152 LXXY. RUDIACEX. (J. D. Hooker.) [Pavella.. 
6. P. naucleiflora, Vall. Cat. 6171; densely pubescent, greenish when: 
dry, leaves elliptic caudate-acuminate softly tomentose beneath, cymes open 
terminating long axillary naked branches with a pair of leaves at the (op, 
peduncles and pedicels crowded hirsute with dense white spreading hairs, calyx-- 
teeth subulate, corolla hairy or glabrous, tube iin. twice as long as the lobes.

Buoran; banks of the Kollery, alt. 2500 ft, Griffith. Stuer and PENANG, 
Wallich. Trxassuri, Helfer, Kurz. 
A shrub or tree. Leaves 4-6 by 1-2 in., with short scattered hairs above, petiole 
$-lin. Cymes sessile, 2-3 in. diam.; flowers very many, white, much like those of 
P. indica, var, tomentosa, of which it is perhaps only a form. Fruit hispid. 
** Calyu-tecth elongate, equalling or longer than the ovary. 
7. P. involucrata, hw. Enum. 156; glabrous, almost black when 
dry, leaves elliptic obovate oblong or oblanceolate obtuse or subacute, cymes 
terminating axillary naked branches sessile capitate surrounded at the base by 
broad large sheathing stipular bracts, calyx-teeth equalling or longer than the- 
ovary, corolla-lobes linear exceeding the tube, throat with a ring of hairs.

Cryton; central province, alt. 5-7000 ft., Walker, Ee, 
A large shrub; branches robust, bark yellowish. Leaves 2-3 by 1-1} in., thinly 
coriaceous, brown beneath when dry, narrowed into the short petiole. Cymes 1 in. 
diam., globose or compressed ; branches 2-4 in., terminated usually by a pair of leaves ; 
stipular bracts pale brown, often cuspidate ; flowers sessile, white, densely crowded, 
Calyx-teeth ovato-lanccolate, ciliate, pubescent within. Corolla-tube i in., campanu- 
late, lobes acuminate. Style stout; stigma hardly thickened. Fruit smooth, Seeds 
orbicular, ventrally deeply hollowed.—This has the black look and short flowers of a 
Webera. 
8. P. Brunonis, Wall. Cat. 6172; softly tomentose, greenish when dry, 
leaves obovate or oblanceolate obtuse or acute softly hirsute beneath, cymes ter- 
minal sessile contracted densely tomentose, branches 3 very stout short with a. 
fastigate cluster of flowers, stipular bracts large, calyx-teeth lanceolate recurved, 
corolla glabrous, tube 4 in. twice as long as the lobes, stigma narrowly clavate.

This resembles P. indica, var. tomentosa, but the cymes are dense with short stout 
main branches, the calyx-teeth are entirely different, and the flowers are smaller. 
One of Wallich’s specimens was received from Wight, but I find none in the Herba- 
rium of the latter Lotanisi, where the specimen named Brunonis has the truncate 
calyx and loose eme of P. indica, var, tomentosa. 
9. P. Wightii, Mook. f. ; nearly glabrous, pale greenish when dry, leaves 
elliptic-lanceolate acute puberulous beneath with ed oblong thickened glands, . 
cymes terminating slender axillary naked branches open much divided elabrate, 
flowers long-pedicelled, calyx-teeth slender lanceolate acuminate longer than 
the ovary, corolla glabrous, tube 2 in, slender 2-3 times as long as the narrow 
acute lobes, 
konns Hirrs, Wight. ^ 
This, but for the very long slender tecth of the calyx, would be put with P. indica: 
The slender naked axillary flowering branches are compressed, but not so much as in: 
P. involucrata, and are 2-3 in. long; sometimes they are leafless at the summit, when 
the inflorescence appears peduneled and axillary. The ealyx-teeth are erect and twice 
as long as the puberulous ovary, and the styles are very slender and glabrous. I have 
seen only one specimen, 
10. P. Gleniei, Tw. mss. ; glabrous or velvety, leaves elliptic-lanceolate 
or broadly elliptic obtuse or acute, cymes terminating axillary slender leafless-
