« Allied apparently to I. polyanfka, Wight, Icon. t. 1066, but distiDguislied by its 

 much snialler leaves and flowers, and its glabrous corymbs.

Arbor parva, 10-20-pedalis. Folia 4-8 poll, longa, 1^4. poll. M^, petiolo 2-5 

 Im, iougo. Corymbi s^pe coccinei. Corolla alba, rubro-tincta, lohis circiter 2 liu. 

 longis, oblongis, acutiusculis ; tubo, var. a and ^, 7-14 liu. longo; var. 7, 2-3 liu. 

 longo. BaccdB subspha^ricie, atro-rubrse. 



liie short tube of the corolla in var. 7 gives it an appearance very different from 

 that of the other varieties, and further investigation may prove it to be specifically 

 oistinct ; but I can at present discover no other character of importance sufficient to 

 justify its separation as a species, and especially, too^ as a similar variation is observ- 

 able in Favcita Indica, L. 



4. 1. parviflora^ Vahl, (W. et A., 1. c. p. 429, cum syn. 5 Wight, Icon, 

 t./ 11.)— c.p. 2575.

A ar. ^ ; ramuUs foliisque utrinque velutinis. 



Hab. Not very uncommon up to an elevation of 3000 feet, Var, )3. 

 Hot drier parts of the island. 



In my specimens the stipules arc rounded and cuspidate, and the throat of the 

 corolla is not hairy, but I cannot doubt their being specifically identical with Rox- 

 horgh's plant.
