A scandent shrub; branches glabrous. Leaves.3 by 1} in., shining base, cuneate 
or rhomboid, denticulations shallow but sharp, mostly in the upper part of the 
leaf, nerves conspicuous; petiole 4-} in., glabrous. ` Facemes 4-1] in. Petals

17. E. nutans, Wall. in Roxb. Fl. Ind. ed. Carey & Wall. ii. 291, and 
Cat. 9303 ; leaves oblong subobtusely acuminate pubescent or rusty puberulous 
on the midrib beneath entire or obscurely bluntly crenulate, base rounded, 
racemes short simple rusty-pubescent, petals twisted in bud. A. DC. Prodr.

Branches rusty-pubescent, at least towards the tips. Petioles rusty-pilose, or 
pubescent, or ultimately glabrescent. Facemes flowers and fruits as in E. vestita, 
with which it is united by Kurz; but there is no difficulty in distinguishing it. 
18. E. Gardneriana, Wight Ic. t. 1908; leaves ovate-lanceolate cre- 
nate-serrate beautifully reticulated, racemes shortened almost to fascicles rusty- 
hairy.

A large climber; branchlets rusty-hairy. Leaves 23 by 3-1} in., from ovate to 
lanceolate, base rounded, rusty-pilose on the midrib beneath or altogether glabrous, 
shining, coriaceous, nerves much raised on the upper surface ; petiole } in. Pedicels 
i-i in., subumbellulate from imbricated small bracts. Petals } in., oblong, dotted. 
Ovary +; in., ovoid-conic, long beaked. Berry 4-3 in. diam., globose.—No buds seen, 
but from the conically beaked ovary it may be inferred that the petals were twisted in 
bud, and that the species is a near ally of E. vestita. 
IMPERFECTLY KNOWN SPECIES. 
E.? Lucma, Wall. Cat. 2315; leaves 3 by 1} in, broadly oblong suddenly nar- 
rowed at both ends entire glabrous coriaceous, racemes l in. axillary simple solitary 
or paired rusty-villous. A. DC. Prodr. viii. 87.—SINGAPORE, Wallich.—Certainly of 
this genus. 
Kansas, sp, Griff. Notul. iv. 223; leaves ovate-lanceolate glabrous in age sub- 
spinosely toothed, panicles axillary and terminal, corolla rotate ó-partite. Mour- 
MEIN ; plentiful, Griffith.— Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. 1877, pt. ii. 223, proposes doubt- 
fully to reduce this to E. Ribes; but the subspinously toothed leaves will not allow 
this. 
CHORIPETALUM, Griff. Ic. Pl. Asiat. t. 499; branches pubescent, leaves lanceolate 
acute at both ends entire pubescent, panicles axillary longer than the leaves.—Pat- 
kove Mrs., south-east of Assam; Griffith.— Assuming that the branches and leaves 
are glabrous, this might be Æ. floribunda. 
CnoRIPETALUM Sp., Griff. Jc. Pl. Asiat. t. 500 ; leaves lanceolate acuminate serrate, 
base cuneate or rhomboid, panicles axillary shorter than the leaves, flowers 4-merous, 
several 5-merous.—Mismwkr; Griffith.
