 V. FCETIBUM, Wall. vur. u ,\va, Taong-doung. 



Leaves more or less stellately pubescent beneath. Corymbs terminal, 

 var. y3 premnacea, Wall. Corymb involucred by 3 or 4 small leaves. 

 var. 7 Griffithianum. All parts more robust and more densely stellate-pubescent. 

 Leaves about 4 inches long, acuminate, 6-7-ncrved on each side, the lower nerves not 

 meeting at the base (in var. a and ji the leaves are trinerved at the base and, besides, 

 have only 2-3 lateral nerves on each side). Most probably a good species (Kurz).

Epithinia Malayana, Jack. • Kamorta. 



"This genus is generally ascribed to Rubiaeem; but the structure of the ovary 

 and the position of the ovules are tell-tale marks of its Caprlfoliaceous descent" (Kurz). 



Division III. POLYrET ALDUS. 



Flowers with both a Calyx and a Corolla, the latter of separate Petals, 



Series I. CALYCIFLOR-E.

 or epigynou^. Bisk adnate to the base of tht caly.r, rarely tumid or raised into a torus,
