3. N, punctata, R, B/\ Prod. 524, Very near the glabrous form of 

 N. longifoUa, Leaves oblong-lanceolate, 2 to 3 in. long, tapering into a 

 rather long petiole, reticulate above as in N. longifoUa, but the under surface 

 scarcely showing any veins and densely covered with small raised dots. 

 Flowers of N. longifoUa. Fruit ovoid, much smaller than in that species, 

 and scarcely larger than in N, microcarpa.— DC, Prod. viii. 291.

4. N. microcarpaj R. Br. Prod. 524. . A small tree with slender 



branches, glabrous, but the young parts often whitish. Leaves narron'- 



lanceolate, acuminate, tapering into a short petiole, 2 to 4 in. long, the veins 



prominent on the upper side, the primary ones very oblique and some of them 



nearly parallel to the margin, anastomosing with the irregular netted veinlets, 



all scarcely conspicuous on the under side. Eaceme short and often dense, 



sessde in the axils. Flowers nearly of N. ligustrina, but the fruit scarcely 



■half as large, usually globular and under \ in. diameter.— DC. Prod. viii.

5. N. ligustrina. Vent. Choix, under n. 25. A tall shrub or small tree, 

 said to attain sometimes 30 ft., glabrous, but the young shoots often hoaiy 

 or whitish. Leaves lanceolate, usually narrow, obtuse or rarely acute, con- 

 tracted mto a short petiole, rather thick, smooth, without thickened margins, 

 quite veinless or with a few scarcely conspicuous and never prominent veins. 

 Kacemes short and sessile, but the pedicels often rather long. Calyx-lobes 

 trom I to i as long as the petals, which are rather smaller and less mdupU- 

 cate than in N. longifoUa. Style as in that species exceedingly short, wi h 

 an entire or 2-lobed stigma. Fruit nearly globular, varying from white to 

 pnrpleand every shade of pink or red (Gunn), nearly \ in. diameter when 

 fully ripe.— K. Br. Prod. 524 ; DC. Prod. viii. 291 ; Hook. f. Fl- Tasm. '

 brous the young branches not at all white. Leaves linear or veiy narrowly 

 inear-lanceolate acute, tapering into a very short petiole, 1 to 2 in. long. 



thick and smooth, with thickened nerve-like margins, the veins quite incon-
