RUBIACEÆ (H. F. Wernham) 55 
glabris pro genere mediocribus pedicellatis in cymis corymbosis 
3-5-chotomis dispositis, pedunculis longis; calycis limbo sub- 
integro; corollae tubo longiusculo insuper vix ampliato lobis 
oblongis brevissime acuminatis subacutis reflexis antheras breviter 
elliptico-oblongas omnino exsertas excedentibus ; bacca nitente 
glaberrima pisiformi. 
Oban ; n. 1054. 
A leafy shrub with greenish shoots ; the willow-like leaves measure 
from 9 to 15 em. in length and 1 em. to over 2 cm. in width, gradually 
narrowing into the slender petiole 1-2 cm. long; there are at most 
6 distant secondary nerves on either side of the midrib. Stipules 
2-3 mm. long. Peduncles 4-5 cm. long. Cymes barely 4 em. long 
and the same in width. Corolla-tube 8 mm. or longer; lobes 
lmm. Berry 5-6 mm. in diameter. 
Near P. recurva Hiern, but the leaves are thicker, the stipules 
entire, and the inflorescence more branched in our species.

Oban; n. 1045. Marshy places. ; 
Leaves 12-20 cm. long, 6-8 cm. broad; petiole 3-16 mm. long. 
Stipules 6-8 mm. x 6-8 mm.  Peduncle 2:5 cm. long; spike about 
the same length. Calyx barely 1 mm. long. Corolla 2 mm. long. 
Near T. interrupta K. Schum., but Dr. Krause, who has been so 
good as to compare Talbot’s plant with the type of Schumann’s species 
at Berlin, informs me that the latter has much longer spikes, flowers 
not hairy, and differently-shaped stipules.
