainly Arnott’s H. nodulosa, who describes it as 
2-coccous, and not the H. nodulosa a. of Thwaites, which has 4 indehiscent cocci, and 
is an Alleophania. 
Van. Walkeri; leaves glabrous above. H. Walkerii, Arn. im Nov. Act. Acad. 
xviii. i. 389; Walp. Rep. ii. 493.—Ceylon, Walker. 
25. H. cinereo-viridis, Thwaites Enum. 419; slender, much branched, 
stem obtusely 4-angled, leaves petioled lanceolate acuminate, nerves indistinct, 
stipules very short cuspidate, cymes opposite on slender peduncles or sessile 
few-flowered, calyx-teeth triangular-ovate acute or obtuse shorter than the capsule. 
IL. inameena, Thwaites l. c. 145, partly. 
Czvrow ; in the central province, Thwaites. 
Stem apparently erect; branches acutely 4-angled. Leaves green when dry, 2-6 
by 1-2 in., narrowed into a petiole }-? in.; cusp of stipules longer than the body. 
Peduncles of cymes in one form 1-2 in. long, in B. of Thwaites 0, with 2 foliaceous 
bracts under the head. Flowers crowded, subsessile. Capsules ovoid, smooth, cells 
3—4-seeded. 
26. H. albo-nervia, Bedd. Ic. Pl. Ind. Or. t. 3; quie glabrous, much 
branched, stem obtusely 4-angled, leaves petioled elliptic-lanceolate acuminate, 
nerves distinct, stipules free deeply pectinate glabrous, cymes small axillary 
sessile, calyx-teeth lanceolate much longer than the capsule. 
TINNEVELLI and TRAVANCORE Mts., alt. 3-4000 ft., rare, Beddome. 
Very nearly allied to H. cinereo-viridis, but differing remarkably in the stipules, 
the segments of which are sometimes filiform, and in the long lanceolate acuminate 
calyx-lobes. 
27. Ħ. travancorica, Bedd. Ic. Pl. Ind. Or. 7; quite glabrous, much 
branched, branches obtusely 4-angled, leaves small petioled elliptic acute or 
acuminate, nerves indistinct, stipules semi-orbicular pectinate, peduncles axillary 
capillary 1-fld., calyx-lobes elongate subulate longer than the capsule. 
TRAVANCORE and TINNEVELLI Mts., alt. 3-4000 ft., Beddome. 
A small species; branches woody, divarieating, white when old, youngest only 
acutely 4-angled. Leaves towards the end of the branches, green when dry, 3-17 in., 
rather coriaceous; stipules scurfy. Peduncles shorter than the leaves, filiform. 
Flowers solitary, } in. long, without bracts. Calya-tube not produced above the 
ovary. Corolla funnel-shaped, glabrous except the woolly mouth. Capsules glabrous 
with stiff erect calyx-teeth, cells few-seeded. 
9d. H. hirsutissima, Bedd. Ic. Pl. Ind. Or. t. ii; woody, robust, 
branches and leaves beneath hirsute, leaves petioled elliptic-lanceolate acumi- 
nate scabrid above, nerves strong beneath, stipules very large connate deeply 
peetinate, cymes on axillary slender peduncles, calyx-teeth ovate-lanceolate 
equalling the hirsute capsule. 
NireuknRY Mts.; between Avalanche and Sispara, alt. 7000 ft., Wight, Gardner, 
Beddome. 
Stem terete, spreading, short spreading branches densely clothed with stipular 
scars, as thick as a goose-quill. Leaves crowded at the end of the branches, yellow- 
brow when dry, 1-3 by 4-1 in., very coriaceous; petiole short, stout; stipules 
sometimes } in. diam., coriaceous, hirsute; segments subulate. Peduncles shorter 
than$the leaves when bearing flowers only and slender, when bracteate with a 
branched cyme stouter. Capsule globose, cells several-seeded. 
***** Herbs with terminal or terminal and axillary globose dense-flowered 
cymes, often bracteate or involucrate at the base.
