9. Webera Yappfi, King, n. sp. Young branches thinner than a 

 goose-quill, pale-brown when dry, glabrous. Leaves membranous, nar- 

 rowly oblong-elliptic, acuminate, the base cuneate, both surfaces oliva- 

 ceous when dry, the upper quite glabi-ous, the midrib slightly channel- 

 led ; the lower paler, glabrous but for a few scattered adpressed pale 

 hairs chiefly along the pi'ominent midrib and 9 or 10 pairs of curved 

 ascending distinct nerves : length 5 to 7 in.; breadth 1*5 to 1*75 in. > 

 petioles "3 to '5 in.; stipules broadly lanceolate-oblong, blunt, shorter 

 than the petiole. Cyme on a short peduncle, terminal, paniculate, con- 

 densed, about 2"5 in. in diam., its branches pubescent; bracteoles few, 

 linear. Flower-pedicels about as long as the calyx. Calyx '1 in. long, 

 narrowly campanulate, pubescent ; its 5 lobes less tlian half as long as 

 the tube, triangular, sub-acute, rusty-pubescent. Corolla-tube narrowly 

 infundibuliform, about "4 in. long, pubescent; the 5 blunt oblong lobes 

 of the limb imbricate in bud, reflexed where expanded, glabrous. Style 

 short; stigma slightly exserted, ligulate. Fi'uit the size of a small pea, 

 glabrous. Seeds 2, plano-convex.

39. IxOEA, Linn. 



Shrubs or small trees with terete branches. Leaves opposite, rarely 

 in wliorls of three, often coriaceous, rarely sessile. Stipules inter- 

 petiolar, often with broad bases and acuminate or linear apices, de- 

 ciduous or persistent. Flmvers in terminal trichotomously branched, 

 often corymbose cymes, each bi-bracteolate, rarely 5-merous. Calyx-tnhe 

 campanulate, often narrowly so; the limb 4-toothed, persistent. Corolla 

 salver-shaped : the tube narrowly cylindric much longer than the calyx, 

 rarely widened towards the apex, the throat naked or hairy; the limb 

 with 4, rarely 5 spreading or reflexed lobes, twisted in bud. Stamens 

 as many as the corolla-lobes, and inserted on its mouth by short filaments 

 or sessile ; anthers linear or oblong usually acuminate, the base bifid, 

 dorsifixed, erect, more or less exerted. Ovary 2-celled. Style filiform, 

 exserted but never twice as long as the corolla-tnbe. Stigma slender, 

 fusiform before expansion, after expansion its two arms curved and 

 divergent ; ovules solitary, peltately attached to the septum of each 

 cell : raicropyle inferior. Fruit globose or didymous, with 2 plano- 

 convex or ventrally concave coriaceous pyrenes. Seeds of the same 

 shape as the pyrenes ; testa membranous ; albumen cartilaginous ;
