I. (Pavetta) nioricaxs, !Xriq. In swampy spots in Pegu and Tenasscrim. 



/. (iffinifi, Wall. 



Leaves thin, turning black in diying. Panicle glabrous. Pedicels 1-2 lines long, 

 var. a gcnuina. Corolla-lobes acute, 

 var. ji crubescens, AVall. Corolla-lobes blunt. 



I do not think that varieties « and /i can be retained as distinct species ; both 

 forms occur as well in Malaya as in Hindustan (Kurz). 



I. DrvEBSiFOLiA, Wall. Marshy spots in Tropical forests of Tenasserim. 



Leaves membranous or chartaceous, one-coloured. Pedicels 1-2 lines long. 

 Panicle glabrous. 



I. spECTABiLis, Wall. Tropical forests of Arakan and Tenasscrim. 



Leaves coriaceous, pale-coloured beneath. Flowers sessile. Pauicle pubcrulous. 



■\ f Corolla-throdt beardctj, 

 I. BARBATA, Roxb. Tho Audumans and Groat Nicobar.

/. oblunya, Wall. and Tenasscrim. var. 7 in the 'Eng' 



Pavetta Ackeringa, Teysm. et Binn. forests of Martaban. var. macrocari)a 



on Pulu Milu. 



A glabrous shrub. Corolla-tube i inch long. Berries the size of a largo pea. 



var. n Roxburghii. Panicle sessile or short-pcdimcled. Leaves glabrous. 



var. ji I. puberula, Wall. Panicle usually longer peduncled. Leaves minutely 

 puberulous beneath. 



var. 7 pumila. Only 1-3 feet high, simjde or nearly so. Flowers often pale 

 rose-coloured. Corymbs small and short, more slender. Leaves glabrous. 



A very variable plant, of which sonic forms closely approach /. viUosa. I 

 identify Roxburgh's species from the Wallichian specimens thus named, which havo 

 pubescent inflorescences, while Roxburgh's drawings exhibit sessile glabrous corymbs. 

 Var. 7 may form a distinct .species, but (being a laterito ])lant) it .shows no other 

 differences, except such reductions and modifications of growth us can be explained 

 by the influence of the peoiliar substratum on which it grows (Kurz). 



I. (Pentadiuji) IIelfeki, Kz. Tenasserim. 



Flowers 5-mcrous. Panicle long-pcduncled. Leaves glabrous, membranous. 

 The specimens before me are incomplete, but very much resemble tho following 

 species. 



I. LONGiFOLiA, Don. Tropical forests of Toukyeghat. 



/. macrophylla, R. Br. non Bl. ncc aliorum. 

 Leaves almost coriaceous, more or less shortlj' pubescent beneath.
