spreading pubescence. Leaves 3-4 in., glabrous or pubescent above, base rounded or 
cordate; stipules slender, gradually tapering from the base upwards. Cymes 3-2 in. 
diam. ; flowers small, subsessile, d in. diam. Berries pedicelled, pubescent.—Wallich’s 
Urophyllum, 8315, from Singapore, resembles this, but has much larger leaves, 6-8 
in., narrowed at the base, petioles } in., and shortly peduncled cymes with glabrous 
-fruit. The specimens are very imperfect. 
6. U. longifolium, Wight in Calc. Journ. Nat. Hist. vii. 145, t. 2, f. E; 
Te. t. 1165 (Axanthes); young branches villous or glabrate, leaves large pe- 
tioled membranous elliptic-lanceolate acuminate, nerves beneath and lanceolate 
stipules tomentose, cymes sessile with the peduncles and pedicels tomentose, 
flowers glabrous. U. strigosum, Kurz For. FL ii. 53, not of Korthals. 
Tenasserio, Helfer (Kew Distrib. 2940); Mergui, Griffith, Kurz. 
Branches slender, obtusely 4-angled, the last internode usually villous. Leaves 
6-10 in., hardly caudate at the tip, base acute or rounded, midrib above pubescent, 
beneath tomentose, as are the petiole and stipules. Bracts conspicuous though small. 
— Kurz refers this (Journ. As. Soc. Beng. 1877, ii. 161) to U. glabrum, which differs 
in the glabrous cyme and leaves, and in the Forest Flora to Blume's Avanthes strigosa, 
a Javanese mountain plant, described by its author and by Miquel as having silky 
strigose branches, cymes, and nerves beneath, acute calyx-teeth and subcoriaceous 
leaves, characters wholly different from those of U. longifolium. The Tenasserim 
form of U. glabrum almost unites that variable species with this. 
7. U. streptopodium, Wall. Cu. 8317, partly ; branches petioles nerves 
beneath stipules and cymes thinly appressed-hairy, leaves petioled elliptic- 
oblong or lanceolate, stipules linear-lanceolate, cymes sessile, male calyx trun- 
cate, female 5-toothed, corolla glabrous tubular cleft at the top, style elongate.

Whole plant pale blue when dry, and best distinguished by the appressed white 
hairs on the branches, narrow stipules, toothed female calyx, and form of the corolla; 
but I find great difference in the size of the corolla, which is sometimes cleft at the 
top only, and at others much lower down.— Wallich’s 8316 B., from * Herb. Finlayson” 
(from Siam, I suppose), has very fine points to the leaves, and large flowers; his 8320 
(U. parviflorum) has slender branches, small narrow leaves and stipules, and minute 
imperfect flowers; it may be a different species.

branches slender slightly hairy, leaves petioled elliptic-lanceolate or oblanceolate 
caudate-acuminate, petioles and cyme-branches and linear-lanceolate stipules 
silkily-pubescent, cymes peduncled subumbellate simple or branched lax- 
flowered, female calyx truncate, corolla glabrous. Timonius? acuminatus,

Very closely allied to U. streptopodium, differing in the less silkily hairy branches, 
peduncled more pubescent cymes with looser flowers, and apparently always truncate 
male calyx, though of this I am not quite sure.—Wallich describes the calyx as 
“ hairy without,” which I do not find to be the case. The contents of the sheet to which 
the ticket U. glabrum of Wallich’s 8317 is attached, are four specimens of this and one 
of a non-rubiaceous plant. Wallich’s 8315 may be a large state of this, but it is far 
more robust and in an imperfect state.
