depressed like the midrib ou the upper surface when dry and promiaeut 

 on the lower; length 3 to 6*5 in. ; breadth 1'5 to 3 in. ; petiole '25 to '35 

 in. Stipules lanceolate with long filiformly acuminate apices, rusty- 

 pubescent, "5 in. long. Gymes in condensed sub-globular panicles 1*5 to 

 3 in. in diam. ; the branches short, covered like the calyces externally 

 with long pale soft hairs and bearing many long filiform pubescent 

 bracteoles. Flowers '7 in. long (excluding the style) on slender short 

 pedicels. Calyx flask-shaped, "IS in. long, the mouth with 5 long linear, 

 recurved stiffly pubescent lobes. Corolla with cylindic pubescent tube 

 more than twice as long as the blunt oblong lobes of the limb. Ovary 

 2-celled, each cell with several triangular ovules, disk thick cushion like. 

 Fruit the size of a large pea, glabrous, the calyx-scar small. Seeds 

 several, angled. Webera Maingayi, Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. III. 103.

Kesembling Pavetta naucleiflora, Wall., in externals, and varying somewhat as 

 to the amount of the pubescence. Griffith No. 3082 { K.D. ) seems to be a form of 

 this with the upper surfaces of the leaves almost glabrous and the lower with minute 

 scanty pubescence.

 breadth 3*5 to 4*6 in. ; petiole '6 to 'S in. ; stipules of the stem-leaves not 

 seen, those at the base of the cyme short, broad, blunt. Cymes crowded 

 at the apices of the branches, each individual pedunculate, corymbose, 

 densely many-flowered, everywhere minutely and densely pubescent like 

 the flowers and their pedicels, 1 to 1*5 in. in diam., bracteoles minute. 

 Flowers "65 in. long ; the calyx about '15 in. long, campanulate, bluntly
