KUBiACEiE (H. F. Wernbam) 55 



glabris pro genere mediocribus pedicellatis in cymis corymbosis 

 3-5-chotomis dispositis, pedunculis longis ; calycis limbo sub- 

 integro ; coroUae tubo longiusculo insuper vix ampliato lobis 

 oblongis brevissime acuminatis subacutis reflexis antheras breviter 

 elliptico-oblongas omniao exsertas excedentibus ; bacca nitente 

 glaberrima pisiformi. 



Oban ; n. 1054. 



A leafy shrub with greenish shoots ; the willow-lilve leaves measure 

 from 9 to 15 cm. in length and 1 cm. to over 2 cm. in width, gradually 

 narrowing into the slender petiole 1-2 cm. long ; there are at most 

 6 distant secondary nerves on either side of the midrib. Stipules 

 2-3 mm, long. Peduncles 4-5 cm. long. Cymes barely 4 cm. long 

 and the same in width. Corolla-tube 3 mm. or longer ; lobes 



1 mm. Berry 5-6 mm. in diameter. 



Near P. recurva Hiern, but the leaves are thicker, the stipules 

 entire, and the inflorescence more branched in our species.

Oban ; n. 1045. Marshy places. 



Leaves 12-20 cm. long, 6-8 cm. broad; petiole 8-16 mm. long. 

 Stijiides 6-8 mm. x 6-8 mm. Peduncle 2' 5 cm. long; spike about 

 the same length. Calyx barely 1 mm. long. Corolla 2 mm. long. 



Near T. interrufta K. Schum., but Dr. Krause, who has been so 

 good as to compare Talbot's plant with the type of Schumann's species 

 at Berlin, informs me that the latter has much longer spikes, flowers 

 not hairy, and differently-shaped stipules.
