liuear-lanceolate, persistent. Flower-pedicels shorter than the calyx, brac- 

 teolate. Calyx nboufc -15 in. long, nariowly campanulate, cut about half- 

 way down into 5 acute triangular lobes. Corolla '4 in. long ; the tube 

 cjliudric, only '1 in. long ; the limb '3 in. long, its lobes imbricat^e» 

 oblong, acuminate with free reflexed linear points ; throat slightly hairy. 

 Anthers linear, acuminate, on short filaments, included. Ovary with 

 two 1-ovuled cells ; style much shorter than the fusiform hairy includ- 

 ed stigma. Fruit broadly ovoid or sub-globular, crowned by the calyx- 

 lobes, glabrous, 4 in. long. Seeds 2. Stylocoryne Webera, Wall. Cat. 8iO

Some of the specimens of this have the leaves of a pale olivaceons-brown colnnr 

 (when dry), contrasting in this respect strongly in colour with the majority which 

 are very dark. The species is well-marked by its corolla, the tube of which is only 

 one-quarter as long as the oblong lobes of the limb, while the five linear points 

 of the hitter are reflexed and form a kind of star at the apex of the flower-bads. 

 The lobes do not appear to expand, for in all the specimens I have seen they remain 

 convolute. 



2. Webera Ridleti H.H.W. Pearson MSS. in Herb. Kew. A low

 when dry, main-nerves 10 to 14 pairs, curved, spreading, faint but 

 distinct on both surfaces; length 5'5 to 7 in. ; breadth 2 to 3 in.; 

 petioles '4 to 7 in. ; stipules broadly triangulai-, acute, about "2 in. long. 

 Cymes several together, terminal, in short pedicels, trichotomous, few- 

 flowered ; tlie branchlets angled and with a few permanent boat-shaped 

 acute bracteoles. Flower pedicels about as long as the calyx, bibrac- 

 teolate near the apex. Calyx "25 to '3 in, long, campanulate, the limb as 

 long as the tube, deeply divided into 5 oblong-lanceolate acuminate 

 lobes. Corolla not much longer than the calyx; tlie tube short; the 

 limb three times longer and deeply divided into 5 oblong, acute, contorted 

 lobes with ciliate margins. Anthers 5, inserted on the throat in a band 

 ot hair. Ovary with two uni-ovulate cells ; style very short : stigma
