604 XL. ILICINE.E. (J. D. Hooker.) [Hex. 



that the mss. ticket attached to Blinkworth's specimens in Wallich's handwriting, 

 bears the name excelsa. Brandis is certainly mistaken in referring the EJintia 

 umbellulata, together with various Malayan Peninsula ^specimens, to this species. 

 Wallich describes the flower as inodorous, Braudis as sweet-scented. Very near if not 

 identical with I. rotunda, Thunb., of Japan.

 of Sikkim hills, J. 1>. //. 



A branching tree; bark pale, ashy. T.KH-CH rather membranous, soft, undulate, 

 nerves very slender; petiole slender, -1 i- ; stipules 2, minute. Flower* ($ only 

 seen) |- in. diam., in simple or panid-d peduncled umbedules, which, as well as tin; 

 peduncles and very short pedicels, are more or less pubescent, fragrant. Cahjx-lobes 

 orbicular. Petals ovate-oblong, shorter than the slender filaments, unite 1 below. It 

 is remarkable that of the five collectors from whom 1 have- specimens of this plant, not 

 one has obtained the female flowers or fruit. One of Wa.lich's specimens has the 

 flowers almost twice as large as and more pubescent than the others, and may he a 

 different species. 1 have the same from the ( iarrow hills, gathered l.y 8imonfl. This 

 differs much from 7 in the foi' r peduncles, and more numerous 



flowers, and may prove the same with /. tmlcntn, Wall. 



19. X. sulcata, Wall. Cat. 4330 ; glabrous, leaves 4-6 in. soft elliptic- 

 lanceolate or -oblong or -ovate obtuse quite entire im'inliranous, petiole 

 slender, umbellult-s solitary sinipK- hmg-pcdnnclcd puberulous, flowers 4-6- 

 merous, drupe with about 8 trigonous stones.

Probably a tree ; bark of brandies grev-hrown ; shoots apparently soft. J.im-i * thin 

 and soft in texture, pale yellow-l.i-own when dry, with a slender translucent margin; 

 nerves beneath very slender, ardiinir, hardly reticulate; petiole \-\ in. Uni! 

 12-20-flowered, more or less puberulous, always solitary and simple; peduncle 1 in./ 

 often shorter in the $ , compressed ; pedicels \ in. Flowers'&bout -*$ in. diam. ('ulii.r- 

 lobes orbicular. Petau broadly oblonir, obtuse, recurved, 4 in the 6 and connate below, i) 

 in the ^ and free, shorter than the slender filaments, audimentary-ovary conict^ sub- 

 tended by the obtusely 6-lobed c-alyx. l)ni<-c, \ in. diam., elobose ; .-tones trigonous, 

 with the back, I think, concave, whence probably Wallich's name of sulcata, but t 

 cannot well determine tin's point ; stigma quite, sessile, lobed. Perhaps the same as 1. 

 Godajam, Colebr. Very similar in foliage to /. cyiiwaa, Bluuie, but the umbellules 

 are simple, and bark of a very different colour. 



!?ECT. V. Female flowers in branched peduncled cymes, rarely in simple 

 umbellules. Leaves quite entire in all. (This differs from Sect. IV. in the 

 umbellules being more broken up into cymules.) 



20. X. macrophylla. Wall. Cat. 4331 ; quite glabrous, leaves 4-7 in. 

 elliptic-oblong obtuse quite entire rather coriaceous, nerves beneath few 

 strong ascending, flowers in branched peduncled cymes 4-6-rnerous, drupe 

 small with about 8 stones.
