524 LXXXVIII. MYRSINEEX. (C. B. Clarke.) [ Ardisia. 
A. humilis, var., Thwaites Enum. Pl. Zeyl. 174.—Ceylon; Gardner, Thwaites, n. 
2829.— This is, perhaps, distinct from 4. Moonii, but it can hardly be A. humilis ; 
not only is the inflorescence widely different, but the sepals are quite small, not con- 
cave with membranous margins on the fruit. 
22, A. macrocarpa, Wail. in Roxb. Fl. Ind. ed. Carey & Wall. ii. 277, 
and Cat. 2267; leaves narrowly lanceolate crenulate, umbels subterminal some- 
times also from the upper axils and then peduncled, pedicels 1-3 in. A. DC. 
Prodr. viii, 134. 
Nirat; Wallich. Sıxxım and BnorAw; alt. 3-7000 ft., frequent, J. D. H., &e. 
A shrub, 1-4 ft. Leaves 4-5 by } in., acute at both ends, glabrous, membranous, 
crisped-crenulate with a marginal row of dots; petiole very short or obscured by the 
long-attenuated base of the leaf. Peduncles subterminal and short, or lateral 1—4 in. 
without leaves or leaf-like bracts at their apex; pedicels minutely rusty. Calyx- 
lobes LA in., in fruit sometimes } in., narrowly oblong. Petals exceeding } in., 
lanceolate acute. Berries j—4 in. wide, globose depressed, bright red, dotted, not 
vertically striated—Both A. DC. and Kurz supposed this near A. crispa, which has 
smaller berries and quite different inflorescence, the lateral umbels being sessile, i.e. 
supported by large leaves. e 
23. A. virens, Kurz For. Fl. ii. 575, and in Journ. As. Soc. 1877, pt. ii. 
226; leaves broadly lanceolate acuminate margins crisped-crenulate, peduncles 
subterminal exceedingly long, pedicels 1 in. Ardisia sp. n. 37, Herb. Ind. Or.

Misumen, Griffith (Kew Distrib. n. 3561). Assam; Griffith. Kuasia Mrs., alt. 
4000 ft., H. f. & T., &c. Cacnar; Doorbund Pass, Keenan.—DisTRIB. Yunan. 
A small shrub, resembling much A. macrocarpa. Leaves 7 by 2 in., more 
acuminate than those of 4. macrocarpa, and without the marginal row of glands. 
Peduncles 1-2 in., carrying simple or compound glabrous umbels with numerous 
flowers. Calyx-lobes i in., elliptic-oblong. Corolla-lobes + in., ovate, acute, white 
(Kurz). Berry 4-} in., globose, smooth, dotted not vertically striated, yellow. 
*** Umbels sessile, simple or compound, terminal, mostly on divaricate 
branches springing laterally below the end of the main branches. 
24. A. undulata, Clarke; glabrous, leaves lanceolate acute crenulate, 
calyx-lobes in fruit narrowly-oblong, berries large. Ardisia sp. n. 41, Herb.

Kuasia Mrs.; alt. 250-5000 ft., frequent; Griffith, H. f. & T., &c. 
Leaves 54 by lj in. acute at both ends. undulate-crenate, membranous, with 
prominent glands scattered distantly over the whole surface. Umbels simple and 
compound ; pedicels $-1 in. in fruit. Buds [in., acute. Calyx-lobes + in., ovate ; 
in fruit 4 in., oblong. Berry 4-4 in., globose, gland-dotted, not vertically striated, 
altogether as of 4. macrocarpa.—This is perhaps only a northern form of A. crenata, 
differing by the long acute leaves, and large berry ; and was the plant which (under 
the mistaken name of A. macrocarpa) Kurz proposes to merge in A. crenata. 
25. A. crenata, Roxb. Fl. Ind. ed. Carey § Wail. ii, 276 ; glabrous, leaves 
elliptic acute or subobtuse crisped-crenate, berries ł in. diam. globose obscurely 
vertically striate not dotted. Wall. Cat. 2262; Bot. Mag. t. 1950. A glandu-
