408 RUBIACEX. | Hepyotis. | | 
S 2. Calyz-limb deeply A-cleft ; segments lanceolate with their apices recurved when 
in fruit : disk of the ovary pubescent or hairy: epicarp rather dry : cocci between 
bony and crustaceous, opening on their inner face. Flowers corymbose. 
1250. (4) H. (D.) frutieosa (Linn.:) somewhat shrubby, glabrous: leaves 
petioled, oblong-lanceolate, attenuated at the apex, acuminated at the base, 
with numerous line-like simple nearly straight nerves: stipules triangular- 
ovate, cuspidate, with small gland-like teeth along the margin: flowers co- 
tymbose ; corymb about 5-rayed, with two small leaves at its base: calyx- 
limb deeply 4-cleft ; segments linear-lanceolate, in fruit erect with the points 
bent outwards: corolla externally glabrous, bearded in the mouth : filaments 
at length exserted : capsule oblong, dicoccous.—Lam. ill. t. 62. f. 1 ?—H. ca- 
pitellata, Wall. L. n. 837. b, c ( p. 213).—Burm. Zeyl. t. 107.—« ; calyx, fruit, 
and rays of the corymb glabrous.— Wight! cat.n. 1292.—5 ; calyx, fruit, and 
rays of the corymb hispid with short spreading hairs.— Wight! cat. n. 1292. b. 
The specimens distributed by Dr Wallich, as n. 837, b, do not correspond 
to that letter at p. 213, but to ** 2, Penang,” at p. 24 of his List: both b and 
c at p. 213 were named by the missionaries H. fruticosa, and our specimens 
are from the same source. In our specimen of z, the filaments are very con- 
spicuous ; in that of £ they are very short, but we are inclined to refer that 
difference to the different state of the blossoms we have examined. 
1251. (5) H. (D.) pruinosa (W. & A.:) somewhat shrubby : stems terete 
and branches angled, glabrous: leaves petioled, oblong-lanceolate, acuml- 
nated at both ends, glabrous, with several (not numerous) line-like slightly - 
curved nerves: stipules pinnatifid, the segments filiform: flowers in muc 
, branched terminal panicled trichotomous corymbs ; their branches, with the 
calyx and corolla minutely pubescent: calyx-limb 4-partite ; segments ob- 
long-laneeolate, in fruit recurved: corolla hairy in the mouth: filaments 
Short?: capsule densely covered with’ short pruinose somewhat mealy pu- 
_ bescence, dicoccous,—2; ; stipules short (roundish-ovate) ; capsules shortly 
turbinate.— Wight! cat. n. 1293.—H. corymbosa, herb. Madr. ! (not Sm., nor 
Old. corymbosa, Linn.); Wall! L. n. 6202, a.—58 ; stipules elongated (ob- . 
long-lanceolate) ; capsule nearly globose.— Wight! cat. n. 1293, b.—H. co- 
rymbosa, Wall.! L. n. 6202, b. : 
In the very few corollas we have found on our specimens, the filaments 
were short and inconspicuous ; but in others they may be perhaps elongated. 
§ 3. Calyz-limb 4-partile ; segments lanceolate or long-linear, spreading or recurved 
when T fruit: epicarp dry: cocci crustaceous or slightly bony, opening at length 
on their inner face. Flowers capitate, sessile, terminal or axillary. 
1252. (6) H. macrophylla (Wall.:) stems stout, acutely 4-angled, glabrous: 
leaves petioled, oval, slightly pointed at both ends; upper side scabrous, 
under slightly puberulous particularly on the nerves: flowers axillary, very 
crowded and forming dense globose sessile heads in the axils of the leaves 
and about half the length of the petioles: fruit obovoid, crowned with the — 
spreading segments of the calyx, and with them hispidly pubescent, dicoccous.

p. : 
As we have not seen the specimen from the Madras herbarium united to 
this plant by Dr Wallich, we have taken our description from one in 
Hooker's herbarium from Pulo-Penang: it is destitute of flowers, 5° that we 
are a little uncertain about its affinities; we have brought it here principally 
from the dehiscence of the capsule.—To this subsection belongs H. uncinella, 
Hook. and Arn.! in Bot. Beech. voy. p. 192, and H. cephalophora, Brown. — 
Wall.! L. n. 842, if indeed this last, from Silhet, be really a distinct species — — 
from the former. vé
