From the Eastern Himataya and Kuasta Mirs., aesending to 6000 ft. to SINGA- 
porE.—Distris. Malay Islands, S. China, Japan. 
Leaves 2-4 by 1-23 in., above glabrous or sparsely hairy, beneath glabrous pubes- 
cent or subtomentose; petiole 1-3 in. Panicle as in P. fetida, but branches usually 
shorter and the ultimate often scorpioid with secund sessile flowers. Calyx and 
corolla as in P. fetida. Fruit $-} in. diam, with 2 orbicular much compressed 
pyrenes. 
PB. P. linearis, Hook. f.; glabrous, very slender, leaves opposite sub- 
sessile narrowly linear acute, calyx-teeth minute, corolla pubescent. 
TENASSERIM ; at Mergui, Griffith (Kew Distrib. 2911). 
Branches shining: Leaves 2-3 by din. nerves very obscure; petiole A in. or less. 
Panicles spreading, broad; branches very slender, repeatedly trichotomous ` bracteoles 
minute, flowers remote, often on long pedicels, like those of P. fætida. Fruit 
(unripe) subglobose, glabrous, 4 in. diam,—This. is probably allied in the fruit to P. 
tomentosa. 
EXCLUDED SPECIES. 
P. recurva, Roxb. Hort. Beng..165; Fl. Ind. i. 684; DC. Prodr. iv. 471, appears 
from Roxburgh's drawing to be Zxora, recurva, Kurz. 
P. eREcTA, Roxb. Hort. Beng. 15; Fi. Ind. i. 685; DC. Prodr. iv. 471, is probably 
a Psychotria.
