a less slender corolla, and fruit carpels not half as long; and is only known in culti- 
vation in India. 
30. J. subglandulosum, Kurz in Trimen Journ. Bot. 1875, p. 329, 
and For. Fi. ii. 151; glabrous, leaves large obovate-oblong shortly acuminate, 
racemes axillary very lax, calyx broad teeth very short, corolla-tube 3-8 in., 
lobes half as long obovate-oblong blunt. 
SOUTH ANDAMAN; Kurz. Precu and Txnasserm™, in the tropical forests not in- 
requent (Kurz). 
Seandent. Leaves 7 by 21 in., base obtusely cuneate, membranous; nerves 10 
pairs, secondary distinct. Flowers white; bracts minute, subulate. Curpels } by 4 
in., ellipsoid.—Deseription chiefly from Kurz, as his example is very imperfect ; the 
inflorescence appears strictly eymose, as in the two preceding species ` there is nothing 
in the material or description to show that it differs from J. attenuatum but in the 
somewhat larger leaves. 
31. J. smilacifolium, Griff. ms.; glabrous, leaves large ovate acute 
coriaceous 3-nerved, cymes axillary and terminal stout compound, calyx-teeth 
short thick triangular, flowers and fruits large. 
Maracca ; Griffith (Kew Distrib. n. 3698), Maingay. 
A large climber. Leaves 7 by 33 in., base obtuse or almost cordate, very thick, 
secondary nerves thin distinct; petiole 3 in. Cymes 5-20-flowered, not lax; bracts 
3g in., lanceolate; pedicels 1-1 in.  Calyz-teeth 45 in. Corolla white tinged with 
pink, tube 1-1 in., lobes $ by $ in. acute. Carpels 1 by 4-2 in.; pedicels often 
greatly enlarged, à in. diam. below the fruit.—This has been supposed a var. merely 
of J. crassifolium, Blume, which however has smaller obseurely 3-nerved leaves, and 
the cymes much slenderer, with pedicels often 2 in. 
** Leaves (some of them) compound: in J. auriculatum and brevilobum 
often in appearance simple, the lateral leaflets being only occasionally present 
and then exceedingly small. (The series proceeds from the less- to the more- 
compound-leaved species.) 
32. J. auriculatum, Vahl Symb. iii. 1; leaves mostly simple ovate 
some 3-foliolate the lateral leaflets mere auricles, cymes compound many-flowered, 
corolla-tube 1—3 in. Roxb. Hort. Beng. 3, and Fl. Ind. ed. Carey & Wall. i. 963

Deccan PrENiNsULA and CEvLowN, common (cultivated in Scinde, North-west India, 
Bengal, Siam and Mauritius). 
Seandent ; pubescent or villous, sometimes nearly glabrous. Leaves (when simple 
and the terminal leaflets) 1 by $ in., shortly acute or hardly acuminate, base obtuse 
or rounded, ashy-pubescent sometimes glabrescent; nerves few, lowest oblique; 
lateral leaflets when present rarely exceeding 3 in. diam. Cymes terminal, paniculate, 
grey-pubescent ; bracts j in. linear; pedicels 0-} in. Calya-teeth minute, narrowly 
oblong. Corolla-lobes X in., elliptic. Carpels } in. diam., globose, black.— The J. 
mauritianum, Bojer, reduced to J. auriculatum by Baker (Fl. Maurit. 220) has the 
leaves subequally 3-foliolate, the corolla-tube nearly 1 in. J. affine, Wight, with the 
` style half as long as corolla-tube, and J. ovatifolium, Wight, with the stigmas ex- 
serted, are dimorphic forms.
