apiculate, corymbs small subcapitate hirsute, corolla glabrous externally, tube 
-equalling the limb, berries several-seeded.

A rounded erect shrub, a foot or two high, with very woody short crowded 
branches. Leaves 13-2 in., subsessile, pale brown when dry, margin recurved ; petiole 
and triangular stipules pubescent. Cymes }-1 in. diam., hirsute, Calyx-teeth minute. 
Ovary-cells 3-4-ovuled. Corolla white, tube and lobes about 4 in. long. Berries sizə 
of a small pea, shortly pedicelled, crowned by the calyx-limb. Seeds angled.—Quite 
unlike its congeners in its dwarf size, pale brown colour when dry, and the contracted 
corymbs. 
** Corolla-tube longer than the lobes. 
5. W. monosperma, JV. § A. Prodr. 401 (Stylocoryne) ; glabrous, 
leaves oblanceolate acuminate, corolla glabrous externally, tube much longer 
-than the lobes, berry I-seeded. Wt. Ic. t. 317. 
Travancore; at Courtallam, Wight. 
A shrub, olive-brown when dry, branches rather slender. Leaves 4-9 by 1-23 in., 
rather thin, narrowed into the short petiole; stipules triangular. Cymes many- 
flowered, corymbose, glabrous.  Calya-teeth. minute. Corolla-tuhe 2 in., lobes § in. 
Ovary-cells 2-8-ovuled. Berries “ white, size of a small cherry ” (Wt.). 
6. W. fragrans, Blume Bijd. 982 (Stylocoryne) ; branches and leaves 
glabrous, leaves elliptic or elliptic-lanceolate acute, cymes pubescent open 
many-flowered, corolla-tube very long slender much longer than the lobes, 
berries many-seeded. Stylocoryne fragrans, DC. Prodr. iv. 377. 5S. laxiflora,

Banca, Java, Borneo. 
A small tree, “sometimes 60 ft." (Hasskarl), branches 4-angled. Leaves pale 
brown, 4-6 in., narrowed into the petiole, rather shining above, nerves beneath some- 
times puberulous; stipules triangular. Cymes 3—4 in. diam. ; pedicels slender, bracts 
linear, Calyz-teeth triangular. Corolla-tube 1 in, 5 times as long as the linear- 
oblong lobes. Berries size of a pea. Seeds angular. 
7. W. costata, Mig. Fl. Ind. Bat. ii. 203 (Stylocoryne) ; leaves obovate 
obtuse or subacute glabrous or with midrib beneath and nerve-axils pubescent, 
cymes many and dense-flowered densely pubescent, corolla-tube slender pubes- 
-cent much longer than the short lobes. 
Maracca, Griffith (Kew Distrib. 2791), Maingay (945). —Drsrnrs. Sumatra, Banea. 
A large tree, branches woody, branchlets tomentose. Leaves 6-9 by 24-41 in., 
dark brown when dry, coriaceous, narrowed into the short petiole. Cymes shortly 
peduneled, 11-2 in, diam., bracts minute. Calyx-lobes very short, limb deciduous. 
Corolla-tube $ in.; lobes 4 the length of the tube, oblong. Berries size of a pea, 
many-seeded,—I have seen only imperfect fruiting specimens of Miquel's JV. costata, 
-which agree perfectly with this. 
8. W. Maingayi, Hook. f., branches leaves beneath and cymes tomen- 
tose, leaves ovate caudate-acuminate glabrous above, cymes subcapitate, corolla- 
-tube slender tomentose much shorter than the lobes, berries many-seeded. 
Matacca; Mount Ophir, Griffith (Kew Distrib. 3081), Maingay (932). 
A shrub, branches terete. Leaves brown when dry, 3-6 in., coriaceous, base 
rounded; petiole ZA in.; stipules lanccolate, tomentose. Cymes 2-3 in. diam.,
