the plant described by Roth, as he says the bracts were linear. The example of J. 
multiflorum in Herb. Roxb. is J. pubescens. ; 
Var. bracteata, Roxb. Hort. Beng. 3, Fl. Ind. ed. Carey & Wall. i. 92 (sp.); leaves 
somewhat bifarious, bracts linear small, calyx-teeth 1—1 in., corolla-tube ji-$ in.

This was supposed allied to or a var. of J. bifarium, from which it does not much 
differ but by the longer calyx-teeth. The corolla-tube, which is figured as very 
short in Roxburgh's drawing, is ł in. in some of Wallich’s specimens. 
4. J. coarctatum, Roxb. Hort. Beng. 9, and Fl. Ind. ed. Carey & Wall. 
i. 91; leaves elliptic acute nearly glabrous, petioles jointed, flower-heads solitary 
or subpaniculate, bracts prominent white ovate-lanceolate, calyx-teeth linear 
hairy. DC. Prodr. viii. 308 ; Kurz For. Fl. ii. 153, and in Journ. As. Soc. 1877,

From Assam to Pear, alt. 0-8000 ft., frequent; Wallich, Griffith, &c. 
Scandent ; branchlets hairy. Leaves 44 by 2 in., usually acuminate, base obtuse 
or rounded, midrib above pilose or glabrous, often tufted in the axils of the nerves 
beneath, membranous, secondary nervation somewhat prominent; petiole KA in. 
Cymes dense, many-flowered, rusty-pubescent ; bracts 4-1 in., petaloid, acuminate, 
often ciliate or pilose. Flowers white. Calya-teeth LA in.  Corolla-tube 1-1} in.; 
lobes 4-4 in., oblong, acute. Carpels 4 by 4 in., and upwards. 
5. J. Rottlerianum, Wail, Cat. 2865 ; leaves elliptic acute softly hairy 
on both surfaces or glabrate, petioles jointed, flower-heads solitary or subpanicu- 
late, bracts prominent white ovate-lanceolate, calyx-teeth linear hairy. DC.

Mrs. of the Deccan PENINSULA; from the Conean to Travancore, alt. 2—5000 ft., 
frequent; Heyne, &c. 
Seandent; branchlets, inflorescence and bracts villous. Leaves often subcordate 
at the base, adult very villous. Corolla-tube 1 in., and more in Wight's examples. 
Fruit-carpels 4 by 4 in.—This type form looks, from its hairiness, very distinct from 
J. coarctatum. 
Var. glabrior ; adult leaves glabrous or nearly so, inflorescence shortly pubescent, 
corolla-tube 3 in. slender.—Travancore; Wight.—This is referred by Wallich to 
J. Rottlerianum, and there are examples intermediate in hairiness; but it is very 
difficult to say how it differs from J. courctatum, except that the flowers are rather 
smaller. Kurz (For. Fl. ii. 153, and in Journ. As. Soc. 1877, pt. ii. 242) has a J. 
Rottlerianum from Pegu, with adult leaves nearly glabrous, and the corolla-tube only 
3 in. long ; this plant cannot therefore resemble very closely the typical J. Hottleria- 
num, which has a tube 1-1} in.; but possibly J. coarctatum and Rottlerianum should 
be united. 
Var. Thwaitesii ; leaves oblong acuminate nearly glabrous, corolla-tube 1-1} in., 
carpels } in. diam. globose. J. rigidum, Thwaites Enum. 190, not of Zenk.— Ceylon ; 
Thwaites, C.P. n. 1809. Nilgherries, alt. 4—7000 ft., frequent, Clarke.— Branchlets 
terete, pubescent. Leaves sometimes cordate at the base.  Zracts several, ovate-lan- 
ceolate, whitish. Caly«-teeth 4-3 in., linear.— This is a very difficult plant as may 
be guessed from Thwaites referring his specimen (though much twining) to J. rigidum. 
It does not differ much from J. Rottlerianum, var. glabrior (of which the fruit has 
not been seen): its small fruit is very unlike that of J. coarctatum.

whitened, calyx-teeth long subulate patently fulvous-pilose,
