Agapetes. | LXXXI., VACCINIACEZ. | (C. B. Clarke.) 447 
Pedicels 1 in., stout, thickened upwards, cupped top prominent, in fascicles of 1-4 on the 
thick part of the branches. Corolla tubular, little widened upwards, red with trans- 
verse bars; teeth 2 in., long-lanceolate. Anthers with spurs on the beak. Fruit not 
seen.—Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. 1877, ii. 214 unites this with A. macrantha (n. 11). 
Griffith’s figure, though apparently taken from a specimen now at Kew, is not accurate 
as regards the leaf-base and petiole. 
15. A. angulata, Hook. f. in Gen. Pi. ii. 571; leaves lanceolate acumi- 
nate narrowed to a short petiole, calyx-teeth ji in. shortly triangular glabrous,

Parxoy Mrs., south-east of Assam, Griffith (Kew Distrib, n. 3471). 
Very closely allied to A. variegata; the branches are more quadrangular; the 
leaves inflorescence and corolla undistinguishable; but the calyx-teeth are much 
shorter and more obtuse than in any of the examples of A. variegata. 
SECT. III. Corolla tubular, lobed less than half its length, straight. Pe- 
duncles axillary, solitary, 1- (or 2-) flowered. Leaves small. | 
16. A. obovata, Hook. f. in Gen. Pl. ii, 572; leaves less than A in. 
obovate obtuse entire, peduncles 1-flowered, corolla in. Vaccinium Sprengelii,

Kuasta Mrs. ; alt. 3-5000 ft., frequent, Griffith, H f. 4 T., &c. 
A small dense shrub. Branches rigid, terete, glabrous or patently hispid, densely 
leafy. Leaves glabrous, coriaceous, margins recurved. Peduncles 3-3 in., scattered 
among the leaves, scarcely dilated at the apex. Calyx-teeth } in., triangular-lanceo- 
late, glabrous. Corolla acutely conical in the bud, deep-red, ultimately wide tubular, 
lobed nearly half its length. Anther-beaks spurred. Capsule à in. diam., globose, 
ultimately dry. Seeds with the outer coat lax.—Resembling in habit and leayes the 
small-leaved Vacciniums; but the corolla (and the seeds) are of Agapetes. 
17. A. buxifolia, Nutt.; Hook. f. in Bot. Mag. t. 5012; leaves 1 in. 
elliptic crenate, peduncles 1-flowered, corolla 1 in. 
Buoran ` Duphla hills, Nuttall; Yeorsi, alt. 4500 ft., Lister. 
A shrub, 3-4 ft. Branches virgate, round, pilose. Leaves obtuse, narrowed at 
the base, glabrous.  Peduncles Y in., scattered among the leaves, pilose, little dilated 
at the apex. Calyx-teeth 1-3 in., lanceolate, softly pilose. Corolla tubular, little 
widened upwards, bright-red; lobes } in., lanceolate, paler or greenish. Anthers 
without spurs; filaments longer than usual in Agapetes. Fruit not seen. 
18. A. mitrarioides, Hook. f. ms. ; leaves 3-3 in. ovate toothed shining, 
peduncles 2-flowered, corolla 2-1 in. 
Misumt Mrs., Griffith (Kew Distrib. n. 3466). 
A small, much branched epiphyte. Branches rigid but slender, flexuous, round, 
hispid-pilose. Leaves hard, shining on both surfaces, acute, narrowed at the base, 
subpetioled; teeth rigid but few, shallow. Peduncles 3 in., axillary, scattered, few, 
lax, pendent, minutely pilose or glabrous, bifurcate into 2 pedicels 2 in. each; bracts 
inconspicuous. Calyx-teeth à in., lanceolate, glabrous or most minutely pilose, 
Corolla tubular, hardly at all widened upwards, bright-red ; lobes Z A in., triangular. 
Anthers not spurred.—A species remote in habit from all others of the genus. 
Seet. IV. Corolla straight, divided half way down or lower. Flowers 
corymbose or subfascicled. A
