550 PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. LoratltllUS. 



catus of Linnaeus's supplementmn, nor with L. loniceroides, 

 Linn, for here the inflorescence bears no resemblance to an 

 involucred umbel. Neither can it be L. jjentandrus, as there 

 the leaves are alternate, with petioles nearly as long- as the 

 racemes ; in short I cannot well reconcile it to any of the hi- 

 therto described species. It unites the two genera ofLoran- 

 thus and Lonicera. In Bengal I have found it with leaves 

 from five to six inches long, and four or five broad.

 tab. 140. 



Leaves opposite, ovate, underneath downy. Flowers ax- 

 illary, fascicled. Corol irregular, four- clef t ; stamens four. 

 Berries turbinate. 



The Telingas have no other name for this than Wadinika. 



It is also a parasitical shrub, but considerably smaller than 

 the last and much more scarce ; grows upon branches of trees 

 in the same manner. Flowers during the wet season. 



Leaves opposite, petioled, cordate, scolloped, covered with 

 soft, white down underneath ; about two inches long, and 

 one and a half broad. Peduncles numerous, collected in the 

 axills, one or more-flowered. Flowers considerably smaller 

 than in the last species, of a rusty gray colour, and covered 

 with gray farinaceous dust. Bractes one, pressing on the germ 

 as in the last. Calyx of the fruit no other than the bracte 

 of the flower, as in the former. Corol one-petalled ; tube 

 swelled towards the base. Border four- parted, upper fissure 

 deepest; division linear, reflexed ; stamens four, the pistil as 

 in the last species. Berry top-shaped, one-seeded. 



3. L. ylobosus. R.
