18. IxoRA DivEKSiFOLiA, Wall. Cat. 6146. A shrub or small tree, 

 the branches of the inflorescence slightly puberulous, otherwise glabrous ; 

 young branches thinner tlian a goose-quill, pale when dry. Leaves 

 membranous, oblong to broadly elliptic, acute or sub-acute, the base 

 rounded or cuneate ; the upper pair sometimes sessile and sub-cordate, 

 often reduced in size, the majority with stout petioles "3 or '4 in. long. 

 both surfaces smooth, shining, brown when dry ; main-nerves 10 to J 2 

 pairs, curved, spreading, prominent as the lower surface ; length of 

 blade 4 to 10 in.; breadth 2 to 4 in. ; stipules elongated-triangular, -25 

 in. long (sometimes longer and sometimes blunt). Cyme 3 to 4 in. in 

 diam. (its slender peduncle included) 3 to 6 in. long, trichotomous ; 

 the ultimate branchlets minutely bracteolate at the divisions, 2- to 3- 

 flowered. Flowers '4 to "6 in. long, mostly on short puberulous pedicels, 

 some sessile, glabrous. Calyx less than "05 in. long, the 4 teeth shorter 

 than the tube, blunt. Corolla-tube narrowly cylindric, very short in the 

 bud, afterwards lengthening to '2 to "4 in. ; sometimes longer, lobes of 

 the limb 4, narrowly oblong, sub-acute, much reflexed, "2 in. long. Stigma 

 exserted, clavate at first, the arms afterwards divergent. Fruit ellip- 

 soid, blunt, -3 in. long and '2 in. diam. (when dry) glabrous. Kurz. For.;

The corolla of this is much shorter than those of I. pendula, and it is white and 

 the leaves are often broader. The two species are closely allied. A form collected 

 in Perak by Wray (No. 3491) connects the two, combining the longer corollas and 

 peduncles which are characteristic of I. pendula with the general facies of I. diver- 

 gifolia.

Characters of Ixora, but the style very slender and much longer 

 than (often twice as long as) the corolla- tube ; the stigma not thicker 

 and sometimes even thinner than the style and usually entire ; the 

 stipules larger and sheathing, especially those of the lower part of the
