106 LXXV. RUBIACEX. (J. D. Hooker.) [ Webera. 
Very similar to W. Wallichii, but differing in the pedicelled ebraeteolate flowers, 
and more obtuse calyx-lobes, and the seeds, which are deeply exeavated ventrally, 
16. W. lucens, Mook. f.; quite glabrous, leaves small linear-oblong 
narrowly elliptic-lanceolate obtuse or acute black and shining when dry, cymes 
sessile, Lud spreading, flowers pedicelled, calyx ebracteolata, teeth short 
triangular, corolla-tube equalling the linear lobes, throat pubescent. Pavetta

A bush, very black when dry. Leaves 2-4 by 31-11 in., rather coriaceous, nerves 
6-7 pair; petiole very short; stipules triangular. Cymes 1-2 in.; lower bracts often 
foliaceous. Corolla 4 in. diam., 4—5-eleft. Style hairy; stigma slender fusiform, 
shortly exserted. Ovules 1 in each cell. Fruit size of a large pea, sometimes oblo ng 
and diseased; calyx-limb persistent.

17. W. campaniflora, Hook. f.; leaves elliptic or elliptie-lanceolate 
acuminate above glabrous or scaberulous beneath pubescent or glabrate, nerves 
12-15 pair, cymes sessile or deflexed in bud hirsute, flowers sessile and pedi- 
celled, calyx hirsute teeth ovate-lanceolate, corolla puberulous, tube short, limb 
-campanulate, lobes short ovate acute. Stylocoryne Webera, Wall. Cat. 8401 K.

A large bush or small tree; branches rather slender, glabrous, except the young 
shoots. Leaves 4-12 by 2-4 in., nearly black when dry, membranous, usually shining 
above, beneath hispidly pubescent or puberulous or glabrate, nerves slender; petiole 
3-1 in., hispid or glabrate; stipules triangular, euspidate, Cymes at first sharply 
deeurved, at length horizontal or suberect, 1-3 in. long, lower branches spreading ; 
bracts persistent, lanceolate, lower stipuliform ; flowers šin. long, when pedicelled 
ebracteolate at the base; buds with a very short tube and large fusiform acute limb, 
Calya-teeth longer than the ovary. Corolla-limb 3-3 in. diam., throat glabrous, tube 
villous within. Anthers long, sessile. Style short, hairy; stigma very long, fusi- 
form, curved, grooved, Ovules solitary in each cell.—4A very remarkable species ; the 
corolla is quite unlike that of any other. A Malacea plant in young fruit of Griffith's 
(Kew Distrib. 2795) may be it, as also a Mergui one of Griffith's in Wight's Her- 
barium, also in fruit only. 
18. W. canarica, Mook. f.; glabrous, leaves elliptic or oblanceolate 
-acuminate glabrous on both surfaces, nerves about 15 pair, cymes small sessile 
few-fld. puberulous, branches very stout, flowers shortly pedicelled ebracteolate 
-at the base, calyx obconic obscurely toothed, corolla-tube cylindric about twice 
-as long as the linear lobes, style pubescent. ? Pavetta canarica, Bedd. FL Sylv.,

Sourn Canara; on the Ghats, Zeddome, Cocuin, Wight. 
Branches stout. Leaves 6-8 by 2-24 in., dark green when dry, membranous; 
petiole $-3 in. Bracts short, triangular. Buds 1 in., cylindric, obtuse; corolla lobes 
linear, half the length of the tube or more, throat glabrous, tube villous within. 
Anthers sessile. Style pubescent; stigma very long, narrowly fusiform. Ovules one 
= each cell, on large placentas.--Doubtfully identified with Beddome's insufficient 
iagnosis, 
19. W.? nilagirica, Mook. f.; young branches pubescent, leaves obovate- 
lanceolate subcaudate-acuminate pubescent beneath, nerves 12-15 pair, cymes
