196 LXXV. RUBIACEX. (J. D. Hooker.) [ Pederia. 
nately whorled petioled broadly oblong upper lanceolate acuminate, cyme- 
branches whorled, calyx-limb truncate, corolla glabrous. DC. Prodr. iv. 471. 
Maracca, Maingay (Kew Distrib. 885). 
Very similar to P. fietida, except in the characters indicated, and the much nar 
rower panicles with short O A in.) stouter branches. 
3. P. calycina, Kurz in Journ. As. Soc, 1873, ii, 74; For. Fl. ii. 76; 
leaves pret long-petioled cordate-ovate or -lanceolate acuminate hispidulous 
especially beneath, calyx-lobes lanceolate subfoliaceous, fruit broadly ellipsoid 
compressed, pyrenes with a very narrow black thickened margin. P. foetida, 
Wall, Cat. 6247 E. 
TENAssERIM ; at Tavoy, Wallich. 
Branches glabrous. Leaves 4-5 by 13-2 in. very membranous, deeply cordate 
with the sinus open and lobes incurved; petiole 1-2 in., hispidulous. Flowers not 
‘seen. Fruit 1-3 in., shining, about twice as long as the stellately spreading calyx- 
lobes.— Wallich's specimens are the only ones I have seen. 
4. P. lanuginosa, Wall. Pl. As. Rar. ii. 52, t. 165 (not Wall. Cat. 
7293); petioles and panicles scurfily tomentose, leaves opposite long-petioled 
all broadly ovate-cordate acuminate scaberulous above woolly beneath, panicle 
with the sos ali short stout, fruit large compressed ellipsoid with erect calyx- 
teeth, pyrenes black with a broad pale wing. P. macrocarpa, Wall. Cat. 7292 ; 
CG. Don Gen, Syst. iii. 561. 
RawaooN ; at Pegu, Wallich, Martaga ; at Moulmein, Parish. 
Leaves 426 by 24-4} in., rather coriaceous, dull greenish when dry above, buff 
beneath, the-upper not narrower; petiole 2-4 in. Panicles elongate; branches 1-3 
in. opposite; bracts -subulate or triangular-lanceolate. Corolla $ in. long, pink, 
woolly within. Fruit $ in. long, pale-brown, puberulous, the very short obtuse teeth 
erect and girding the base of the conical disk. 
5. P. Wallichii, Hook. f.; petioles and panicles finely pubescent, leaves 
opposite petioled ovate-cordate ‘the upper much narrower scabrid above woolly 
beneath, panicles with slender branches, flowers subcapitate, fruit small broadly 
ellipsoid compressed with broadly triangular reflexed calyx-teeth. P. lanu- 
ginosa, Wall. Cat. 7293, in part (not of Pl. As. Rar.) ; Kurz For. Fl. ii. 76. 
TENASSERIM; Atran river, near the hot wells, Wallich, Helfer. 
Leaves 5-6 by 21.3 in. dull green above when dry, buff beneath, rigid, and 
clothed with short rigid hairs, base deeply cordate with ineurved lobes, upper not 
half the breadth of the lower; petiole stout, 1-1} in. Panicles long, slender, branches 
and flowers pubescent and with short spreading hairs; flowers in small heads about 
lin. diam. Corolla $ in. Fruit (young) broadly ellipsoid, nearly orbicular, } in. 
diam.—I suspect that Kurz's P. lanuginosa includes this and the true plant; he 
describes the leaves as sometimes ovate-lanceolate, which is not the case in Wallich's 
lanuginosa (macrocarpa of his Cat.), and states that it is common in mixed forests 
from Burma to Tenasserim. 
6. P. pilifera, Mook. f.; branches petioles and panicles clothed with 
long spreading hairs, leaves «opposite subhastately-lanceolate acuminate scaberu- 
lous above woolly beneath, calyx-teeth triangular-lanceolate, fruit orbicular 
compressed, pyrenes black with a broad pale wing. Wall. Cat. 7293, in part. 
TENASSERIM ; Atran river, Wallich. 
Hait of P. lanuginosa, but differing widely in the long spreading hairs that 
clothe those parts which in that plant present a close short soft pubescence. Fruit 
1 in. diam., pale, shining, the broad short calyx-teeth sharply retlexed.
