Ardisia. ] LXXXVIII. MYRSINEX. (C. B. Clarke.) 521 
$8 Leaves entire or obscurely crenulate. 
9. A. amplexicaulis, Bedd. Ic. Pl. Ind. Or. t. 170, and Fl. Sylv. Anal. 
Pl. t. 18, fig. 3; leaves short-petioled oblong acuminate base rounded, panicle 
simple or sparingly compound, pedicels umbelled minutely rusty. 
Wrsaap; Tirrihoot Hills, alt. 4000 ft., and TRAVANCORE ; Beddome. 
A shrub. Leaves 5 by 1} in., broadest above the middle, acuminate, glabrous, 
membranous, primary nerves inarching at a distance from the margin, prominently 
dotted near the margin; petiole }-} in. Panicle flowers and fruits asin A. zeylanica. 
— Though A. zeylanica has strongly toothed leaves narrowed to the petiole, it is, 
perhaps, only a form of A. amplexicaulis. 
10. A. divergens, Roxb. Fl. Ind. ed. Carey $ Wall. ii. 275; leaves 
elliptic or oblong, drying red-brown rhomboid or almost round at the base, panicle 
subsimple minutely rusty. Wall. Cat. 2269; A. DC. Prodr. viii. 130. 
punctata, Jack; Roxb. Fl. Ind. ed. Carey $ Wall. ii. 275 (not of Lindl.). A. 
punctulosa, Dietr. Syn. Pl. i. 615. 
Penano; Jack, Maingay.—Disrrip, Moluccas. 
A small tree, 20 ft.; branchlets slender, cylindric, much divided. Leaves 4l by 
1j in., subobtusely acuminate, glabrous, primary nerves arched, prominently dotted 
especially near the margin; petiole 2 in. Panicles 3 by 2 in.; bracts small or 
deciduous ; pedicels 4-4 in., subumbelled. Buds j in., and as much broad.  Calyz- 
lobes A in., round.—A. javanica (A. DC. Prod. viii. 130) only differs by having 
the branchlets upwards and panicle more rusty-pubescent. 
1l. A. Gardneri, Clarke; leaves elliptic or obovate-lanceolate narrowed 
at both ends drying black, panicle minutely-rusty, pedicels umbelled. A. diver- 
gens, Thwaites Enum. Pl. Zeyl. 174; A. DC. Prodr. viii, 130 partly. 
Cuxrow, frequent; Gardner, Thwaites, Kä? 
Very near 4. divergens and perhaps the Ceylon form of it. Leaves acute at the 
base. Calyx-teeth ovate, subacute, rather larger than in A. divergens. Flowers alto- 
gether as those of A. zeylanica (of which Thwaites reckons it a variety), and of 
A. amplexicaulis. 
19. A. andamanica, Kurz For. Fl. ii. 108, and in Journ. As. Soe. 
1877, pt. ii. 225; glabrous, leaves narrowly lanceolate base cuneate or rhom- 
boid, panicles thin subsimple, pedicels racemed. A, neriifolia, A. DC. Prodr. 
viii, 127 partly (not of Wail.). 
Maray PxxiNsULA, from Mergui to Malacca, frequent; ANDAMAN ISLANDS; Griffith, 
Kurz, &e. 
A shrub, 2-4 feet (Kurz). Leaves 5 by 1-1} in., acute, primary nerves not prominent, 
arching near the margin or not at all, sparsely dotted ; petiole in. Panicles 4 in., 
often divaricate or depauperated; bracts 0 or deciduous ; pedicels 1—3 in. Calyz- 
lobes 4, in., round, glabrous. Corolla & by j in.—This is not near A. oblonga, A. 
DC. (as Kurz supposed), but is that form of A. neriifolia, A. DC., which is said to have 
terminal inflorescence, aud which in fact specifically differs from the North Bengal 
A. nerüfolia of Wallieh. A. DC.’s figure ( Trans. Linn. Soc. xvii. t. 8) represents A. 
andamanica, while most of the description (“ panicles lateral peduncles and pedicels 
somewhat velvety ”) can apply only to neriifolia. 
Van. effusa ; leaves elliptic acuminate, panicle straggling, pedicels 3-3 in., buds 
} by 4 in.—Andamans ; Port Mouat, Kurz.—Kurz has issued this unnamed, as though 
he supposed it specifically different from his A. anda manica. 
13. A. tuberculata, Wall. Cat. 2274; leaves coriaceous elliptic narrowed 
to both ends, panicles compound glabrous or rusty-scaly, flowers numerous 
small A. DC. in Trans. Linn. Soc. xvii. 119, and Prodr. viii. 130. A. chryso- 
phylloides, Mig. Fl. Ind. Bat. Suppl. 574.
