6. A. odorata, Hall. Cat. 1606; bark red, leaves — and 3 in a 
whorl, elliptic or obovate obtuse or obtusely acuminate s ining above with 
numerous raised nearly horizontal nerves, ripe carpels fleshy. A. DC. Prodr. 
viii. 847 ; Miquel Fl. Ind. Bat. ii. 408. 
Trnassert™ ; between Chappedong and Amherst, Wallich. 
Leaves 3-5 by 14-2 in., narrowed into the very short petiole, yellow when dry ; 
‘nerves almost imperceptible beneath. Flowers not seen. Ripe carpels % in. long, 
‘stipitate, ellipsoid.—This differs from A. stellata in the coriaceous foliage and larger 
varpels. A piece of the old wood in Wallich's Herbarium is covered with smooth sealing 
very dark-brown bark. Kurz (in Journ. As. Soc. 1877, ii. 251) refers this to A. 
stellata, but the fruit is very much larger than that of his own deseription of the 
latter species. 
7. A. stellata, Roem. $ Sch. Syst. iv. 439 ; quite glabrous, bark very white 
quite glabrous, leaves 3-4 in a whorl elliptic-lanceolate or oblong or obovate 
obtuse or obtusely acuminate shining above, nerves numerous very slender 
nearly horizontal, eymes shortly peduncled nodding panicled, corolla-tube A in. 
long. Roxb. Fl. Ind. i. 699, and ed. Wall. & Carey, ii. 589, A. DC. Prodr.

A shrub; branches slender, smooth. Leaves 2-5 by 1-1} in., thinly coriaceous, 
green when dry, pale beneath, narrowed into a petiole 4 in. long. Cymes short but 
effuse; bracts short, ovate ; flowers very shortly pedicelled, pure white. Calyx deeply 
9-lobed, lobes acute.  Corolla-tube cylindric, slender, lobes short, rounded, Ripe 
carpels ellipsoid, stipitate, “size of a cherry,” Roxb., or “of a small pea,” Kurz, 
yellowish, sometimes with a second superposed.—I am not convinced of the identity 
‘of this with the original species of New Caledonia, which has more obovate leaves. 
8. A. fascicularis, Benth. in Gen. Pl ii. 698 (under deo ; bark 
pale warted, leaves opposite or 3 in a whorl elliptic-oblong or -lanceolate ob- 
tusely caudate shining above with numerous parallel very slender raised nerves, 
cymes very shortly peduncled decurved dense-fld. glabrous or puberulous, corolla- 
tube A in. long. Hunteria ? fascicularis, Wall. Cat. 1612; A. DC. Prodr. viii.

A woody climber, branches slender or stout. Leaves 3 3 by 1-14 in., coriaceous, 
green or pale brown when dry; nerves very faint beneath; petiole distinct, } in. 
Cymes $-1 in. long, dense-fld.; flowers racemose, very shortly peduneled ; bracts 
acute, Calyx-lobes ovate, acute. Corolla-lobes small, rounded. Fruit not ssen.— The 
‘short corolla at once distinguishes this from A. stellata. 
9. A. ceylanica, Wight Ic. t. 1293; glabrous, branches slender, leaves 
"opposite or 3 in a whorl broadly elliptic obtusely caudate membranous not 
shining, nerves distant arched, flowers solitary or 2-3-nate long pedicelled, 
carpels often moniliform. Thwaites Enum. 191; Beddome For. Fl. 158, t. 20,

Shrubby, erect ?; branches dichotomous, 4-angled. — Leaves 2-3 by 1-1} in., 
drying green, base narrowed into a short slender petiole, midrib slender; nerves 
S-10 pairs, extremely faint and slender. Pedicels A in. straight, slender. Calyx- 
lobes lanceolate, acute, many times shorter than the corolla. Corolla yellowish, tube 
3 in, very slender, funnel-shaped above, glabrous without, villous within ; lobes 
Janeeolate, acuminate, half the length of the tube, Carpels fleshy, scarlet, sometimes
