420 BURMA, ITS PEOPLE AND PRODUCTIOXS. 



I. MEMECTLiFOLiA, Ez. Upper Tenasserim. 



Shrub. Leaves sessile with a rounded or cordate base. Coiymb glabrous. 

 The inflorescence and flowers are suspiciously like those of /. sessUiJlora, Kz., 

 and, despite the very different leaves, may only be a variety of it (Kurz). 



I. SEssiFLOKA, Kz. Hills East of Toung-ngoo, at 3000 to 4000 feet. 



Shrub. Leaves petioled, the base acute or obtuse. Corymb glabrous. 



Yery near to /. sicbsessilis, "Wall., but differs in the sessile flowers, calyx, etc. 



I. EUGOsuLA, "Wall. Tropical forests of the Pegu Eange and the Attaran. 



Tree. Leaves petioled, the base acute or obtuse. Cymes puberulous. 



f f Fhioers slMrtly pedicelleil. Corolla-tube lA-2 inches long, the throat bearded. 



I. Brandisiana, Kz. Upper Tenasserim. 



Glabrous, also the inflorescence. Leaves sessile or nearly so. 



I. coccixEA, L. Generally planted, but elsewhere wild. 



Pau-sa-yeik. 



I. grandiflura and /. 2»'op>nqna, Pi. Br. 

 /. bandhuca, Roxb. 



Glabrous. Calyx-teeth acute. Corolla-lobes more or less acTite. 



f ■(■ f Inflorescence glabrous. 



I. STEiCTA, Eoxb. Tropical forests in Pegu and Upper Tenasserim. 



I. coccinea, Curt. 

 /. alba, Eoxb. 

 /. blanda, Eer. 

 Glabrous. Calyx-teeth blunt. Corolla-tube 1-1 1- inch long, the lobes orbicular, 

 var. a Eo.iburghiana. Corymbs sessile or nearly so, rarely shortly peduncled. 

 Leaves usually almost sessile and often rounded at the base. 



var. ji Blumeana, Bl. ; /. amwna, Wall. Corymbs more lax on a 1-1 A- inch 

 peduncle, leaves usually acute at the base. Petiole 1-2 lines long. Flowers larger. 

 I. (PiVETiA) GLAVcrN-A, Tcysm. et Binn. Upper Tenasserim. 



Glabrous. 2 of the calyx-teeth acute, the 2 others blunt. Corolla-lobes acute or 

 almost acuminate. 



Tins difi'ers from I. fulgens, Eoxb., chiefly in the corolla-lobes; these are figured 

 in Eoxburgh's drawings as very acute, while Wallich's specimens of this name have 

 them blunt. The leaves are now rather opaque, now veiT glossy above, and they 

 seem to vary in shape also. I'avetta Lobbii, Teysm. and Binn., is also very near 

 to it, but really distinct in my eyes. Paretta Teijsmanniana, Mi(j., and Pavetfa, 

 macrophijlla, Teysm. and Binn., are both the same and probably not specifically 

 different from Ixura congesta, Eoxb. Ixora alba of the Botanical Gardens at Buitenzorg 

 (not of Eoxb.) appears to me to be the same as Korthals' Pavctta cahjcina, and has 

 exactly the calyx of /. cahjcina, Thw., but other-ndse the two species are entirely 

 diff'erent. In order to avoid confusion, I suggest that the Malayan species should be 

 called Icora Kurthahiana. Ixora jucunda, Thw., and Pavetta iryckii, Hassk., appear 

 to me conspecific (Kurz). 



°° C'algx teeth 1-U line long. 



I. KOKTHALSIANA, Kz. 



Glabrous. Calyx-lobes erect. Flowers wliitc. 



** Corymbs panicled, the panicles thyrsoid,brachiate-trichotomous. 

 X Panicle thyrsoid, long-peduncled, furnished at the base or above the base of the 

 peduncle with a pair of sessile cordate or oval floral leaves. 



t Corolla-throat nulced, the tube 5-6 lines long.
