148 LXXV. RUBIACEZ, (J. D. Hooker.) (Lo, 
pressed, Cymes 4-8 in. and as broad, obscurely articulate; peduncle sometimes 2-3 
in.; bracts and bracteoles subulate, persistent; flowers small, white. J'/aments 
slender; anthers nearly equalling the corolla-lobes, Stigma cleft. Fruit pedicelled, 
size of a pea. Seed thin, with strongly incurved margins. 
33. I. barbata, Roxb. Hort. Beng. 10; Fl. Ind. i, 384; glabrous, leaves 
petioled elliptic subacute thin upper pair at base of pedicels usually small sessile 
cordate, cymes shortly peduncled brachiate much broader than high, branches 
long slender divaricate, calyx-teeth very short subulate, corolla-tube 1-1} in., 
lobes narrow, mouth woolly. DC. Prodr. iv. 487; Wight Ic. t. 185; Kurz

ANDAMAN and NicopaR Israwps; frequent in forests, Kurz. 
A large shrub. Leaves 6-8 by 23-33 in., usually elliptie and narrowed at tho 
base, rarely rounded; nerves about 12 pair, slender; upper pair oblong-ovate, acute, 
from 4-3 in. long; petiole 1-3 in.; stipules short, broad, cusp short. Cymes quite 
glabrous, 3-4 in. by 4-12 broad, the 2-3 pairs of branches being very long and wide- 
spread, much divided towards the end with slender branchlets and pedicelled lax 
white flowers; bracts at all the divisions narrowly lanceolate or the upper subulate. 
Fruit not seen.—Introduced into the Calcutta Garden before Roxburgh’s time, but 
its native country unknown till Kurz found it in the Andamans, &e. 
34, X. oblonga, Br. in Wall. Cat. 6147 A.; glabrous, branches stout, 
leaves petioled oblong obtuse at both ends, nerves about 12 pair, upper pair 
smaller sessile, stipules short, cymes peduncled small short brachiate, branches 
stout, calyx-teeth very short, corolla-tube }-4 in., lobes oblong obtuse, mouth 
naked, 
TExassERIM ; at Amherst, Wallich.—Distrip. Java, Siam. 
Leaves 34-5 by 1-1} in., thinly coriaceous, greenish when dry, similar and rather 
shining on both surfaces; nerves faint; petiole j in.; stipules with short cusps. 
Cymes 1 in, high by 2-3 broad; peduncle and two pair of branches stout, the latter 
divided at the ends; bracts and braeteoles subulate, persistent; flowers white, 
odorous.—The Java, Siam, and Tenasserim specimens are singularly alike in size, 
colour, and form of leaves, and size and form of cymes, but the specimens are nof 
numerous, 
35, I. lucida, Br. in Wall. Cat. 6135; glabrous, shining, black when dry, 
branches slender, leaves very shortly petioled elliptic-ovate or -lanceolate 
long-acuminate base rounded or acute, nerves about 20 pair horizontal, cymes 
small peduncled corymbiform few-flowered, branches slender, bracts and brac- 
teoles persistent, calyx-teeth lanceolate equalling the tube, corolla-tube 1 in. 
very slender, lobes linear acuminate, mouth pubescent, stigma short cleft. G.

Pzxaxo, Wallich. 
Leaves 3-5 by 14-2 in., thin; nerves very slender, raised on both polished sur- 
faces; petiole AE in.; stipules very short, cuspidate. Cymes trichotomously 
branched, 1 in. long with very few branches, and rigid persistent subulate bracts ; 
bracteoles also rigid, nearly as long as the ealyx.— The specimens are very insuffi- 
cient; the habit and colour are those of J. nigricans, but the calyx-teeth, long 
corolla-tube with pubescent mouth, broader buds, and short stigma with short 
recurved arms, are very different. 
36. I. nigricans, Br. in Wall. Cat. 6154; glabrous or cymes pubescent, 
black when dry, branches slender, leaves petioled elliptic-oblong or -lance late 
or -obovate obtusely and acutely acuminate, nerves 12-15 pair arched, cymes 
sessile or peduncled brachiate broader than long, branches slender, stipules 
with long cusps, calyx-teeth lanceolate or subulate acute, corolla-tube j in., 
lobes slender, mouth naked, stigmas long slender arms. IV. § A, Prodr, 428;
