Bomb. Fl. 114; Brand, For. Fl. 277.—Wild and cultivated in various parts of India 
and Ceylon. Not unfrequent in the forests of the Andamans, Kurz, who ascribes more 
acute stipules to this form and smaller fruit. 
Van. 3. elliptica; leaves 6-8 in, elliptic polished acuminate, nerves strong on both 
surfaces. Tavoy, Gomez, Wall, Cat. 8434. Concan, Stocks. Malacca, Griffith.—'This 
looks intermediate between engustifolia and citrifolia in foliage. The drupes are par- 
tially free in the Tavoy specimen. 
2. M. tinctoria, Lov. Hort. Beng. 15; Fl. Ind. i. 542; leaves usually 
4-8 in. broadly or narrowly elliptic acute at both ends, base very rarely cordate 
glabrous or pubescent or tomentose beneath or on both surfaces nof shining, 
peduncles solitary or 2-nate leaf-opposed rarely terminal and panicled, flowers 
5-merous, fruit of many drupes coalescent into a globose or ovoid fleshy head 1 
in. diam. or less. 
Throughout India from the Sutlej eastwards, and southwards to Ceylon and 
Malacea.—Disrrm, Malay Archipelago. 
Considered by many Indian botanists to be the wild form of M. citrifolia; but if 
M. bracteata is truly wild in India, as is asserted on good authority, it may be safer: 
to regard tinctoria as a separate plant, characterised by its smaller foliage, which is 
never shining. "The following are prevalent forms, but are neither constant nor always 
recognisable (in a dried state at any rate) from one another and from M. citrifolia. 
Var. 1. tinctoria proper; often shrubby, leaves glabrous rarely pubescent beneath, 
peduncles leaf-opposed. M. tinctoria, Roxb. l e. ; DC. Prodr. iv. 447 ; W. 4 A. Prodr.

Van. 4. aspera; leaves lanceolate or elliptie-laneeolate acuminate and branches 
uniformly scabrid, stipules broad reflexed cleft to the base into two oblong obtuse 
lobes, peduncles leaf-opposed or axillary slender scabrid, corolla pubescent. M. aspera,

Forma exserta. M. exserta, Roxb. Hort. Beng. 15; Fl. Ind. i. 545; DC. Prodr. iv.

and 430; Kurz For. Fl. ii, 59.—Under Roxburgh's deseriptions and the above cita- 
tions are ineluded various forms of Morinda with exserted anthers, of which some 
are referable to citrifolia and others to the varieties of tinctoria; and as the character 
of the anthers is sexual, this form must be abandoned even as a variety, as Thwaites 
has pointed out.
