A small tree; sometimes 40 ft. in Sikkim. Leaves 3} by 3 in., usually obtuse or 
rounded at the base, coriaceous; nerves slender or distinct; petiole à in. Panicles 
1-5 in.; bracts 0 or linear, caducous; bracteoles minute. Corolla X in., wider than 
in Z. robustum.—This previous to Decaisne's memoir, was confounded with L. robus- 
tum which (except as to the fruit) it greatly resembles. In flower it differs from the 
Bengal typical L. robustuz in the more obtusely-based leaves, the sessile crowded . 
flowers, and the broader corolla. It only differs from L. spicatum in the absence of 
persistent leaflike bracts in the panicle. Simons’ specimen is named L. compactum by 
Decaisne, but it has a pubescent panicle, and the leaves do not show the prominent 
numerous nerves characteristic of L. compactum.

Only separable'from L. confusum by the bracts interspersed among the panicle 
branches being petiolate, often 14 by 4 in., coriaceous, persistent. The type examples 
of L. nepalense and grandiflorum in herb, Wallich, and of Z. Awmaonense in herb. 
Strach. & Winterb. all exhibit these bracts, which are not seen in the Khasian ZL. 
confusum.—L. nepalense, B var. glabra (Bot. Mag. t. 2921), is L. lucidum, and re- 
ceived from the Caleutta garden, it is not an Indian plant.

A small ramous shrub; branchlets hairy. Leaves 1-$ by AS in., glabrous, 
coriaceous; nerves obscure; petiole à in. Panicles (nearly always reduced to 
racemes) 3—10-flowered, less than 4 in, diam. in flower; rhachis verrucose hardly 
hairy; flowers sessile; in the penultimate axils are often added solitary short-pedi- 
celled flowers (or raceme with foliaceous bracts in its lower part). Corolla à in., tube 
a little longer than the calyx.

Large scandent shrubs; branches 4-angular. eaves opposite, large, coria-

4-lobed. Corolla-tube longer than the calyx; lobes 4, concave, oblong or 
spathulate, induplicate-valvate in bud. Stamens 2, on the corolla-tube, fila-
