the base, calyx obconic, teeth short broad, e e cylindric much longer

Nitcuerry Mrs.; Sispara Ghat and Peria Peak, Wynaad, Beddome, G. Thomson. 
Branches stout. Leaves 4-9 by 13-24 in, greenish when dry, glabrous above ; 
petiole 4 in., stout; stipules shortly triangular. Cymes 1 in., and buds similar to 
those of JW. canarica, but the branches more pubescent, and the calyx-teeth moro 
prominent. Corolla (seen in bud only) more resembling a Pavetta than a Webera, as 
do the very slender styles with the stigma not thickened or fusiform at all, and the 
sessile anthers; but the flowers are ó-merous, It is probably a 5-merous Pavetia, 
and possibly a form of the protean P. indica.
