Izora. | LXXV. RUBIACEZ. (J. D. Hooker.) 139 
AAnthers sessile. Fruit globose or didymous, $ in. diam., smooth.—I have seen no 
specimen of Thwaites’ var. B, with the branches and leaves on both sides velvetty. 
5. I. Notoniana, Wall. Cat. 6132; robust, glabrous except the puberu- 
lous cyme, leaves petioled elliptic or oblong obtuse thickly coriaceous, nerves 
12-15 pair, cymes peduncled brachiate many-flowered clusters rounded, calyx- 
teeth lanceolate longer than the ovary, corolla } in., tube very slender, lobes 
oblong obtuse glabrous, mouth glabrous. I. Wightiana, Wall. Cat. 6161. I.

1-2 in.; stipules with long strong cuspidate points, glabrous. Cymes sometimes 
6 in. diam. ; peduncles stout, 2-6 in.; lower bracts often leafy ; bracteoles setaceous ; 
flowers red, shortly pedicelled, glabrous. Anthers sessile, nearly as long as the

6. I. Johnsoni, Hook. f.; glabrous, branches robust, leaves petioled 
large elliptie acute at both ends, stipules triangular acute, cymes sessile corym- 
biform, branches very short and flowers densely crowded, calyx-teeth linear- 
lanceolate much longer than the tube, corolla-tube 3 in., lobes linear-oblong 
acute, mouth naked. 
Wester PENINSULA, near Wenna Mala in Cochin, Rev. Mr. Johnson. 
Leaves crowded on the young branches, 6-8 by 3-33 in., thinly coriaceous, brown 
when dry, opaque; nerves 12-16 pair, arehed, prominent beneath; petiole very stout, 
} in.; stipules short, appressed. Cymes 1} in. long, branches rather slender but very 
short and much divided; bracts and bracteoles lanceolate, coriaceous, numerous. 
Calyx-teeth rigid, erect, broader as well as longer than the ovary. Filaments and 
anthers slender. Stigma fusiform, cleft. Fruit not seen.—I have seen but one 
specimen of this fine species. 
7. X. subsessilis, Wall. Cat. 6139; glabrous, leaves petioled lanceolate 
elliptic or oblanceolate acuminate, stipules with long cusps, cymes subsessile 
brachiate, branches slender lax-flowered, calyx-teeth filiform much longer 
(rarely only equalling) than the ovary, corolla-tube 4-1} in., excessively 
slender, lobes narrowly oblong acute, mouth glabrous. G. Don Gen. Syst. ii.

Assam and Kuasia Mrs., ascending to 4000 ft., De Silva, &e. 
A shrub or small tree; branches with pale bark. Leaves very variable, 4-8 by 
3.3 in., thinly coriaceous, pale when dry, opaque or shining; nerves very slender ; 
subulate points of stipules much longer than the short sheath. Cymes 1-6 in. diam. ; 
bracts elongate-subulate or filiform ; flowers white or rosy. Calyx-teeth variable in 
length. Corolla-limb 4-3 in. diam. Filaments long, flattened ; anthers very slender. 
Stigma slender, entire or cleft. Fruit + in. diam., gibbous, crowned with the slender 
calyx-teeth.— Wallieh's Z. oxyphylla has shorter calyx-teeth, but seems connected by 
intermediates with subsessilis. Some Assam specimens have teeth even shorter than 
the ovary. 
8, I. Brunonis, Wall. Cat. 6136; branches tomentose, leaves long sessile 
narrowly oblanceolate caudate-acuminate pubescent with spreading hairs, base 
cordate, cymes sessile corymbiform hirsute, flowers subcapitate, calyx-teeth 
linear-lanceolate about equalling the ovary, corolla-tube A in. hairy, mouth 
naked. G. Don Gen. Syst. iii. 573; Kurz For. Fl. ii. 20. Pavetta Brunonis,
