430 ` RUBIACEA. Ixona. 
little falcate, slightly pubescent: ovary crowned with a series of fleshy 
sphacelate bristles round the inside of the limb of the calyx: filaments 
shortly exserted ; anthers long-linear, the base bifid and ending in 2 subulate 
spine-like processes; style much exserted; divisions of the stigma long-li- 
near, spreading: berry somewhat didymous.—2«; leaves narrow-lanceolate, 
much acuminated, quite glabrous. — Wight! cat. n. 1340.—1. lanceolaria,

These two varieties agree in all the remarkable points of structure, and on- 
ly differ in pubescence and shape of the leaves, characters of minor import- 
ance. We hope that we have at length found a resting place for Rheede's 
figure, which, along with Plunkenet's t. 109. f. 2, were adduced by Linnseus 
under his J. alba: may not our var. £. be likewise the Linnsan plant?; no 
specimens of it exist in his own herbarium, so that Hermann's must settle the 
dispute ; Smith considers it to have been taken up from Rheede's figure. re 
alba of Roxburgh (in E. I. C. mus. tab. 911), and Wall. ! L. n. 6122, appears 
to be, as Roxburgh himself supposes, a white flowered state of J. stricta.

Of this we have not seen the letter a, but have already hinted that it may 
be the same as I. cuneifolia, Wight's cat. n. 1338: of b, Dr Hooker has 
obligingly sent us his specimen for examination, but as it is very imperfect, 
.'we cannot determine to which it ought to be referred. We may remark here 
that there is some confusion about Dr Wallich's synonyms: thus, he quotes 
in this place the J. stricta of Wight’s herbarium: now, we have before us 
specimens corresponding to what was so named and sent, and these are the 
same with Pavetta Wightiana, Wall.! (a mere narrow-leaved state of Stylo- 
coryne Webera.)

XXIV. PAVETTA. Linn.; Gertn. fr. 1. t. 25. 
Calyx-tube ovate; limb small, 4-toothed. Corolla hypocrateriform ; tube 
cylindrical or clavate, longer then the 4-partite limb: lobes spreading, more 
orless unequal. Anthers 4, somewhat sessile in the throat of the corolla. 
Style filiform, at length much exserted and longer than the corolla, entire, 
clavate. Stigma undivided. Berry drupaceous, crowned with the persistent 
limb of the calyx, globose, 2-celled: cells 1-seeded. Albumen cartilaginous, 
solid.. Embryo dorsal, erect, ineurved: cotyledons foliaceous: radicle long- 
—Shrubs. Leaves opposite. Stipules with a subulate point. Corymbs ter- 
minal or from the upper axils, often trichotomous. Flowers white. 
We omit here P. angustifolia, Roem. and Sch., or P. Indica, Burm. Ind. t. 13. 
f. 3. (not Linn.), and P. amplexicaulis, Pers., neither of which we have reason to be- 
lieve are natives of the Peninsula ; besides, the descriptions hitherto given are much 
too imperfect to permit of our ascertaining what they are. We pass over likor a 
P. sumatrensis of Heyne and Roth, because the name indicates it to have been 
in Sumatra: this has 5 stamens and lobes to the corolla, and is apparently P. bar-
