Leaves 2 by Ẹ in., coriaceous; nerves 7 pairs, oblique to the midrib, slender or 
obscure. Panicles 3 by d in., rigid; branches in fruit 4-angled, stout.— This differs 
little from L. Roxburghii but by the non-lenticellate branches and smaller leaves, and 
is placed under L. Roxburghii by Beddome. 
6. L. Decaisnei, Clarke; branches lenticellate, leaves small elliptic 
acute at both ends, panicles small obscurely pubescent, corolla small tube 
scarcely as long as the calyx. L.neilgherrense, Dene. in Nouv. Arch. Mus. 2, ii.

Leaves ly by $ in. Panicles 2 by 1} in.— This appears as though a form of L. 
Walkeri with smaller leaves and panicles, but is founded on a plant once collected, 
the fruit unknown. ;

—.L. microphyllum, Bedd. For. Man. 154, from Coorg, is described with small leaves 
and pubescent panicle-branches, and is therefore perhaps nearer L, Decaisnei type. L. 
Walkeri only differs in its large diffuse panicles, 
7. L. compactum, H. f. $ 7.; Brand. For. Fi. 910; glabrous, leaves

Branches sparingly (or not) lenticellate, Leaves 4 by 1} in., acute, base cuneate

A small shrub; branchlets lenticellate, densely leafy. Leaves 3 by ġ in., tapering 
at each end, coriaceous ; nerves few, distant; petiole 2 in. Panicles 1-2 in. ; bracts

Berry glaucous, exceedingly like that of L. robustum, var. khasiana, of which this 
may be a narrow-leaved form.
