A large shrub or small tree, “ sometimes epiphytal" (Keenan) ; branches glabrous 
or puberulous. Leaves dark brown when dry, 4-8 by 1-3 in., coriaceous, smooth; 
petiole 1-3 in.; stipules triangular, acuminate. Cymes sessile or shortly peduneled, 
solitary or opposite from leafless nodes, or solitary and opposite a reduced leaf, or from 
the axil of a reduced leaf and opposite a developed one, branched from the base; 
branches flattened, divaricate, glabrous, puberulous or pubescent; bracts small, tri- 
angular. Flowers numerous, pedicelled. Calyx } in.; teeth minute or 0. Corolla 
$-4 in. diam.; lobes glabrous or silky externally. Stigma slender, exserted. Berry 
sizo of a pea, areolate; cells 8- or more-seeded. Seeds rugose; albumen ruminate. 
—The inflorescence is that of Anomanthodia. 
10. R. Gardneri, 7/w. Enum. 158 (Griflithia); erect, glabrous, un-

broad many-seeded. Griffithia Gardneri, Bedd. Ic. Pl. Ind. Or, t. 38. Randia

Very closely allied indeed to R. densiflora, and perhaps better considered as the 
Ceylon form of that plant, but the leaves are more strictly lanceolate, the cymes always 
from the axils of fully formed leaves, and the berry is not globose but evidently, 
though slightly, elongated ; the flowers are quite glabrous, except at the throat of the 
corolla, which is less villous than in XR. densiflora.
