bata, Smith! in Rees’ cycl., which De Candolle refers to Polyozus, but which seems 
to us rather referable to Cupia or Stylocoryne. 
1323. (1) P. Indica (Linn.:) leaves oval-oblong, acuminated, tapering at 
the base, petioled, upper surface glabrous and shining: stipules broad, upper 
ones often concrete at the base: corymbs terminal and from the upper axils, 
their primary ramifications opposite: flower-bud gradually thicker upwards : 
calyx-teeth minute: lobes of the corolla 2-3 times shorter than the tube, 
oval, obtuse: style twice the length of the corolla, glabrous: stigma clavate, 
hispid.— Linn. sp. p. 160 ; DC. prod. 4. p. 490 ; Spr. syst. 1. p. 407 ; Wall.!

There are occasionally 5 lobes to the corolla, and 5 stamens. The leaves 
on the under side, and the young shoots, are either pubescent or glabrous. 
P. polyantha, Br. in Wall.! L. n. 6176, appears scarcely distinguishable ex- 
cept by the rather smaller lobes of the corolla. 
1324. (2) P. hispidula (W. & A.) branches, divisions of the corymb, and 
calyx densely DE : leaves short-petioled, narrow, oblong-lanceolate, 
acuminated at both ends; upper side hispidly pubescent ; under tomentose: 
corymbs sessile, not much divided, with the primary branches short: flowers 
on longish pedicels, lax: calyx-teeth acute, recurved : corolla glabrous ex- 
ternally and in the throat; the lobes 2-3 times shorter than the tube, linear- 
oblong, obtuse, recurved : style more than twice the length of the corolla, 
thickened about the middle, glabrous: stigma clavate, slightly hispid.— 
Wight ! cat. n. 1943. 
The corolla is larger than in the last species. 
1325. (3) P. tomentosa (Smith :) young branches, divisions of the corymb, 
and calyx densely pubescent: leaves longish-petioled, cuneate-obovate, ovate 
or occasionally oblong; upper side thinly tomentose or harshly velvetty ; 
under densely tomentose : corymbs panicled, large, lax ; flowers longish pe- 
dicelled: calyx-teeth small, acute: corolla glabrous externally and in the 
throat ; the lobes more than half the length of the tube, oval, spreading : 
style about a half longer than the corolla, and with the clavate stigma hairy.

Spr. syst. 1. p. 407 ; Wall. L.n. 6173 ; Wight ! cat. n. 1344.—1. velutina, Wall.!

In our specimens the corolla had dropped off; we have taken our descrip- 
tion of it from Roxburgh and Roth: in Roxburgh’s drawing it is not repre- 
sented one-half so large as in either of the preceding species. 
1326. (4) P. Rothiana (DC.:) young branches, divisions of the corymb, 
and calyx densely pubescent : leaves petioled, elliptical, sprinkled with short 
hairs on both sides, whitish and tomentose when young: corymbs somewhat 
panicled, 3—4 times trichotomous: calyx-teeth minute, triangular: corolla 
glabrous externally, bearded in the throat ; lobes oblong, very obtuse : style 
slender, twice the length of the corolla, and with the stigma glabrous.—DC. 
prod. 4. p. 491.—P. villosa, Heyne (not Vah!) ; Roth, nov. sp. p. 88 ; Spr. syst. 
1. p. 407. 
This we have not seen : it appears to come very close to P. tomentosa.

t 1328. (6) P. Brunonis (Wall.)— Wall. L. n. 6172.——Neelgherries.
