slender. Cymes few-fid., peduncle 1-1 in., bracts small, pedicels very short. Sepals 
small, 3; in. Corolla-tube 1 in., very slender, lobes falcately linear-oblong. Filaments 
slender. Ovary narrowed, into a style much shorter than the tube, stigma large, 
2-partite. Follicles 4-1 by 4-4 in., 2-4-seeded, beak straight or upeurved. 
19. T. calycina, Wall. Cat. 1577, and in Bot. Reg. under t. 1273; 
glabrous, leaves elliptic-lanceolate obtusely acuminate, cymes short-peduncled, 
bracts subulate persistent, sepals linear-lanceolate acuminate very unequal, 
corolla-tube swollen above, ovary very short. Kurz For. FI. ii. 173. 
TENASSERIM; Gomez. 
Foliage similar to that of T. rostrata, but petioles rather longer; pedicels very 
short indeed; bracts sometimes linear-oblong and almost leafy in texture; sepals very 
much longer, one-third as long as the corolla-tube, which is very slender, $ in. long 
and swollen at the top; ovary not elongate, but almost hemispherie.—I have seen 
but one specimen. 
13. T. malaccensis, Hook. f.; glabrous, leaves elliptic-obovate or 
-lanceolate obtusely acuminate or caudate, cymes sessile or shortly peduncled 
few-fld., pedicels slender, bracts 0, sepals unequal subulate-lanceolate acuminate, 
corolla-tube slender inflated at the top, lobes narrow, follicles turgid recurved 
beaked 3-keeled few- or many-seeded. 
Maracca; Griffith, Maingay (Kew Distrib. 1061, 1062). 
A small shrub. Branches slender, very smooth. Leaves in flowering specimens 
3-4 by 1-14 in., very membranous, in the fruiting specimens shorter and broader in 
proportion sometimes nearly orbicular; nerves very slender, 6-8 pairs; petiole } in. 
Cymes very slender and few- or many-flowered, pedicels 1-1 in.; flowers small. 
Corolla-tube 2 in., lobes about as long, erumpled. Ovary short, top rounded ; style 
long, filiform. Follicles 3-1} in., more or less recurved. 
14. T. membranifolia, Kurz For. FI. ii. 175; glabrous, leaves elliptic- 
lanceolate caudate-acuminate very membranous, not paler beneath, cymes sub- 
sessile, bracts obsolete, sepals very small subulate, corolla-tube very slender 
inflated below the middle, Tw linear-lanceolate much shorter than the tube. 
ManTAZBAN ; forests east of Tounghoo, Kurz. 
An evergreen shrub, 3-4 ft. (Kurz). Leaves 3-5 by 1-1} in. tips very long, 
curved, nerves 7-8 pairs, very slender. Cymes short, many-flowered ; pedicels long 
or short. Sepals subequal. Corolla-tube ¥ in., lobes linear-lanceolate, acute, half as 
long as the tube or less, forming very long narrow buds. Ovary ovoid, acute; style 
filiform, top elongate-clavate, truncate, stigma slender. Follicles not seen. 
DOUBTFUL AND EXCLUDED SPECIES, 
T. FINLAYSONIANA, Wall. Cat. 4452, without flower or fruit, is probably a native 
of Siam, and is indeterminable, 
T. 1iNpiCA, Willd. Herb. in Steudel Nomenclator, cannot be determined without a 
reference to Willdenow’s herbarium, 
T. macrocarpa, Jack., is a native of Sumatra; and T. monocarpa, Steudel 
Nomenclator, is obviously a misprint for the same. 
T. PERSICARIÆFOLIA, Willd., Roxb. Fl. Ind. ii. 27, is a Mauritian plant, 
T. OPHIORHIZOIDES, Kurz For. Fl. ii. 175; a glabrous shrub, 2—4 ft., leaves 3-5 
in. obovate-oblong to broadly lanceolate shortly acuminate sessile or tapering into a 
petiole of 2-3 lines membranous pale beneath, cymes 2-3 rarely more in the forks of the 
upper branches, subsessile or shortly peduncled few-fld., pedicels 1-15 lines, bracts and 
bractlets minute deciduous, calyx 5-cleft very short, segments hardly 1 line lanceolate 
acute, corolla-tube about 4 lines rather thick, apex inflated, lobes hardly half as long 
as the tube.—Hill forests of Martaban, alt. 3—5000 ft. frequent.—I have seen no 
specimen. 
T. WALLICHIANA, Steudel Nomenclator (T. parvifolia, Roxb, Fl. ind, ii. 25; Wight 
Ic. t. 393, by error pauciflora in letterpress), is a native of Sumatra.
