 teeth less than 1 mm. long. Coi-olla-tiibe 6 mm. long ; lobes 4 mm.

Ixora obanensis Wernham sp. nov. Frutex glaberrimus 

 ramulis nedosis ; foliis obevato-lanceolatis breviter acuminatis 

 apice obtusiusculo venis secundariis distantibus petiole brevi 

 validiusculo ; inflorescentia laxa trichotema pauciflora nee ampla 

 breviter pedunculata, bracteis minutiusculis ; floribus tetrameris 

 inter brevieres ; calycis limbe brevissime dentate ; corollae lebis 

 obtusis quam tubi gracilis dimidium manifeste brevioribus. 



Oban ; n. 230. 



Leaves 18 cm. X 6' 5 cm., with 7-8 pairs of manifest lateral nerves, 

 and petiole 5-8 mm. long. Inflorescence not more than 5 cm. long, 

 including peduncle barely 1 cm., and about the same width. Calyx 



2 mm. Corolla-tube 13-14 mm ; lobes 6 mm. long. Anthers 5 mm. 

 long; style exserted 5 mm. 



Related to I. riparia Hiern and I. gtdneensis Benth., differing 

 from the former in the laxer inflorescence and relatively wider corolla- 

 limb, and from the latter in the shorter flowers, leaves more narrowed 

 at the base, etc.
