10, J. Roxburghianum, Wall. Cat, 2870; leaves elliptic-oblong softly 
hairy, cymes trichotomous very hairy, calyx-teeth minute narrowly triangular 
villous, corolla-lobes usually as long as the tube. DC. Prodr. viii. 314.

Perhaps a var. of J. arborescens, but much more hairy, and with shorter calyx- 
teeth. Leaves not acuminate, sometimes obtuse, base broadly cuneate or scarcely 
rounded, mature softly hairy on both surfaces, Cyme somewhat lax, many-flowered. 
Calyx densely fulvous-villous teeth ;L— in. Corolla and fruit as in J. arborescens. 
ll. J. syringwfolium, Wall. Cat. 2861; leaves ovate-lanceolate acu- 
minate glabrous, cymes lax trichotomous minutely pubescent, calyx-teeth short 
linear erect pubescent, corolla-lobes shorter than the tube. DC. Prodr. viii. 306.

Scandent; branchlets glabrescent. Leaves 4 by 1} in., broadly cuneate or the 
lower leaves rounded at the base, coriaceous; nerves 8-5 pairs, prominent beneath ; 
petiole 1-3 in. mostly pubescent. Cymes terminal and axillary, 12-20-flowered ` 
bracts t in., linear; pedicels 1-3 in.  Calya-teeth ZA in. Corolla-tube 2 in.; lobes 
scarcely } in., narrow, acute. Fruit-carpels 2 by 4 in., unsymmetrie, ellipsoid. Kurz 
(Journ. As. Soc. 1877, pt. ii. 242) refers this species to J. scandens, which has the 
cymes much denser, the calyx-teeth divaricate, the corolla-tube shorter.
