LOGANIACE.E (H. F. Wernham) 67 



fruiting stage. Calyx 1 mm. long ; corolla-tube 8 mm., lobes 1 " 5 mm. 

 long. Fruit 12 mm. broad, septum 5 mm. long. 



Differs from most species of the genus in its narrow lanceolate 

 leaves. Most nearly related, probably, to M. DinMagci Gilg, from 

 which it differs in its glabrous chai-acter and in its very small calyx.

Oban ; n. 304. 



Leaves quite small for the genus, about 7 cm. long and 3'5 cm. 

 broad. The very short petioles have a very broad, almost sheathing 

 base, and an interpetiolar line is clearly observable at the node. 

 There are 5-6 secondary veins on either side of the midi'ib, but these 

 are usually only faintly discernible on the lower side of the leaf. The 

 inflorescence just exceeds the leaves. The calyx is barely 6 mm. long ; 

 the corolla-tube 12 to 14 mm. long, and the lobes about 1 em. long 

 and 4 mm. broad. Anthers 6-7 mm. long. 



The nearest affinity' among the species hitherto described is A. 

 pulclierrima Gilg, but the present species is at once distinguished 

 by the shape, size and venation of the leaves, and by the much 

 smaller flowers.

 Jioribus in cymis paucitleris umbellatis compositis, bracteis 

 bracteolisque coriaceis ovate-lanceolatis ebtusis ; calycis lobis

 corollae tube supi'a calycem ampliate breviter campanulato lobis 

 elliptico-oblongis latiusculis apice rotundato. 



Oban, Obarekkai; n. 305. 



Leaves small for the genus, 12-15 cm. long, 3-6 cm. broad, petiole 

 5-10 mm. long. A pair of small leaves, 3 • 5 cm. long and 1 • 3 cm. 

 broad, usually subtends the inflorescence, which exceeds the foliage- 

 leaves. Calyx about 1"5 cm. long, outer lobes 6 mm., inner 8 mm., 

 broad, strongly concave. Corolla-tube 2 cm. long altogether, of 

 which the campanulate part exserted bej'ond the calyx measures 

 5 mm. Corolla-lobes I'l cm. long and 5-6 mm. broad. 



This species approaches A. laxiflora Baker, from which it differs 

 in the shape and size of the leaves and calyx-lobes.
