terete. Leaves coriaceous, elliptic-oblong, or sub-obovate, shortly and 

 rather obtusely acuminate, the base cuneate ; both surfaces (when dry) 

 dark-brown with a tinge of olivaceous, dull ; the midrib depressed 

 on the upper, prominent on the lower ; main-nerves about 4 pairs, 

 curving upwards, slender, distinct on the lower surface ; length 3 to 4 

 in., in breadth 1-25 to 25 in. ; petiole '3 to '5 in. Stipules small, trans- 

 yersely oblong, very short (often only "05 in. long), pale: coriaceous, 

 2-lobed. Panicles about 1 in. long and twice as broad, ternately um- 

 bellate on the apex of naked compressed peduncles as long as or longer 

 than the leaves : the umbels with 5 or 6 spreading flowers, minutely 

 ]but deciduously bracteolate at the base. Flowers "4 in. long, on unequal 

 pedicels shorter than themselves. Galyx-tuhe campanulate, the limb 

 membranous, truncate or obscurely 5-toothed, deciduous, *! in. long, 

 Corolla "35 in. long, clavate in bud, the tube short, hairy within, the 

 throat glabrous, the lobes 5, valvate in bud, their apices iuflexed. 

 Stamens 5, inserted in the throat of the corolla, ^w^/iers linear, exserted. 

 versatile. Ovary 2-celled with ovules 2 (or more ?) in each cell. Coelos-

2. OoELOSPERMUM SCANDENS, Blume Bijd. 994. Scandent : the young 

 branches cylindric, pale-brown, thinner than a goose-quill. Leaves 

 broadly elliptic, or obovate-elliptic, much narrowed to the base ; midrib 

 and 4 or 5 pairs of spreading nerves faintly depressed on the upper 

 surface, slightly prominent on the lower; length 2'5 to 5 in. ; petioles 

 *35 to '6 in. Stipules less than *1 in, long, narrow. Peduncles usually 

 longer than the leaves, slender, compressed, bearing at the apex three 

 pedunculate few-flowered umbels. Flower-pedicels unequal, shorter than 

 the flowers. Calyx campanulate, less than *! in. long, the mouth 

 truncate, usually with 5 minute teeth. Corolla four times as long as 

 the calyx, clavate in bud, salver-shaped, coriaceous ; the tube slender, 

 longer than the 5 reflexed linear-oblong valvate lobes. Anthers as long 

 as the corolla-lobes, much exserted. Ovary 4-celled, each cell with a 

 single ovule. Fruit depressed-globular, '4 in. across and "35 in. long, 

 glabrous, shining, smooth but with 4 shallow ventral grooves and a 

 minute apical areolus : pyrenes two, each 2-seeded. DO. Prod. IV. 

 468; Hook fil. Fl. Br. Ind. III. 159 (in part).
