nora. TETRANDRIA MONOGYNIA- 391 
< Obs. Velil's&gure of I. parviflora, Symbol. Bot. iii. t. 52, is much 
like this plant ; his description however agrees better with what I 
have always considered to be his parviffora aud which is so labelled 
in Sir Joseph Banks's herbarium. ‘They differ in the following 
respects. That (I. parviflora) is a tree, this a shrub; in that the 
leaves are linear oblong with a cordate base, of a much firmer 
texture, and more polished; in this they taper for two-thirds of 
their Jength to the base (hence the specific name cuneifolia.) lu 
that the seginents of the calyx are short and obtuse, i in this long and 
acute. In that the berries are round and black; m this shori, tuc- 
. binate and red. The corymbs also differ somewhat. In both ide 
the aeo are age but in this much larger.

. Shrubby. Leaves short-petioled, lanceolar. Panicles brachiate, 
with remote, diverging branches. 
- A stout shrub, a native of the forests of Bengal. In the Botanic 
Garden it tlowers in March, and the seeds ripen in May. 
— Trunk erect. Branches opposite, spreading much, but they are not 
so numerous as in I, parviflora. Bark brown, and pretty smooth.— 
Leaves opposite, short-petioled, lanceolar, obtuse, smooth, of a hard 
texture, from four to six inches long, by less than two broad.— Sti- 
pules triangular, acute.— Panicles terminal, brachiate ; rami; 
few, remote on iong, round, smooth. glacies c Fiber Hümer- 
ous, minute, much smaller than in I. parviflora.—Calyx small, deeply 
four-tootlied, coloured.—Corol with a filiform tube ; segments of the 
border obovate, emarginate.— Filaments none. Anthers linear, at- 
— tached by their backs-to the bottom of the fissures of the border of 
^ the corol.— Germ. turbinate, two-celled, with one seed in eae , at- 
‘tached to the partition. Style scarcely longer than the tube. ‘Stigma 
large, two-lobed.-— Berry the size of a large pea, smooth, succulent, 
dark. brown purple, twoscelled.— Seeds solitary, row bd, con 
the outside concave, with a pit on tlie inner. . eri
