-Beawmontia.] xov. APocYNACEX. (J. D. Hooker.) 661 
Eastern HiMALAYA; from Nipal (Wallich) to Sikkim, ascending to 4000 ft. 
SILHET and CHITTAGONG. 
Stem woody, very stout and climbing high. Shoots rusty-pubescent. Leaves 1-12 
by 3-7 in., glabrous above, rarely tomentose beneath ; obovate-oblong, abruptly 
acuminate; nerves 7-16 pairs, arching; petiole 3-1 in. Cymes few- or many-fid., 
pedicels and calyx tomentose. Calya-lobes very variable, from oblong-lanceolate to 
obovate or oblanceolate, acuminate. Corolla 3-5 in. long, glabrous or pubescent ; 
lobes 1 in. rounded, except the tip. Anthers $ in. long. Ripe carpels very variable 
in length and breadth, turgid, densely fleshy, green, with a thick hard spongy 
yellowish polished endocarp. Seeds $ in. long, coma twice as long. 
2. B. Jerdoniana, Wight Ic. t. 1314, 5; leaves nearly glabrous beneath, 
calyx-lobes $-1 in. long, corolla between broadly campanulate and funnel- 
shaped, lobes acuminate, follicles 10 by 1} in. cylindric. 
Deccan PENINSULA ; on the Western Ghats from the Concan southwards, Wight, &c. 
This so closely resembles B. grandiflora in all respects but the corolla, the rather 
smaller size of all its parts, and the form of the follicles, that I suspect it will 
have to be ranked as a variety. 
3. B. khasiana, Hook. f. ; leaves obovate or elliptic acuminate tomen- 
tose beneath, calyx-lobes 4 in., corolla broadly campanulate, lobes equalling the 
tube and throat rounded not acuminate. 
Kuasia Mrs. ; Nungklow, Lobb. 
The general habit of this is that of B. grandiflora, but the old leaves are broader, 
8-10 by 4-44 in., more elliptic, the peduncle and pedicels are much longer, and the 
flowers very short; the corolla-tube and throat are together not 2 in. long, whilst the 
limb is 4 in. in diameter, with quite rounded lobes. It is very near the Javanese B. 
multiflora, Teijsm & Binn., which is intermediate between this and B. Jerdoniana ; 
all may be varieties of one, but without the fruit this cannot be determined. 
30. CHONEMORPHA, G. Don. 
Climbing stout shrubs. Leaves opposite, broad; nerves distant, arching. 
Flowers large, white, in lax terminal and pseudo-axillary cymes. Calyx 5-cleft 
or -partite, with a ring of glands within. Corolla salver-shaped, tube very 
short ; throat long, tubular, naked ; lobes broad, obliquely obcuneate, overlapping 
to the right, twisted sharply to the left. Stamens at the top of the tube, fila- 
ments short, broad, villous ; anthers sagittate, elongate, pungent, conniving over 
and adhering to the stigma, cells shortly spurred below. Dise thick, annular or 
cupular. Carpels 2, distinct, many-ovuled ; style filiform, base cleft, top globose 
or hemispheric, stigma conoid or subclavate. ollicles long, straight, hard, 
parallel, 3-gonous, Seeds ovoid or oblong, flat, shortly beaked, coma long, 
albumen thin; cotyledons oblong flat, radicle short.—Disrrip. Species 2, 
Indian and Malayan.
