 2 Leea GRANDIFOLIA, Kurz in Trimeu's Journ. B(jt. 1875, p. 325. 

 A small tree 10 to 20 feet liigb : young brandies lenticeliate, glabrous, 

 sparsely verrucose. Leaves glabrous, simply pinnate ; leaflets 5, broadly 

 ovate to oblong-ovate, shortly acuminate, the edges with large shallow 

 crenations or sub-entire; tlie base broad, rounded: main nerves 8 to 10 

 pairs, spreading, raucli curved, at the tips ; both surfaces glabrous, the 

 reticulations not prominent : length 9 to 12 in., breadth 4 to 5 in.; 

 petiolules of the terminal leaflet 2 in., of the laterals '5 to "75 in 

 (7i/»)es about 4 in. across, on peduncles only about 1 in. long, trichoto- 

 mously umbelljite, the bianclies about 1 in. long, almost glabrous 

 Flowers greenish white ; lohes of staminal tube emarginate. Fridt sub- 

 globular, depressed, lead-coloured, when ripe.

 This differs from L. latifolia in having verruculose branches, per- 

 fectly glabrous obscurely reticulate leaves, and small very shortly 

 pedunculate cymes. 



3. Leea. simplicifolia, Zoll. in Natur en Geneesk. Arch. II, 577. 

 An unbranched shrub 12 to 18 in. high ; s'^em glabrous, sparsely lenti- 

 celiate. Leaves simple or ternate : the simple broadly elliptic, somewhat 

 obovate, shortly and abruptly acuminate, the edges sinuate-serrate or 

 sub-entire, the base narrowed and sometimes minutely cordate ; both 

 surfaces glabrous, the lower bright brown when dry and with the 

 reticulations very distinct ; main nerves 9 to 12 pairs, spreadintr, 

 rather straight ; length of the simple leaves 45 to 9 or 12 in., breadth 

 2*5 to 6"5 in., petiole "75 to 2 in. : the pitmate leaves with the lateral 

 leaflets narrowly elliptic and sub-oblique, 8 to 10 in. long, and about 

 3 in. wide, the terminal larger, petiolules about '3 in. long ; the terminal 

 leaflet like the simple and with a petiolule 1"5 in. long. Cymes capitate, 

 dense, about "75 in. in diam. ou peduncles "5 in. or less in length. 

 Floivers numerous, crowded, white : the lobes of the staminal tube with 

 2 broad deep teeth. Fruit sub-globular, "3 or '4 in. in diam., glabrous, 

 dark-coloured and pulpy when ripe. Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. Vol. I, pt. 2, p.
