Hilly districts of W. Bexcar, Benar, and the WESTERN PENINSULA, from the 
Satpura range southwards. Cmırracoxa, C. B. Clarke. Preu, Kurz. CEYLON; 
hot drier parts of the island. 
An evergreen tree. Leaves 3-6 by 14-2} in. very coriaceous, pale when dry; 
nerves slender, rather stronger than the reticulate venules; petiole very stout; 
stipules short, cusps short. Cymes 2-6 in., inarticulate, internodes shorter than in 
I. brachiata, and branches much shorter; lower bracts stipuliform, upper and brac- 
teoles minute or obsolete; flowers white, odorous, sessile or pedicelled. Filaments 
short. Style very pubescent; stigma subeapitate, simple or cleft. Fruit small, 
didymous. Seeds plano-convex.—I have seen no Pegu specimens.— Touch-wood. 
? Var. zeylanica; leaves longer petioled broadly elliptic or obovate acute or 
acuminate cuneate at the base more membranous less reticulate, stipules with longer 
cusps, cyme-branches longer.—I. jucunda, var. y, an species distincta? Thwaites 
Enum. 155. Ceylon, Walker, &c.— This is certainly very near indeed to Z. parviflora, 
agreeing entirely even to the pubescent style and the anthers and form of seed, as far 
as I can ascertain from imperfect fruits, and differs from Z. jucunda widely in the 
cymes, length of the corolla, and form of its lobes. 
19. I. grandifolia, Zoll, § Morr. Syst. Verz, 65; glabrous or the cymes 
puberulous, leaves often very large petioled elliptie ovate oblong or lanceolate 
obtuse or acute, stipules large with a long cusp or the upper 2-fid, cymes 
sessile brachiate or corymbiform ramifications inarticulate, branches more or 
less stout, bracts and bracteoles obsolete, flowers pedicelled, filaments subulate,. 
anthers very slender, calyx-lobes small triangular or obtuse, corolla glabrous, 
tube 4-1} in., lobes oblong obtuse, mouth naked. I. elliptica, Br. o Wall. Cat.

I am quite unable to distinguish specifically various of the very dissimilar forms 
that occur in the localities specified ; all have pedicelled white or pale pink flowers, 
fruit the size of a large or small pea, and their seeds are very concave ventrally. The 
principal are: 
Van. coriacea, Br. in Wall. Cat. 6151 (sp.); I. macrosiphon, Kurz in Trimen. 
Journ. Bot. 1875, 327; For. Fl. ii. 24; branches very stout with whitish bark, leaves. 
12-18 by 4-5 in. elliptic base acute obtuse or rounded, petiole very robust, cymes with 
very thick suberect flowering branches spreading in fruit, corolla-tube 4 in.—Penang, 
Wallich.—Griffith's specimens from Malacca (Kew Distrib. 2999) have narrower 
lanceolate bases and shorter petioles, and the cymes reduced to a fascicle of thick 
primary branches starting from the end of the branch. Kurz’s from S. Andaman 
have dark leaves 12-14 by 41-5 in., with rounded bases, almost black, and similar 
cymes,— Pavetta macrophylla, Blume, appears a large-flowered form of this, as is pro- 
bably P. Teysmanniana and P. macrocoma of Miquel. 
Van. arborescens, Hassk. (sp.) in Retzia, i. 22; branches more slender usually 
with white bark, leaves 4-10 by 2-3 in., usually more membranous, rachis of cyme 
elongate, branches horizontal, flowers looser, corolla-tube 4 in.—Penang and Malacca, 
Griffith (Kew Distrib. 2987). 
Var. Kurzeana, Teysm. & Binnend. (sp.) in Nat. Tijdsch. Ned. Ind. xxvii. 100, ex 
Kurz in Journ. As. Soc, 1876, ii. 134; leaves lanceolate thin narrowed into a stout 
petiole, cymes corymbiform, corolla 1-14 in.—Nicobar Islands, Kurz. 
Var. rosella, Kurz For. Fl. ii. 23 (sp.); leaves 6-8 by 33-43 in. thin elliptic- 
oblong or obovate acute or acuminate margins often undulate, nerves nearly hori- 
SE, petiole 4—1 in., cymes corymbiform, corolla 3-5 in.—South Andaman Islands,.
