3-5 by 14-13 in., very membranous; nerves 7-10 pairs, very faint. Cymes with the 
main branches an inch long widely divaricating from the base, some decurved; 
flowers pedicelled, ei in. long. Calyx very small, many times shorter than the 
-corolla-tube. Corolla-lobes very small. Fruit not seen.—This is closely allied to R. 
-serpentina, differing in the inflorescence, smaller flowers, and ealyx. 
** Corolla-tube broad, inflated at the top. 
3. R. densiflora, Benth. in Gen. Pl. ii. 697 ; leaves obovate or oblanceo- 
late acuminate, nerves 8-16 pairs, cymes short- or long-peduncled or corymbose 
erect or spreading in fruit, sepals elongate subulate-lanceolate half the length of 
the broadly tubular corolla-tube which is inflated at the top, drupes 3-3 in.

A larger shrub than R. serpentina ; branches copiously lenticellate. Leaves often 
4 in a whorl, very variable in size, 4-10 by 2-3 in., and number and stoutness 
of nerves. Cymes often numerous, dichotomously branched, branches and pedicels 
erect; flowers rose-red or white, E in. long. Calyx-lobes $-} in. Corolla-lobes 
rounded, nearly as long as the tube. Drupes very rugose.

The specimens are most wretched, consisting of two fragments of branches with 
:3 or 4 broken leaves and a fruiting cyme from which the solitary drupe (much eaten by 
insects) is detached. 
5. R. decurva, Hook. f.; leaves small oblanceolate acuminate, cymes 
shortly peduncled decurved few-flowered, calyx-lobes lanceolate half as long as 
the broad corolla-tube which is inflated at the top, drupes 4 in. 
Deccan PrNiNSULA ; Canara and the Concan, Poonah, Stocks; Mundeel, Ritchie. 
A shrub, 6 ft.; branches stout, dichotomous, lenticellate, leafy at the tips only. 
Leaves 4 in a whorl, in crowded whorls, 1-14 by j-$ in., drying brownish-green. 
Cymes short, peduncle 1-1 in., 2-6-flowered, sometimes branched from the base; 
flowers À in. long, white to pink.  Calya-lobes lanceolate, half the length of the 
corolla-tube. Corolla-lobes rounded, almost as long as the tube.—This may be a 
state of R. densiflora, but if so it is a very singular one, easily distinguished by the 
small leaves crowded at the tips of the woody branches, the decurved peduncles, and 
small flowers. 
6. R. micrantha, Hook. f.; leaves elliptic-lanceolate or oblanceolate 
acuminate, cymes with long slender erect peduncles few-fld., calyx-lobes tri- 
angular-ovate, corolla very small tube slightly swollen at the top, lobes small, 
drupes } in. obliquely ovate acute. Ophioxylon micranthum, Wight mss.
